Hi Reader Friends,

The beginning of any year makes me nostalgic. While many of us are recovering from making Merry and Bright, others are still setting goals, and fighting to keep those resolutions made over copious amounts of champagne.


You’ve probably heard me say this a time or two, I never make resolutions. Instead, I set goals. I also make a vision board. Having a visual board keeps me on track. So, what’s on my vision board this year? Things/Events/Happenings- anything  that would make 2023 special to me.


My vision is usually about books, travel, pets, finances. The latter I am really bad at. Number one goal this year is taking that long train ride with the sleeper and dining car. I love trains, and an overnight trip is truly memorable. There is no better view than from a train.


What’s on your plate this 2023? Whatever you have planned, may it bring you joy and personal satisfaction.

My wish for you is good health, an abundance of happiness, and an overall attitude of gratitude.


Stay Safe! Be Happy! It’s going to be a good one!


Romantically Yours,


Marcia King-Gamble
