The end of 2024 approaches and we can see the rising Sun of a New Year gradually rising, as the old year slowly sails over the horizon. But, before that, there is Christmas, the festive holiday season and a time for celebrations with community, family and friends. Inspired by this festive period I created the "Return of the Christmas Miracle" a comic book and a video on YouTube.
During the course of a year, our minds tend to focus on a few things in life and we ignore what matters. With this thought in mind, I wrote a poem, "An Open Mind Helps You to Exchange and Receive Thoughts."
The year is almost ending and we need to complete the projects we have and set up new ones for the New Year or continue with renewed enthusiasm the ones we carry forward from this one. his poem, will help you in looking ahead, "Wrapping Up a Year?" It is time for you to make your life celebration account by writing an essay, a short story or a poem to encapsulate all that has happened this year.
There are projects that we are excited to start in the New Year, ones that we have been training for several years. There are new dreams and new visions to fulfil in 2025. Read this poem, "Time to Put Your Skates On", to help you to steam forward.
Yes, it is time to celebrate your triumphs and successes no matter how small they are. Here is a poem to guide you as you do this before this year ends, "Leap, Soar and Dive into 2025".
What have you achieved this year? If you have done something minor or major, that has made a difference in your life, "Plant that Flag at the Mountaintop". We are dwellers under a radiant and powerful Sun. Here is a poem I wrote about, "Kingdom of Sunrise and Sunset".
Wherever you turn and whatever you read or watch you will find the mention of AI. Whether we wish to accept it or not, we are a generation, that is being influenced in a major way by artificial intelligence. In this article, "The AI Generation at the Frontier of the Future", I attempt to explain the position we all are living in at this moment in time.
Being the end of the year I decided to make a short video compilation of a few of my books completed this year and others which have been of interest to readers and followers, in "Books by Warren Brown for your Collection".
As a Co-Editor at Dancing Elephant Press, I created several short videos on the books produced by the publication.

As we are visual beings and think with images, the idea of a short article on the vision of the day came to mind. Tell me what your thoughts are on this concept, I would love to know.
What is your vision for today?
This evening the thought of a letter series came to mind and I had to complete it so that it could be shared with my readers. I am sure that you will enjoy reading this creative writing challenge.
Have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful festive season.

Most years I spend the time between Christmas and New Years reviewing the old, the accomplishments and missteps. I look at the growth of my family and how much more they fill my life now. It's always a good step to do a spiritual review, and know where are you and where you know you should be..
Then there's the opportunity to continue to plan for the future. At 78, I've found my true calling and legacy, to provide education, and entertainment that creates tomorrow's great adults. It can be done. I'm so excited to be on this path with friends, associates and my family.
May the choicest blessings of all be yours as you strive to serve for the benefit of others.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Warren and to all your readers.
