Thank you for listening to my podcast over the last year. I was feeling super shy when I started the podcast because I didn't want to share my voice. I didn't want to talk to anyone but my family. I read something on a tab my mom had opened on her computer that told me it's okay to use your voice. I started telling myself that I need to use my voice more often. Through this podcast I have been able to practice this and I thank you for listening and encouraging me to do more podcasts. 

This year I'm sure everyone will have a lot of fun with me as I bring you new poems and stories and I plan to publish episodes more often. Also, I want to thank you all for your comments and emails as I continue to develop this podcast. Have a very happy new year!

New Years Poem - Author Unknown

At the sound of the tolling midnight bell a brand new year will begin.

Let's raise our hopes in a confident toast, to the promise it ushers in.

May your battles be few, your pleasures many, your wishes and dreams fulfilled. 

May your confidence stand in the face of loss and give you the strength to rebuild.

May peace of heart fill all your days and may serenity grace your soul.

May tranquil moments bless your life and keep your spirit whole. 

This is my wish for you - Ralph Waldo Emerson

This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life.
