'Tis the Season
We hope you are feeling the festive spirit of the "happiest time of the year"! The hustle and bustle of activity is exciting indeed, at times even overwhelming! In the joyful chaos, may moments of serenity and warmth find their way to you.
The season may not feel joyful for everyone, though. There are a lot of unsettling events happening in the world, and some folks are dealing with challenging personal situations. If you can, reach out to those around you. Even a simple act of kindness can make a big difference.
We wish you a season filled with happiness and cherished moments. Thank you for being a part of our literary community!
Thank you for being a part of our literary community!
