To our Substack family,
From all of us here at OBA Studios, thank you so much joining us as we pioneer the wilds of our mission to help, teach, and inspire creatives to bring that better tomorrow closer than ever. We wish you happy holidays and hope you find yourselves amongst friends and loved ones in a place that warms your hearts during this winter season, and the end of 2024.
You most certainly faced a difficult year full of hardship. Now is the time to be kind to yourself and relax, knowing that you have made it this far and there is always tomorrow for dreams to come true.
During this coldest and darkest time of the year, there is a grim reminder that last year we all thought 2024 would be a better year. Most likely, you are looking at 2025 the same, and perhaps recognizing the difficult cycle that comes with being alive.
Yet, take heart, and now that on these chilly night there is also hope. Many hopes, as many as the lights you see on house as you go by.
One of them is that life continuously changes, and you are not the same person you were last December. Think of all the good that has happened to you this year, whether it is finding your latest video obsession, getting a steady paycheck, rebuilding a friendship once lost, or any other kind of wonder.
As certain as challenges are coming your way in the new year, so are joys, loves, discoveries, and triumphs ahead of you: a whole new adventure that comes with being alive.
Happy holidays, drink and be merry, and we will see you next year, folks.
Love,
, , , and Eric Nutting
Merry Christmas! 🎄💖
