What a harrowing experience! It does seem odd that you never heard from the pilots? Maybe send this piece to the President of the airline and see if you receive a response?

Whoa, I'm so sorry you had that experience. Communication is everything, especially in crisis! I hope your entry into 2026 is peaceful.

I'm really glad to see a newsletter from you before the year closes out. That sounds like such a harrowing scary experience! But the photos, once again, are wonderful. Happy new year, Julia!

Thanks Jenna. I'm still here, just have been a bit underwater with other things. I promise more updates soon. Cheers to 2026!

Your post was both beautiful and terrifying. I chose to take away the importance of interdependence. So in the words of T.S. Eliot - What we call the beginning is often the end and to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from. On to 2026! My best wishes to you and Hunter!

I love that sentiment. Thanks Gail! Happy 2026
