It is with love and gratitude we reach out to connect with you, an integral member of our In Your Own Words Women family, with warm and heartfelt holiday greetings.  If only we could have known at the onset of 2020 what we know now … how the year would play out in a full blown pandemic amidst political chaos.

In our little corner of the world we journeyed from celebrating the publication of our second collaborative book to a landscape of stark upheaval, personal losses, awakenings, reckonings and change. Not one of us is alone in this global saga, which has brought out our personal and collective best – from challenging us to hone our survival instincts to evoking profound compassion and empathy, deepening our connections and motivating us to take action where needed.

We cherish our connection. You occupy an indelible place in our lives, our story and our hearts – a place where we can, indeed, feel the love.

Our wish is for your holiday season to be filled with peace, joy and vibrant health. May you herald in 2021 with a renewed sense of resilience, determination, strength and loving connections.

Holiday Blessings from Our Home to Yours,

Katharine and Diane
