Saying Goodbye To 2022

A road that has some trees on it

Well, here we are in the final weeks of 2022. To say this year went by in a flash is an understatement. I realize, the older I get, the faster the days fly by. The only takeaway from that is that I “really” need to be diligent in being in the moment. I want to spend as much time with my family and friends as possible and be thankful for the time I do get to spend with them.

All that being said, 2022 was a great year, full of new experiences and goals reached. This year I concluded my energy practice by receiving my Reiki Master certification as well as my mindfulness and coaching training and I completed building my new website. I think the website was the most challenging as I’m as untechy as they come. But I stuck to it and figured it out, and that made me pretty proud of myself. Sometimes you don’t realize how much you’ve accomplished until you write it down. I urge you to write your year-end review and give yourself a pat on the back. I’m sure you’ve accomplished a lot more than you realize.

The most satisfying aspect of 2022, has been meeting new people on social media who reach out for insight and motivation in setting and achieving their goals. I absolutely love helping people through their struggles with stagnation, motivation, and goal setting. I’ve truly found what I’m meant to do. I couldn’t ask for more than that.

Lastly, I moved to another city, which was pretty scary. Turns out, country living is pretty special. I’m really enjoying all the outdoor space we have and the nature we are smack dab in the middle of now.

Nature is so healing and important to our well-being. If you live in the city, I urge you to visit a park or get out in nature as often as possible. It’s a game-changer. As with anything, there is a downside. The coyotes are prevalent out here, so I won’t be getting any small pets any time soon. The upside is it feels like I’m in the middle of the forest at times, the sunsets are incredible and the people are extremely friendly!

And while a lot of people don’t look forward to the new year beginning, I’m quite the opposite. I remember years past, I used to love buying a new day planner. It was so thrilling for me…very old school, I know. And, no, I don’t buy those anymore; I use my computer and my phone like most people. But you get the idea. For me, there’s nothing like a clean slate to fill in with places I want to see and goals I want to achieve. It’s a big world out there, and this year my husband and I are going to be seeing a lot of it.

So as we close this year and get ready for the upcoming holidays, I wish you all a happy holiday season with your family and friends. No matter what holiday you celebrate, I hope you stay in the moment, don’t get hung up on the minutiae, and enjoy whomever you are so lucky enough to spend time with … because that’s the real gift!

Peace & Love
