Hello FA!

2025 is almost over and what a wild ride it has been. Many of you know that I've had multitude of health struggles and triumphs. In 2022 and 2024 I had a stroke. I've finished speech therapy and as an educator it behooved me to teach myself. So here are the positives for 2025: Recovered from TB (YAY!), made huge improvements in recovering from the strokes - relearned how to talk (thank you speech therapy), type, drive, write, etc. This is huge and my doctors are thrilled. I've also lost 60lbs this year which after two years of being sedentary I'm stoked to start my health journey in earnest. The sad news: I have slowed cognitive function and little to no short term memory. This may get better or may be permanent. I am still several years behind on uploading commissioned art. Due to my memory lapses I'm gonna need your help. Artists deserve all the credit praise and promotion. I'm proud of every piece and my characters being brought to life give me so much joy. If I have failed to remember please forgive me. This is not intentional at all. I truly am struggling and if I haven't reached out or been very social - know it's my mind isn't as sharp and the struggle is real. I miss everyone and have no bad juju at all. Basically everyone and anyone will get a clean slate from me and I hope that together we can enjoy this ride called life. Be kind to each other - this stays with me and even if my memory wanes I'm here for you all and look forward to sharing more hobbies, games, art, and stories together. Happy Holidays and may 2026 be YOUR year!!!! *HUGS* Thanks for reading my rambles!
