I’ve been doing these for a few years and some may recall the ones from three years ago were pretty raw.

This year I wasn’t sure what to do until I remembered the Kintsugi bowl that I had. The premise behind it is that when a pot is broken you repair it with gold and no two broken pots look the same, so every pieces is unique, and still beautiful, and still functional.

In the last three years I have felt broken a couple of times, and so it seemed fitting this year, when I think I finally feel whole again, to sit with the bowl to remind myself others, and those of you who many be going through hard times now, you are still beautiful, and you re still useful.
