Welcome to our 21st Issue & the end of 2020 •
Whew! We are now preparing for the Spring 2021 books and publications, which no doubt have been in the works for awhile. Always exciting to see what creative new endeavors will emerge.
2020 has been a traumatic year, not only in the U.S. but globally. It is very nice to have this one in the rearview mirror. Thus we wish you all a creative and wonderful New Year for 2021!
Please stay healthy and safe. We still need to wear a mask, social distance, wash our hands and when provided the opportunity, get our vaccine jab! I know I will.
