Happy new year!

Hi, friends! It’s Brenda, back in your inbox for all the Central Florida Happenings.

There’s a lot to look forward to when a new year begins. What are you most looking forward to?! Let me know.

I have a few trips in the works and overall, I just have a lot of hope for this year! So I’m excited to see how everything turns out.

Enough about that, though. Let’s get into what’s happening ⤵️
