We Can Be Together Apart

We Can Be Together Apart

2020… what a roller coaster. United in love, spirit, through adversity and common purpose, values have been what has brought us together in our battle against COVID-19, though it is certain we shall be feeling the impact of this pandemic for decades to come.

With Christmas *already* upon us, my thoughts are drawn to those who are facing the most challenges at the moment. We obviously can’t fix the world, but at least we can do something to help others who need that extra support in our communities right now. If you too are looking ahead and thinking about gifts for Christmas, consider giving some original artwork that will give something back in return.

2020 … beth yw roller coaster. Unedig mewn cariad, ysbryd, trwy adfyd a phwrpas cyffredin, gwerthoedd fu’r hyn sydd wedi dod â ni at ein gilydd yn ein brwydr yn erbyn COVID-19, er ei bod yn sicr y byddwn yn teimlo effaith y pandemig hwn am ddegawdau i ddod.

Gyda’r Nadolig * eisoes * arnom, tynnir fy meddyliau at y rhai sy’n wynebu’r heriau mwyaf ar hyn o bryd. Yn amlwg, ni allwn atgyweirio’r byd, ond o leiaf gallwn wneud rhywbeth i helpu eraill sydd angen y gefnogaeth ychwanegol honno yn ein cymunedau ar hyn o bryd. Os ydych chi hefyd yn edrych ymlaen ac yn meddwl am anrhegion ar gyfer y Nadolig, ystyriwch roi rhywfaint o waith celf gwreiddiol a fydd yn rhoi rhywbeth yn ôl yn ôl.
