Letting It Settle with Michael Galyon

Trade the day’s hurry for hush as Michael guides you up a snowy mountain road and into a fire-lit log cabin where friendship, laughter, and the scent of cinnamon-pine mingle in the air. Make snow angels beneath silver icicles, share stew and mulled wine around a candle-glow table, then melt into overstuffed chairs while the fire pops and star-dusted silence settles outside. By the time the lullaby of wind through evergreens brushes the windows, every thought drifts like falling snow and sleep arrives as softly as a blanket laid across your shoulders.
