Greetings, I hope you all have been enjoying the holidays. I know everyone is anxiously awaiting the arrival of 2021 due to the eventful 2020 we’ve had thus far. I myself am learning to cherish every day. As I look back over 2020 it has been a year of learning and growing for me to say the least. 

In the midst of a pandemic, I was able to experience a ground-breaking career move and I feel like God has strategically placed me right where I am destined to be at this time. I want to thank him for 2020 and I am praying for those who experienced any losses in 2020. Remember God doesn’t make any mistakes.

Join me as I toast to a new year. Even during social distancing we can still celebrate and enjoy the moment. I’m sharing a simple appetizer and a perfect cocktail to help you bring in the new year with a bang. Here’s to an amazing new year 2021. Omniley
