As we approach the end of 2022, I thought it would be nice to do a short curtain call and to highlight the most precious/significant/touching/memorable moments for me this year in the photos above. 

I am very grateful for all the people I met this year, the activities I participated in, and the discoveries I have made about myself as I grew to be a year older (and hopefully wiser). 

I loved being an Honorary Reporter for KCC as it gave me the chance to meet outstanding artists and to broaden my own artistic perspective. 

I regret not being able to travel but I am keeping my fingers crossed that 2023 will the year I will "walk down the aisle" <insert laughter>

I have also come to understand the enormous importance of health as I had to fight the new variant of Covid (the much debated "long Covid"), an experience which really put many things in perspective for me. 

I am happy I published my second book of poems and then republished both of them with a brand new cover and format.

I am excited to continue my artistic journey in 2023 with new ways of expressing my deepest emotions that others can hopefully embrace as they are going through their own struggles and joys in life. 

I wish you all a healthy and happy holiday season and may 2023 bring you prosperity and accomplishments in your life. 

​

Merry Christmas!!!

Happy New Year!!!!

​

P.S. I will close with the last poem from my second book that sums up my sentiments. I am happy that I do not feel yearning, nor regret. :)
