To mark this special occasion, we took a virtual road trip to Texas, where we had the pleasure of chatting with the talented actors Kenneth Bradley and Patricia Zamora, whose work continues to inspire.

In this issue, Dr. Roxane Daleo offers valuable wisdom on how to use our energy wisely in the year ahead, and Jackie Kopito shares the heartwarming story of Wesley, a pet who changed her life in unexpected ways.

Dear Readers, 
December is always a time for reflection, celebration, and anticipation of what lies ahead. And this issue of The Relatable Voice Magazine captures that spirit perfectly, filled with inspiration, creativity, and a touch of holiday magic.
This month, I have the unique honor of gracing the cover myself. While talking about oneself can be a little daunting, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by the wonderful Pat Backley. 
Keeping the festive spirit alive, this issue also features a captivating interview with Dr. Kamran Qureshi and Matt Kenny, the talented director and actor behind the poignant film Only Love Matters. It was such a joy meeting them in London and delving into their creative process. 
In addition to these stories, our contributors have outdone themselves with heartwarming articles celebrating Christmas traditions, festive tales, and thoughtful reflections. Longtime friends of the magazine—Vivien Schapera, Leland Mergillano, Carlos Miguel, Aleksandra Tryniecka, Mandy Eve-Barrett, and many more—have shared their unique voices, making this issue a treasure trove of inspiration.
For those bitten by the travel bug, don’t miss our feature on Egypt! Its stunning stories and images might just inspire your next great adventure. And let’s not forget our furry friends—this December, we highlight Holiday Season Pet Safety Awareness Month with pieces dedicated to celebrating and caring for the animals that bring so much joy to our lives.
As we close this chapter and prepare for 2025, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to our readers, contributors, and supporters. 
From all of us here, may your holidays be filled with warmth, laughter, and cherished moments.
Happy Holidays!

Ricardo is not only an accomplished author but also a skilled marketer and co-founder of Reedsy, a company that offers invaluable services to authors by connecting them with experienced professionals, ensuring the creation of stunning books.
