I hope you’re all snuggled up with something hot to drink and a blanket to keep you warm. You could have been anywhere else, a party, talking to a friend or even traveling. But you stopped by to read me. I’m truly honored. I know you don’t read just anything. Thanks for following me this year!

As a person who writes for a living, it’s a privilege and deeply satisfying to write for and connect with you.

It’s been a heck of a year, right? How did you manage? What was the best part of it? And the worst? What was your biggest lesson learned? If you haven’t written in a while, just say hello and let me know you’re alright.

Even if you don’t, know that this winter I wish you well—all the warmth and light the season has to offer. Stay strong, you’ve already made it this far! I look forward to seeing what the next twelve months holds, and hope it’s the most amazing year of our lives.
