The end-of-year holidays are a time for company and celebration, a time for guilt-free overeating and overspending. It is also the darkest time of the year-short days and long nights. Another darkness has affected our country now.
We still have more than a month to go before we’re done with this year that has hurled everything but the kitchen sink at us. The stressors have been nonstop. To borrow from a popular children’s picture book title, this has been a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year.
Our November magazine has always focused on food and gratitude, but this November we are expanding our theme to help us heal from our wounds. We seek comfort from all of the small things that sustain us. Our stories focus on a wide range of people who are creating comfort by building caring communities. And we are honored to share their stories.
