2019 is here. This year that ends has been a challenging one, with a lot of changes and a bit turbulent, but I don’t have a bad taste in my mouth. In spite of everything, I don’t believe things happen without a reason. There is always a reason, and this is a roller coaster that I had to ride if I wanted to bring new things and people to my life, in order to pursue the goal I always had in mind. So I feel kind of grateful for this “shake me”; otherwise, I couldn’t face the new year with energy and surrounded by people that I have chosen.

Now you will find all the Advent Calendar that we’ve been opening day by day until the 24th, where everything finishes and starts. We are already in the home straight for the Christmas celebrations, so let’s be optimistic, let’s bring the positive things of 2018 and let’s forget the bad ones. Let’s set amazing goals for the 2019, which we will achieve if we pursue them with tenacity, strength, hope and attitude. And now, don’t forget to write the letter to the Three Wise Mean but here’s my tip: the best gift is a hug, a smile, saying I love you to someone and of course, a book.

Happy 2019.
