On New Year’s Eve 1999, we were in Louisville, Ky. I didn’t know it or plan it but two and a half months later I quit my job to go freelance. I’m glad I did.
How is the world the same? Gravity is still the law, death and taxes are still unavoidable, and the sun still rises in the east. I know that sounds flippant but I don’t mean it that way. I find it useful to remind myself of constants that are far bigger than me.
(OK, here’s a flippant answer to “how is the world the same?” ~ The Rolling Stones are still together.)
How has the world changed? I believe we’ve seen the end of the 20th century politically and culturally. What comes next? I think the prospects are both exciting and scary.
I love what you’ve shared here Karena - and your two words, blessing and community. And I find that the latter can often incorporate the former. All good things and blessings to you in 2025.
Blessing and Community- two things wrapped up so beautifully together in this one. ♥️
Happy healthy enjoyable 2025 to you Emma!

You Irish writers have a handle on braiding the two together superbly!
