2023 unfolded as a captivating chapter in our lives. In the midst of grappling with global conflicts, economic uncertainties, supply-chain disruptions, and various challenges, we also experienced profound personal sorrows and heartaches. This year rigorously tested our physical and mental resilience like never before. As we navigate the aftermath, it’s undeniable that 2023 brought forth its share of positive moments.

I find myself brimming with gratitude for the presence of a supportive husband like Rahul, a son as wonderful as Storm, and a family that stands by me unwaveringly. Amidst the trials, I had the opportunity to embark on enriching travels, savor delicious cuisine, partake in memorable events, engage in acts of kindness, and reunite with my family after an almost six-year separation. A particularly significant highlight was my long-awaited return to India, reuniting with family, an experience that almost offsets the challenges of the year.

As we approach New Year’s Eve, I reflect warmly on the highlights of 2023 and eagerly anticipate the arrival of 2024 with a renewed sense of hope. May the coming year be characterized by compassion and positivity for us all! Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!
