HAPPY BLESSED NEW YEAR, BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS! 2020 had brought us tears, joy, sadness and others some happiness. But we will not be forever torn down by the pandemic. My family is dealing with uncertainty one day at a time. The virus is still out there and vaccines may be available to help Canadians soon this new year. We are praying for the families who lost their loved ones during the holidays. May they have peace and comfort. And we are hoping for more love an...d kindness from a lot of people. Please follow the COVID guidelines. Your consideration and compassion to others is the only thing that we can do right now. Thinking of all our American friends who are suffering right now. https://www.cnn.com//heal/us-coronavirus-friday/index.html

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Let's welcome 2021 by "flattening the curve". Y'all know what to do. Wear a mask. Practice social distancing. Stay home as much as you can. Wash your hands. Let's protect each other every moment of the day. STAY SAFE, EVERYONE!
