Mimosas & Memoirs: Gifting Your Story to the World
A Holiday Conversation with Erika Norwood, Publisher of Love, You: A Visual Diary
Sunday, December 21
1:30pm - 4pm | Free Entry + RSVP Required
As part of our Christmas at the Vineyard series, we invite you to spend a meaningful holiday afternoon inside our warm, beautifully decorated Living Garden Room. This season, amidst all the joy, pace, gatherings, and expectations, we wanted to create room for something different — a tradition that honors you.
Join author, publisher, and Vineyard co-founder Erika Norwood for an intimate holiday conversation and reading centered around story, voice, and the quiet, powerful gifts we carry within us. Over a glass of our signature mimosa, Erika will share, for the first time in person, the true story behind the Love, You : A Visual Diary — a two-year journey that began in her private journals and blossomed into a published coffee table book featuring reflections and contributions from women around the world.
She’ll speak about how writing became the unexpected gift she gave herself during a season of twists, pivots, beauty, and uncertainty — and how the book continues to reveal new layers of meaning each year. She’ll share how creating Love, You allowed her family and friends to see her not only as mother, daughter, or colleague, but as Erika, a woman with a voice, a story, and a point of view.
This gathering is for anyone navigating the full spectrum of the holidays — whether this is your favorite time of year, a complicated one, or something in between. It is for those who are redefining family, rewriting traditions, creating new rituals, or simply longing for a moment that feels real and grounding. It’s for anyone who wants to honor their own story as one of the greatest gifts they can offer the world — a gift whose shelf life may carry forward for years, decades, and maybe even beyond us.
Come for the warmth, the beauty, the conversation, the inspiration.
Come for a new kind of holiday tradition.
Come as you are.
