We hope you enjoyed our January 2022 issue of This Awful Awesome Life. Thanks for reading!

February is Black History Month and American Heart Month. During February we will also be celebrating the Chinese New Year, Groundhog Day, Valentine’s Day, President’s Day, and National Chili Day.

Orlando Bartro and Lilly Kauffman will be back with articles. Linda Cahill may have her sights set on warmer weather, but she’ll still have quick and delicious recipes from Pampered Chef to help you stay warm.

We’ll have a new quiz, reading recommendations, and I have an interesting book review planned. This author wrote her first book at the age of twelve and mysteriously disappeared at the age of twenty-five never to be heard from again. What happened to her and how many books did she complete before she vanished?

What will I be streaming in February? Perhaps it will be something romantic or historically significant. You’ll have to read our next issue to find out!

Our February vegetable is zucchini and I’m going for a sweet treat in honor of Valentine’s Day, Chocolate Zucchini Bread.

I encourage you to search our previous January issues for other interesting articles about January and the many events taking place this month.

Remember the omicron and delta variants are still out there. If you haven’t done so, get vaccinated and follow up with a booster. Wear your mask in public and observe social distancing to protect yourself and the most vulnerable members of our population.

Until next month, be safe, be well, you are important, and you are loved.

All my best,

Fran
