Happy New Year Everyone! May 2021 be a Better Year for All! A Year in Review!

This past year, 2020, has been a difficult year for everyone. We have had to keep socially distanced from our loved ones, couldn’t travel anywhere, couldn’t go out to eat safely, couldn’t shop except online, had to wear a mask whenever we were out near others when grocery shopping, had to cancel all events such as weddings, showers, book signings and all get togethers with more than 10 people. Sigh!

We all have lost a full year of our lives but hopefully we will be resilient and bounce back. May God bless all those who have lost loves ones, had COVID-19 or are still recovering from this horrific Pandemic. My heart goes out to all of you.

It’s time to think of positive things and forge ahead to help each other bounce back. Please support your local small businesses who are suffering and anyone who needs your help in these troubled times. We donate to our local Lazarus House who help feed the hungry and provide lodging for those who are in need of shelter. We feel blessed to be able to do that.

It has been a rough year! We must pray that 2021 will be a healthier, happier and safer year for all of us. I wish you all a wonderful year full of good health and happiness and the love of family and friends! Let’s start by getting our vaccines and by still wearing our masks when needed. Stay safe and well, my friends. God Bless!
