The smile was only the beginning
This is the Carrie Fisher I knew, which is to say I never knew her.
She had a substantial contribution to the creation of characters that were part of the magic of movies which my younger brother and I enjoyed. I never crushed on Carrie fisher or Princess Leia. My heart was already divided between Tina Turner and Yvonne Craig. I loved Star Wars, and I greatly admired the courage and humour of Carrie Fisher, the author, and the woman. She struggled and she lived fiercely, on her terms. The world has lost a fighter, an actress, a writer, a comedian and an advocate for mental health. I have nothing to add but my admiration for the choices she made. Thank You, Carrie Fisher, for your smile and your courage.

Happy New Year everyone.
Please make it a good year. Be kind for the sake of kindness.
Be good for the sake of goodness.
Be honest, be careful, be fair, and be prepared to say sorry.
Be unafraid to make mistakes, but prepared to learn from them.
Be good to yourselves for the sake of everyone who loves you.
