In this issue we will take a look at modern architecture, investigate decorating with bold colors, plant an herb garden for beginners, and look forward to celebrating St. Patrick's Day.  And if spring fever has you itching for a new home, check out our interactive market stats.

It's hard to know where to begin with the feels this holiday season. I choose to look on the bright side and have rediscovered all that I have to be grateful for these challenging days. So much to be grateful for - friends, family, health. Realizing that others may not be so fortunate and doing my best to help where I can. 

In this issue, we will discuss the Norwegian concepts of "hygge" and "friluftsliv"; how to use color in your holiday decor; and how to find gifts that give back.  My hope is that during these trying times this magazine may provide a welcome diversion (and some ideas) to shed just a bit of light, a little holiday joy and happiness.
