Thank you for reading the February 2023 issue of This Awful Awesome Life. Previous issues are available to read on our website. Go to www.thisawfulawesomelife.com and start scrolling or you can enter specific search criteria.

Next month we will be celebrating Women’s History Month and St. Patrick’s Day. In previous issues, we’ve featured women who have distinguished themselves in the areas of politics, activism, science, medicine, history, and the arts. We’ve only touched the surface of this vast pool of incredibly talented women. There are many new firsts to celebrate.

Last year we celebrated March with a writing prompt, and we’ll be doing it again. We will create five stories from the same prompt just to show you what can happen when you use your imagination.

March is also the month we all get to be Irish for the day as we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.

We’re thinking about spring and longing to see the first crocus blooms and a little green peaking through the snow. Are you ready to think about Spring Cleaning?

Lilly Kauffman, Orlando Bartro, Linda Cahill, and I will be back with interesting articles and recipes for you.

We’ll be continuing our reading recommendations, streaming articles, “What’s in a Word?” and “Dare to Believe.”

It’s a new year for quizzes, Q&A’s, and book reviews.

Stay safe. Stay well. You are important, and you are loved.

All my best,

Fran
