Happy (almost) weekend and Happy 2021!
Gosh, what a year. And while we don’t think we could be more excited to welcome a new year after this one, 2020 did have a few silver linings. More time with family. Connecting with extended family in thoughtful, meaningful ways. A return to simple pleasures - reading, game nights, trying new recipes at home, long walks around the city, quiet nights on the porch with a glass of wine.
We saw rainbows in windows, uplifting messages written on sidewalks in chalk, candles lit on porches to celebrate our essential workers and medical professionals, and cars driving by with balloons and signs for birthday parades.
My goodness, this was a hard year, and though we may face more struggles as we head into 2021, we appreciated this quote from Amanda Kloots, a woman from Los Angeles who sadly lost her husband to Covid this year - “Don’t wish time away. Time is precious, even when it’s hard.”
So here’s to being present in the moment, being kind to one another, appreciating time with family, supporting our community and small businesses however we can, and being grateful for what we’ve got.
Speaking of grateful, we’re so very grateful for all of you. Every time you read one of our stories, like or share one of our posts on Facebook or Instagram, or send us a note, we feel your support. Thank you. We’ve got a few exciting things in store for 2021, and we can’t wait to share them with you.
Happy 2021! Best wishes for a healthy and happy new year!
