Sherlock Holmes and John Watson have met and enter 221B Baker Street, a flat and yet a character so strongly in its own right that there are references and parodies every which way you turn. And so, their home is established and we also get a glimpse into Sherlock Holmes’ vast array (and lack thereof) of knowledge. Enjoy the next installment of A Study in Scarlet.

A Study in Scarlet: P1, C1: Mr. Sherlock Holmes

We've transitioned into the new year and so I have a story all about the beauty of life and new beginnings waiting for us right around the corner. The Velveteen Rabbit is a beloved story from my childhood and likely from yours too. I remember how, as a child, I used to play with my own toys and dream of what it would be like if they were real. As I re-read this story now, I’m struck by how there is always a new chapter ahead even when it is hard to see it. I'm sure many of you are going through some challenges right now – life can get messy and complicated. I hope this story reminds you that even within the struggles we face, there are always sweet moments to be found. These sweet moments make up this patchwork thing we call life. Here’s to your brand-new year, coming with gifts and surprises for you!
