SM.a.r.t Column: Happy Holidays

S.M.a.r.t. (Santa Monica Architects for a Responsible Tomorrow) is wishing you a wonderful holiday season. We hope you are surrounded by pets, friends and family and can celebrate with festivities and traditions that make you feel that the world, with all its imperfections, is still a good place. We also hope that you can avail yourself of some time off for the 3Rs: relaxation, recovery, and reflection. Like wise we will be taking a holiday break; so our next S.M.a.r.t article will be appearing in the Santa Monica Mirror Friday, January 10.

It has been a tumultuous year internationally, nationally, and locally, so we optimistically wish that 2025 will bring you peace, health, safety, and progress in all the goals that are important to you.
