2016 - The Year In Brief

This has been tough year.

I lost several people whom I loved most dearly.

I suffered agonizing, inconsolable grief.

But every day, I got up, put on my shoes, and went to work. I worked hard.

In the evenings and on weekends, I continued to work hard creating beautiful things to share with my friends, my family, and anyone who expressed an interest.

Finally and most importantly, in my heart and through my actions, I devoted genuine effort toward learning from past mistakes and becoming a better person.

It has been a rough year. I handled each new challenge as well as I could, but in some ways that will never be enough. Some things can't be changed. Some tragedies cannot be rewound. Some beautiful, wonderful people have been lost forever, and other things will remain broken for a long, long time.
