Am I the only one with mixed feelings about 2020? It was a year like no other filled with sadness and stress. It forced us into situations we never contemplated. Unexpectedly, it also gave us gifts - time to do what we never had time for before, the chance to connect in new ways, building on relationships through technology, still able to smile and laugh and love. I was able to get organized, editing materials I wouldn't use, to fully explore my creativity, With online shopping, I kept connected with my wonderful clients, meeting new ones and also meeting some of them 6 feet apart when they came to pick up their orders. The precious moments of face to face connection and conversation meant so much. I also got a chance for closer connection with the lovely boutique owners who carry my jewelry line.

2021 is anticipated like never before - a year filled with promise, hope and optimism. Life is definitely going to be better and different. We'll get vaccinated and be able to travel, to visit family and friends and be able to hug each other, etc. We will also make decisions about what we want to keep and what we want to change.

My jewelry business will continue to be my passion in 2021. I look forward to the new year with an open heart and open mind, excited about the possibilities. I will continue to be very grateful for many things in my personal and professional life. I am even more grateful to the clients who have supported me throughout 2020. Creating beauty and joy, connecting and giving will continue to be my philosophy.

To all of you, I wish you a wonderful 2021 full of joy, love, laughter, success but most of all, good health.

May 2021 be all you hoped for and more! All the very best to you and your family. May it be the best year yet.
