Toehold Trumpet

Hello!

December gave us so much. The Xmas month was for mist-embraced, snowy travel experiences, warm enough for our wanderer-hearts to beat in joy in the Christmassy cold. And so we shall go on being grateful like we always have, and so we shall go on sharing stories of the past and of the ones in the making like we always have. For after all, we are storytellers of various kinds.
