We have lots of changes taking place for us this year, amidst a world on the edge of chaos. Yet, despite all the uncertainty, Anita and I look forward to the promise of new beginnings as we finally move back to our favourite city, Toronto - Yay!
Personally, I look forward to continuing to work on my novel and also getting in some good physical labour (hey, it is the best exercise!). As well, I plan on moving from Substack to another platform sometime this year and will advise on this soon. In the meantime, my personal email address is now 55dcmunroe@gmail.com should you wish to reach me.
As for Anita, who spent 2024 ignoring her pain and disabilities to enrol in and complete Seneca College’s Independent Music Production Program, she is eager to begin writing and producing original music towards an ultimate “rock opera” based on her life experiences.
Her songs, ranging from sad pop to rage rock, are meant to inspire, maybe make you cry, and definitely tell certain folks to f**k off and die. Her first mastered song, “Shine A Light” (track #7) can be heard here. It is an uplifting shout out to all who live in the shadows of their struggles - and it is an unforgettable ear worm. (The other six songs produced by her fellow students are amazing as well.)
So, we hope you too look forward to many positives in the coming year and please keep reading (and listening)!
