Today, #PERSEVERED is here. After years of writing, excavating memories, choosing which gaps to acknowledge, learning to hold data and devastation, it's strange and wonderful to let it go. Grateful to everyone who helped bring it to life and those already reading. www.karazivin.com/book

As we say goodbye to 2025 (finally!), thoughts and hopes for 2026: "For last year's words belong to last year's language And next year's words await another voice. And to make an end is to make a beginning." —T.S. Eliot (Little Gidding), Four Quartets"
