Laila, thank you! I’m so grateful for your support. I hope you’re doing well. It seems as if the news is just getting worse and worse so hope we can both find ways to de-stress.

Thank you! It’s been really nice. I’ve looked at my 2023 tracker and my lists are going to be weirder than in any other year!

Thank you so much for your support and for commenting! You are wise in your decision to step away from the news. That’s part of what I’m trying to figure out for 2024. My current routine won’t work.

You’re so kind! I know you understand better than most. I hope you’re doing well. 2024 is not going to help any of our stress levels.

Thank you for supporting the blog! You’re right about hate and I’m afraid it’s only going to get much worse in 2024.

I think we’re going to need reminding of kindness and grace throughout 2024.

Thank you for supporting my blog!

Thank you! Maybe the PNW will secede with California if things go as badly as are predicted!

Books are my sanity so I just need to figure out how to expend my energy on the positive and ignore the negative.

Oh, the podcast is one of my top priorities! I love doing it and have fun with Sarah. I just need to adjust my routine due to my MS and stay sane in the upcoming year.

Thank you! It helps knowing that I’m not just writing into the void. I’m using the break to find ways to get the most out of my energy and stay sane in the upcoming year.
