That special time of year is here once again. And it sure came quickly, at least in my mind!
It’s been quite the year, both here at the blog and personally. From publishing posts almost every single day to planning our wedding, it seems the days of 2019 have gone by in a blur. Now, with the wedding done and the blog posts taking a few days hiatus, I plan to relax as well.
Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, I wish you days of joy and gratitude.
I know I am grateful for each of you, from the reads to the comments, whether it’s cheering on the guest writer of the day or sharing your experience as it relates to the subject matter. To many of you who come to this platform several times a week, your time here humbles me.
Thinking back to when I first started the blog, I really had no idea how many people it could reach. I look forward to publishing more inspiring women’s profiles, as well as tips for healthy living in the New Year.
There are so many topics still to discuss, as well as fascinating women to learn about worldwide. There’s a lot to look forward to, from sharing stories to fascinating biographies, tips, motivation, and more.
The encouragement you provide me as readers keeps me going, day after day here.
At this wonderful time of year, may you have positive spirits all around you – and plenty of good eats!
Love Christy

Hope you have a Happy New Year!
Thank you Christy! I have to apologize for another delay. I have taken the hiatus some days earlier, because my internet speed decreased like the Holy Spirit in the Roman-Catholic Church. Lol
Hope you had a beautiful celebrations of the festive days, could do some skiing, and spending much love to yours. Wish you a good start into the New Year! Michael

I’m sure I’ve already gained a few pounds…Oh well, it’s a celebration, and I think I’ll go make a very tasty dinner. (A lot of chocolate has made its way here!)
A lot of hugs are making their way over to you! xo
Haha I’m having shortbread cookies as I type these words so I totally get what you mean – We’ll get back to normal routine soon enough and then all good ;) HUGS to you and family too, including Johnny!
With all the calories in shortbread, it should be called longbread… or widebread! :D
