Another year passed in which we went through emotions and circumstances, in which one found oneself or even lost oneself.
I hope that the past year touched your hearts.
If we look back on this year, are we able to see a change in our personality?
With aging, is our soul reflecting more beauty?

Lace is art. Many symbols are included in the designs of laces.
But what is the most important symbol of lace?
The symbol of lace is “thread”.

Lace is made by thread, just like life. The image is “ the longer the thread can be spun, the longer the thread of life can go on”.
The thread can be very fine but strong. Life can be full of problems but still we can manage even when we go three steps forward and two steps back. The weaving of our life is perpetual.

You should keep in mind that if you search for the maximum in a piece of art, you will not reach fulfillment.
If you search for the maximum the artist put into the piece of art, such as feelings from the heart, you will reach total fulfillment.
It is important to try to understand the feelings of other people, not only the reflection of yourself if you look at art.

But most of all I hope that everyone gets peace and harmony in their hearts so that there will only be beautiful people in this world.
Let's all make a vow to look at the first sunrise in the next year so we are a bound in sharing the power of the sun.

Diane Claeys and her family would like to convey sincere wishes for a peaceful Christmas and a prosperous New Year to all the people in the world.
