As our crazy summer weather forces festivities indoors, I am still grateful for the privilege of living in a peaceful country, food and shelter in abundance, family and friends near and far, and the chance to share my creativity with others.

My paid writing gig has seen me neglect my blog rather badly, so to my followers I do apologise but I’m sure many of you understand that life is full of ebbs and flows. I will be doing three months of fulltime work for our local newspaper from January so that will keep me busy.

May this holiday season however you celebrate it bring much joy and a chance to reflect on what is really important to you and those close to you.

May there will be a sense of willingness for our world leaders and those in power to be changemakers for good and end this senseless waste of lives especially of women and children. I count my blessings this Christmas Day but know we cannot stand by and do nothing.

If we can be nothing else, let us be kind. May we travel towards a more caring and compassionate world in 2024.

Many thanks for dropping by, and maybe I might find more time for my blog next year! Happy blogging everyone.

In Kindness,

Lynn
