I’d like to wish everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 2023 was quite the experience. A lot was learned along the way. Like a river we must flow with life and I spend the first day of a new year in England reminded of how blessed I am, willing and praying what's to come was worth weathering the storm. I have a lot in store!
I’d like to thank everyone who made this past year special. Thank God we don’t go through life alone. Thank you to Sara AB for being with me every step of the way. To my parents Michael Paul Leighty & Debbie Hedrick Leighty for your love and generosity and willingness to drive through New England storms. Thank you to Diana Arvin Scales Leah Tolbert Shari Hedrick Hulsman Kay Hedrick for your generous donations to the earthquake victims of Morocco. You are proof of just how far a little bit can go to impact the lives of those halfway across the planet. Thank you to Zach Koenig & Ragon Ashley Koenig for inviting me to be a part of such a big life event. Congrats! Thank you to my fam back home for believing in me and to my Moroccan Family for making me one of your own. Thank you to Thomas Bryant for pushing my work to new highs and to all those on the sidelines rooting for my next project, waiting patiently. Lori Ellett Nicholas, Ryan Vaught, Randi Pershing, Amy Dedina just to name a few (of many). This year was a freaking whirlwind, but I have to believe that struggles are a vital part of evolving into a spiritually sound and strong person in general. Hardship doesn't have to define us. There is more to life, and looking at all these names and the many I've not listed its clear there is good in this world.
Here's to making the next one the one yet!
