2021 was many things for me.

It saw me own my different – talk about “returning to base’. Haha-haha. If you haven’t gotten my book, you should. http://bit.ly/theartofdifferentfree

For the first time in a long time, I willfully protected my peace and happiness.

I was reminded not to fret, not to force anything, anyone. Not even to wish silently for conversations, friendships, love, or attention.

On one hand, I experienced many bouts of happiness, excitement, wonder, intrigue, and even adventure (not something I naturally embrace, but I must confess that I enjoyed every bit).

I forged deeper and more meaningful relationships and had the grace of access. I embraced new learnings, tried things I never would’ve.

And on another hand, I had dozes of pain, frustrations, disappointments, sickness, and loss.

Overall, I am so very grateful for all that the year 2021 brought. You, yes you, are one of its gifts, so thank you.

I am not one to dote on new years, but I recognize phases. I respect times and seasons.

May the year 2022, bring us much happiness and increased fulfillment. I pray this year will be pivotal and that it will absolutely be an extraordinary part of our lives’ story.

May we have the presence of mind and courage to focus only on what’s essential and expedient, so that we will live very fulfilling and truly rewarding lives.

Cheers to us.
