Lovely people, friends and everyone else,

actually I just wanted to wish you all a very happy 2020. But if I look around, I feel, this isn’t enough. Words like ‘happy’ or ‘merry’ are somehow not enough, nor do they seem appropriate.
When I browse through the news or scroll down my Facebook timeline I see so many sad or horrible news:
Australia is burning.
People still are drowning in the Mediterranean Sea.
The UK will be leaving our EU community soon.
Germany is slowly being occupied by backward-thinking heartless Nazi dimwits yet again.
We have a climate crisis going on, that most likely will lead to a climate catastrophe, yet a lot of people have nothing better to say than mocking a 16 year old girl for pointing out the truth.
Narcissists like Trump and Erdogan (among others) are running countries into the ground (sorry American friends, my opinion).
And there is so much more! All in all there is a lot of terrible stuff going on and what can I say to that? ‘Have a Happy New Year?’ ‘Thoughts and prayers?’
Doesn’t seem quite right to me.

So I am wishing you all a good heart and strength for the upcoming year. You can use it for yourself, for whatever life throws at you or share it with others who need it. Sharing is good, too!
Have heart and be strong.
A good 2020 to you!

Lots of love 🖤
