It’s been a pleasure to read your words and an honour to be invited to write some too. Much to be inspired and encouraged by, and that’s all we can offer and look for when the world needs as much creativity and art as we can find. Wishing you a gentle transition into 2026.

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. You’re right, in times like these, offering and seeking out creativity feels more important than ever. It’s a way to stay connected and uplifted. I hope the coming year brings you peace and gentle moments, and I look forward to seeing where our creative journeys take us next. Wishing you all the best as 2026 unfolds.

Thank you, Dan! Those difficult times have shaped me in many ways, and knowing I can still offer a bit of kindness and support to others makes it feel worthwhile. Your words bring comfort and encouragement, and I truly appreciate that. Here’s hoping that 2026 holds brighter days for both of us, filled with moments of joy and renewed hope. Wishing you all the best, too, from the bottom of my heart.

Happy New Year to you as well, Jason! I feel truly grateful that you were part of the Halloween short story project. Your support and encouragement mean a lot to me, especially as I keep pushing forward. I’ll definitely keep writing, and I hope we get to collaborate or share stories again this year. Wishing you a wonderful and creative year ahead.
