A New Year Wish For Each of You

My wish for all of us in the coming year: Magic and dreams and good madness, fine books, wonderful kisses, and art...make some. Come back and visit and make art with me. Show me your art. Dance, sing, shout out and howl at the moon. And surprise yourself. Do something extraordinary. Oh, and Love. Most of all, with all your heart, Love. I hope this is the Best Year Yet. And so it is. ~Hobby
