This year was hard for everyone. Even for the rich and famous. Hollywood stars and famous musicians took a major hit with so many deaths. We lost my all-time favorite Prince. I could have laid down and died myself when I got that news! We also lost David Bowie, Bill Nunn, George Michael, Maurice White, Vanity, Phife Dawg, Gene Wilder, Tommy Ford, Leonard Cohen, Gwen Ifill, Ron Glass, Alan Thicke, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Carrie Fisher and her mother Debbie Reynolds, and many other talented artists. We even lost Miss Cleo!
2016 has been a whacky year. Donald Trump, the most unlikely candidate in the universe, won President of the United States. England left the European Union. The government suffered a number of internet hacks. Hate reigned supreme with blatant racist demonstrations, terrorist attacks, police killings, religious persecution, and hate crimes like the night club bombing in Orlando, Fl. America argued about transgender bathrooms, police brutality, #blacklivesmatter, #bluelivesmatter, #alllivesmatter, Hilary Clinton, and Colin Kaepernick. Wells Fargo got pinched for fraud and forest fires stole the homes of many.
2016 felt an episode of The Twilight Zone. Strange can’t even describe the happenings of this year. I pray that 2017 will be so much better. My hope is that it will be a year of good news, peace, prosperity, hope, tolerance, love, understanding, community, respect, equality, reconciliation, and a grand celebration of life for all the children of God.
May the New Year be a wonderful one for you. I wish you good things; great things! Be blessed. Happy New Year!
