The bright snow outside attests to the fact that winter has arrived. A few nights ago, I couldn&#8217;t sleep so I got up and jotted down highlights from the year 2010. What I wrote wasn&#8217;t necessarily good\u2014or bad\u2014just things that stuck out in my mind. (It was a lot of fun, and if you&#8217;ve never done anything like that, I&#8217;d encourage you to try. You may be surprised at what impressed you the most through out the year.)<\/p>\n<p>One of the things I acknowledged was after trying skiing for two seasons in a row, I admit it&#8230; although my whole family loves it, skiing isn&#8217;t my thing! No matter how hard I try, this is one sport that I can&#8217;t seem to embrace. So this year, my husband and sons hold a five week pass to Smuggler&#8217;s Notch\u2014I&#8217;m off the hook for all but one. I can handle that. Infact, I&#8217;m looking forward to it. No, I might not like some of the trails, but there are a few that I really enjoy. The beauty you witness at the top of a mountain will never fail to take my breath away. What a glorious and awesome Creator we have!<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the Notch, I have a short little winter story set there. If you looking for a light read to cuddle up with by the fire, I&#8217;d love to tell you about <em>Smuggler of the Heart.<\/em>Disheartened and tired, Samantha Warren returns to Vermont during the winter break. Her passion for history rekindles after finding an old smuggler&#8217;s chest hidden in her grandparents&#8217; attic.<br \/>Will she be able to return to New Jersey without her heart being smuggled like the chest once was? Or is it already too late?<\/p>\n<p>$2.00 Purchase Link: http:\/\/www.whiterosepublishing.com\/Smuggler-Of-The-Heart<br \/><strong>*Special sale:<\/strong> If you by this book you will receive 25% off Daniella!<\/p>\n<p>Happy New Year!<\/p>\n<p>(Smuggler&#8217;s Notch photos are from Google Images.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can you believe January is here?
