To My Brothers and Sisters

To y'all and to all our fellow travelers on this journey - I sincerely from the bottom of my heart hope, wish and pray for all to have an amazing 2023.

May y'all walk in good health and happiness. May goodness and tender mercies line your paths. We have experienced a time like no other and during these pandemic years we have all gone through so much. May our days ahead be brighter.

Let our beings be filled with empathy, kindness, respect for others and let us respect our self and our abilities. May hearts not hold a grudge but offer forgiveness....may we go that extra mile for others. If we ask ourselves have we grown as a citizen not just of our country but of the world...have we done something to give back to make a difference - and I believe we have - may we continue to hold on and build upon the foundation we have started. Our work is certainly cut out for us. So many wrongs in society that need to be changed. I believe we are up to that task.

To the amazing people here, I thank you. I thank you for sharing your talents. Your words - your very voice is precious. The word is so powerful y'all come here with the amazing ability to create laughter, touch one's heart moving one to tears. They also have the capacity and depth to make one think by considering and understanding the different views we all have. The power of the word in y'all is beautiful. Write on. May your pen hold power and joy. Thank y'all. Happy New Years!
