The holidays this year were a whirlwind to say the least. I really had high exceptions of sitting in Christmas this year; marinate in it so to speak. 2018 had different plans for me and I might have actually had the busiest holiday (for me) to date. I’ve been going non-stop since September, juggling mom life with full-time business life, throwing a puppy into the mix, all while trying to keep up with my self health. I even hosted a Halloween party, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Chanukah all at my little house. I tend to put a lot on my plate. So no, I didn’t get to sit by the tree and drink coco while listening to She & Him’s Christmas albums, (actually didn’t even have my decorated until a week before Christmas) but I did put on my super-hero cape and Santa/Mom sleighed Christmas if I do say so myself. Life has a way of keeping me always on my toes and working me pretty hard, and at times I know I stretch myself thin (which I know is true for a lot of you out there). But, shit I feel like such a champion when it is all said and done, sometimes the pride in myself makes it all worth it. I’m excited for what 2019 brings, life isn’t going to get less busy. If anything it’s going to be more so and I am ready for it. Cheers to Twenty Nineteen. Cheers to personal calendars and organization. Cheers to you and yours.

With much love!,

Des James & Family.
