Merry Christmas (Whatever That May Look Like!)

Hi everyone

Well, it got me. In a cruel twist of fate, just in time for Christmas too. Damn! That'll be the second festive season away from my parents; their presents from last year will remain here another year (they're quite heavy hence taking them on the train).

Still, I'm far from the only one spending Christmas alone and I'm turning to a positive mindset and attempting to seek out joy every day in get me through. Yesterday I fell in love with Cindy Gallop after watching a video of her cutting through all the bullshit surrounding women's bodies, dating, and sex, and tuned into Katherine May's podcast about hiking with Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild. Like lying in a big bubble bath. Anyway, today I enjoyed brunch on the terrace with the sun shining. Thankfully I have a mountain of work to keep me occupied too. Not sure about you but I find it impossible to be bored.

In more positive news, I wanted to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who has read the newsletter, messaged me, forwarded the newsletter to new subscribers, and generally supported me over the past year. As always, I really do appreciate it. 

I'll still be working over the Christmas period but best to steer away from pitching me until January as I have my hands full with a number of commissions which is a nice position to be in, especially it can often be a famine at this time of year.
 

I wish you all a healthy and safe Christmas and a wonderful new year.

Thanks

Susie
