1
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: Hello, friends and listeners. Sophia here, I just wanted to

2
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: take a moment today to say happy holidays. There will

3
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: not be a new episode of Work in Progress this

4
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 1: week because me and the entire production staff are taking

5
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: the week off to cozy up with our families, to

6
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: eat all of the good things, watch all of the

7
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 1: holiday movies. I don't know about you all, but I

8
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: watch The Holiday and Love Actually on repeat every year.

9
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: They never get old. Throw home alone in there, and

10
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: it's a perfect trifecta. We will be doing those things,

11
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: and probably some craft projects, probably taking some walks around

12
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: the neighborhood. One of our staff members will be cozying

13
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: up with her new baby, and hopefully everyone will get

14
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: caught up on some of the sleep we've all missed

15
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: in this wild year. Twenty twenty three has been a

16
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: big one, and I know twenty twenty four is looming

17
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: with an election and so many other things that feel

18
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: overwhelming to so many of us. So my hope is

19
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: that each of you and your loved ones gets to

20
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: recharge over this break, and I hope that the ways

21
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 1: that we recharge in our individual lives can reinvigorate us

22
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: a little bit to show up for the collective and

23
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: for our community. I know that this year is going

24
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,839
Speaker 1: to need us, and I know that we need each other.

25
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: So I'm sending you all a lot of love, hoping

26
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: for your rest, hoping for your rejuvenation, and I look

27
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: forward to seeing you all on the front lines of

28
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: learning and loving and showing up for each other in

29
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. Sending you love,
