Our winter window has been a happy beacon of an almost proper Chicago style winter. I love this time of year when we mirror nature and slow down, send our strength down into our roots and eat a lot of pork chop sandwiches.  We are having many happy talks with new clients, and it amazes me how these tiny blips of communication, an email, a brief meeting, a mood board, work like seeds; planted in the midst of all this snowy darkness they grow into full blown events beyond our wildest imaginings.
