There is this soft place.This comfort and solace.Not found in this world.Only in You.I'm known there.There is hope there.Where peace lives.Only in You.

My new favorite holiday treat: Dark Chocolate Orange Coconut Truffles. Since my favorite fudge is made with sweetened condensed milk, I went in search of a dairy free substitute.
