There are many ways to celebrate with friends, family, alone, in a place, or at home. To those who choose to make this a month of celebrations and reflections, I say “Cheers!”
I honor, respect and welcome any and all ideas for celebrations. May this December be a peaceful, bountiful, joyous and healthy one for us all.
Aloha,
Denise
