What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year?
Hmm…quite a few, I think!
It’s actually been quite a distressing and lonely year. But, despite that, I feel I have accomplished a lot.
A massive, but positive event for me this year…was completing 10 months of EMDR therapy for C-PTSD. This was undoubtedly, one of the hardest, but necessary challenges for me….well, for a long time, anyway!
I joined the world of WP blogging. I believe I’ve made some wonderful friends and have built some positive connections. I have learned a lot and I hope I will continue to learn from my fellow artists, writers, poets …
To be featured in “FEATURES by VALENCIARTIST” on WP, of which I’m truly grateful.
I quit smoking!
I picked up my paint brush again.
I have completed two paintings, and I’m currently working on my third and fourth.
I continue to write the final chapter of my memoir.
For those who know 😉…shenanigans & 💃💃💃 will be escalated in 2025! 😂😂
Happy Saturday, my friends! ❤️
Congratulations!

Nice 👏👏👏👏 , for me to , I started blogging and made a lot of friends, got to know different types of people, left toxic people, gained weight ( it’s not good though 🤧) , watched good series, made some lifetime achievements etc . Yeah there were more bad things but one thing is : I grew up more from 2023 . I stayed alive 😎.
