My #WinterSolstice treat for myself this year is some #vegan #TurkishDelight.

Like many kids raised in conservative Christian communities who read #TheChroniclesOfNarnia by #CSLewis, I was fascinated by the idea of a candy so good that Edmund would sell out his siblings for it. And since I have a penchant for gummies, when I finally tried it, I thought it was fantastic and that Edmund maybe had a point.

The deep irony there is that now, as a #Slavic #pagan, my patron goddess is #Morena, the goddess of winter and death and basically the White Witch. So maybe I was drawn toward #witchcraft earlier than I thought? 😆

Anyway, this is just a little reminder to all the other folks in the northern hemisphere to do something sweet for yourself this Winter Solstice!

Happy Solstice!

Last week, my director informed me that we might be taking on a client who will be doing a conference next June in #istanbul, and that they were wanting to send me to do the registration.

I am rather excited at this prospect - especially since I was told that it would be understandable if I'd like to take a few days after the conference to explore (obviously on my own dime).

I may need to bring an extra suitcase to fit all the fresh #lokum I'll most certainly want to bring home.
