Dear Readers,
Can you believe it? We’ve reached December, the final chapter of 2024—a year that seems to have flown by in the blink of an eye. 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—yes, it’s me, Lucia Matuonto! While talking about oneself can be a little daunting, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by the wonderful Pat Backley. Through her thoughtful questions, I’ve been able to share more about my journey, my vision for The Relatable Voice, and the joy of connecting with our listeners, readers and contributors worldwide.
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. If you haven’t seen the movie yet, you can find it on Amazon Prime and other platforms—a perfect watch for this season of love and connection.
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. Your enthusiasm and creativity fuel The Relatable Voice and make it a place where stories come alive.
From all of us here, may your holidays be filled with warmth, laughter, and cherished moments. Here’s to safe travels, joyful celebrations, and new adventures in the coming year!
Happy Holidays!
With love,
Lucia Matuonto
