Happy New Year 2023! It’s going to be Golden!
Starting this beautiful year 2023 with a blank template, literally empty and without a thing that needs my immediate attention! It’s perfect in a way, a quiet solitude that does not occur in my life often. Unbecoming of so much that I knew of myself, I’ve taken the past few weeks with a pinch of…
