Alrighty here we go! Not only starting a new year but a whole new decade! It's bound to be filled with great discoveries about yourself and the world around you, travels to many different places, as well as lots of new folks that can have great impacts on your life! Along with tons of other great stuff. But there are also going to be plenty of tougher roads and steep hills ahead, that will surely put your will and spirit to the test, exposing you to enormous pressure. It'll by no means be easy. but it's those tough trials that continue to shape us into tougher more resilient individuals, while further developing the wisdom that sharpens our minds.

Do your absolute best to stay focused on your goals, remembering what's important to you, what you stand for, and who you are. No matter how hard you get knocked down, something that will happen a variety of times, be willing to reach deep inside and harness that inner strength to find a way to get back up and keep roarin along; never giving up. Even making those loved ones who unfortunately didn't make it this far, very much proud of us as we march forward! Those who may not be with us physically, but live on forever in our hearts and cherished memories. And lastly, do what you can to help those around you. Kindness, love and compassion towards those around you are true forms of strength that helps everyone. We may walk separate paths, but we all share this same beautiful green and blue home.

No matter how 2019 ended, lets hit the ground running... or well diving in x) As we all know life doesn't really give proper breaks. As once you've conquered one trial, another one is right 'round the corner you've gotta take on. 2020's gonna start off pretty hot on this end, with something tough that'll have a big impact on the course of my life in just the very first week. But I'm as ready as I'll ever be and will figure ways to navigate it, just like we'll all navigate difficulties from time to time. I certainly wish each and every one of you from my heart, the best of luck in this new year. Keep your wings spread wide, and let's get to it, ready to roar and soar! You've got this!

Oh and I know I said that I'd do more raffles by years end, which I've obviously failed at epically. I still plan to do em but ran into some difficulties, so keep your eyes open as I'll get around to em soon enough.
