Similar to Easter 2020, this year Easter 2021 will also be a memorable one for many reasons. Religious celebrations will likely be held online rather than in churches, Easter eggs will be hunted for inside the house or in your own backyard, rather than with friends in the park, relatives sharing Easter dinner via Zoom. Sounds familiar...deja vu?

It's been a difficult year, but may this Easter bring renewed hope and strength for everyone to get through this pandemic. Here are some small blooms below that welcomed me yesterday morning when I got out of bed. They brought a smile to my face instantly.  

Hopeful Easter 2021May Easter 2021 bring renewed hope and strength to help us through the COVID-19 pandemic, and bring the world to renewal.

I would like to offer heartfelt thanks to all the healthcare workers who continue tirelessly with this battle, and those who work in essential services to keep our cities running. I am grateful for my relatives and friends who have connected with and supported me during this time. To show my gratitude, here's another design to offer hope and thanks. It's based on a doodle sketch that I made years ago - I just discovered my small notebook filled with such gems.

Although it's not really the time to have a big celebration, I did make an Easter dish filled with spring flavours - a seafood pasta with scallops and smoked salmon, portabello mushroom and white asparagus, with a good sprinkling of dill to enhance the taste. I hope you'll enjoy your Easter meal, giving thanks for food on the table.

As it is a challenging time for many families who have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, whether physically, financially, or emotionally, let us keep them in our thoughts. On this day which symbolizes rebirth, may it bring renewed energy and strength to all. 
 

Wishing peace and hope for everyone around the world on this Easter day!
