Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Dear Friends,

I wanted to send you my message of good wishes early since I will not be available, and without access to email or Facebook until early January. This has been a very important year. Many decisions, twists and turns took place, but I have been blessed with all that I have lived, all the wonderful people that I have met, and the opportunities to still do what I like best.

Thanks to all those people who have given a certain meaning to my life.

I can only wish you the best... And if there's poetry in your life for sure everything will be fine.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Manny Lopez

The Gracious Time

Some say that ever 'gainst that season comes

Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated,

The bird of dawning singeth all night long:

And then, they say, no spirit date stir abroad;

The nights are wholesome; then no planets strike,

No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm,

So hallow'd and so gracious is the time.

William Shakespeare
