And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: "Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown". And he replied: "Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.” Minnie Louise Haskins

I’m glad to see the back of 2024 as it’s been a difficult one. It was a year when I had to combine my job as manager of the Turas project with finishing the last semester of my degree in Irish and taking over management of our Naíscoil for a few months due to staff illness. 🧵1/3
