Happy New Year!
I hope the new year is starting on a strong, positive note for you. I don’t know about you, but I am happy – ecstatic even – to welcome 2023! It brings a new set of possibilities and potential – an opportunity to set a list of new goals. The start of a new year is also a time to reflect on the past year. I believe my level of enthusiasm for the start of 2023 is a direct response to seeing 2022 come to an end. Last year was a lot for me personally, and I know for many others as well. It was filled with wins and losses, joy and sadness, growth and steps backward. It was a year of hard lessons learned and new developed roads forward.
These statements are true for myself as well as for many others I am close to both personally and professionally. Many years are filled with these same elements. 2022 just felt different for me with deeper emotions and more impactful decisions made. The wonderful part of this…we all kept moving forward. We continued to have hard conversations and be present for the people around us needing a little extra support. We made hard decisions based on believing they would lead us to a more joyful and fulfilling life. In my eyes, 2022 has the title “The One Where We Are Fine”. If you need a further explanation of what “fine” signifies, please feel free to watch this clip from one of the best shows of all time, Friends.
Through all the turmoil faced in 2022, I sit here now with a sense of excitement, focus, and calm confidence. So, no more looking back at 2022 and what could have been. Now, to share a few of my goals for 2023 with you as well as an inside look at some of my favorite moments from 2022.
