New Year Celebrate and Suggestions

Heyo and Happy New Year!

I hope you’ve arrived well in 2021 despite all the difficulties. 2020 was a year that people were tested with the pandemic. We have lived through lockdown, stayed away from family, friends and anyone. We gave ourselves hope in the uncertainties. We were taking from ourselves that the power of live and the power of improve despite everything.

Maybe, in this way, we learned how strong we are.

We don’t know when, or if, might return to normal or what kind of scars the pandemic will leave. But we have a hope that we’ll go back to the old good days.

Long story short, 2020 were very different year for me as everyone. And I hope 2021 is a brand new year and I hope it will be great for everyone.

In this article I’ll share a list of suggestions for you from what I read and watched last year.

Here are my suggestions for you and I hope you enjoy!
