Happy Holidays 2024/25!

Some pics from the the past few weeks.

As we celebrate the season of joy, be it Christmas or Hanukkah, I want to extend my heartfelt wishes to each one of you. Your support and engagement mean the world to me.

My dear friend **Rosa** came to visit from Vancouver.

This festive time is about more than just the presents under the tree—it’s about the love we share, the memories we create, and the hope we carry into the New Year. Remember, the best gifts in life are not found under the tree but in the hearts of those we hold dear.

**Kiki’s book club** in her beautiful home. We discussed “*From Here to the Great Unknown”* A memoir from Lisa Marie Presley which was finished by her daugher Riley Keough. Although disturbing at times; a fascinating read about a famous family. Next up: “*Midnight Library.”*

As we stand on the threshold of a new year, it’s natural to reflect on some of the challenges we’ve faced. Yet, amidst the darkness, it’s the glimmers of light that remind us of our strength and resilience. Each dawn brings with it a promise of renewal and the possibility for brighter days ahead. Let’s hold onto the small joys and victories that sustain us.

Let’s continue, or at least try to embrace the power of optimism. It’s not about ignoring the difficulties but about finding the courage to believe in better days.
