We have come to the end of the year, and I apologise for not having been active on the blog for the last few months. Due to health challenges the blog had to take a back seat for awhile. But I would like to wish all my followers a wonderful year ahead filled with peace and love, and wish for a little more kindness in the world. I do promise to return in the New Year with many interesting interviews lined up.
I leave you with a photo essay of my trip to New York in October this year. It had been a long time dream to go to New York as it had captured my imagination for years. It felt like I had known it all my life when I finally got there. It is absurd it had taken me so long, and I plan on returning soon!
