My 2021 calendar, solitudine e misterodi, is Italian for solitude and mystery. It’s my attempt to embrace the lessons of 2020, and the relentless unknowns of living through a global pandemic. Instead of feeling lonely and agitated by quarantines every waking moment, this is an invitation to make a bit of space in our minds for the peace of solitude and the possibilities (however tiny) in the mystery of not knowing and being unable to plan our lives the way we are used to doing. Life happens while we are busy making plans, as they say.

My calendar can be placed on your wall or on your desk, and the images may be saved and framed as wall art after the month is done. I recommend gold binder clips at the top and hung from a simple nail as an easy way to display the calendar.

A NOTE: I lowered the price a bit this year and shipping is included (choose calendar). All proceeds after costs will be donated to Feeding America. It’s tragic that when the U.S. stock market is at an all-time high, the food lines are longer than ever.

Thank you for helping me support my local printer every year, especially this year. Anders Printing has been serving Portland since 1946. Creating this calendar every year is a beloved tradition and a way to reflect on my year, while curating a beautiful companion for you for the new year.
