Let’s face it. This year was awful. It wore me down. I lost weight, my hair is practically falling out, and the only solace I found was writing my short story and sharing it with you. So, because I look like 2025 ran me over, I turned to #AI for a new social headshot to help me look a little more…human. Ironic, I know, but I saved you from a serious jump scare.

May this year be better, filled with connection and mutual support among fellow #authors as we each walk our own journeys. Let’s manifest success for all in #2026 ❤️
