I woke up and it was zero degrees this morning. The world was covered in frost. Pulling back the curtains, the cold air breathed on to my sleepy eyeballs waking me up, immediately.
Two weeks ago the days were the darkest I can remember. As my sister Shannon and I recorded Hexed via Skype, her space in Ontario gleamed brighter and brighter and by the end of the podcast, she could hardly see me. It was like my candle in a cave faded away and I turned into a shadow before her eyes.
Thankfully life lightened and even warmed up a little and filled my house with glorious golden light. Knowing how rare this sunshine is, especially at this time of year, I took the opportunity to shoot a video to launch my new calendar. What shocked me even more was most of my house was too sunny to make the video in. I had to do it in my kitchen which is usually the darkest room in my house. Check it out.
Today is our last day of sun for a while. Days of rain are coming and let's be honest, they will probably end up being snow days very soon. I made the most of the sun while I could. I know my dark cold dungeon days are approaching. I hope these memories of the sun are enough to keep me warm, keep me going and remembering winter is not forever.

Don't forget that when the snow is on the ground, everything is light! Even indoors. Our house is dark all the time too because we are totally surrounded by trees but when it snows, it's light!!
I know it doesn't make up for you not being able to go out but at least the days are brighter! Maybe it's just because I love the winter.
