December has always been a challenging month for me. Lots of extra things to do, parties, late nights, irregular sleep schedule, get togethers with family and the overall anxiety which revolves around the holidays. It is a time for me to be extra careful with the energy that I do have and choose wisely what I will do with it.

For me, it is also a time of reflexion on what has happened in the past year and to say "Thank you" to all the people, organizations, institutions, family members, friends, acquaintances, etc. who have helped me throughout the year. I know that without their support, I would not make it through. The time and effort they devote to being there for me means a great deal and I am very grateful.

Bonnie, Chelsie and I would like to wish everyone Happy Holidays and a New Year filled with health, love, enjoyment and peace.
