Hard to believe that 2022 is coming to an end. There were bright moments, and there were sad ones – as is true for anyone, I imagine. It wasn’t as good as I would have hoped for, but it’s certainly better than it could have been. December has been trending up and I’m looking forward to a positive start to 2023. I’m incredibly fortunate, and so it’s important to focus on the blessings as much as possible (we’re all human after all!)

Life is full of surprises in every direction. 2021 was heartbreaking. An unimaginable loss that still stays with me. This year was recovery, but not always as smooth as I’d like. I’ve learned that since we can’t change anything that’s already happened, we need to try to focus on what lies ahead. Building a future for ourselves that gives us hope and happiness. Letting go of the things that caused us pain and heartache. Forgiving, even when it’s not easy. Loving, even when you don’t like. Committing, even when you feel like letting go. Laughing, even when you feel like crying. Moving forward, even when you want to stay in place.

Here’s to new beginnings and a brighter, lighter year for all of us. Happy New Year and cheers to 2023!
