Last Community News Catch Up (With Commentary)

I think I'm (almost) finally caught up!

The last few weeks have been busy and yet not too busy.

Busy in the sense of designing extra pages for The Herald-News in anticipation of the holidays and using up the rest of my vacation days, which left little time for extra social media posts.

Less busy in the sense of tackling some personal writing projects I'd let slide this past fall, spending more time with family and friends, and enjoying an overall slower pace.

Here is the last of the briefs I posted to The Herald-News site during that time. I hope you find something interesting and/or inspiring to brighten your day.

Enjoy! :)
