Happy New Year!

I’m quietly slipping into 2023 this year.  The last few years I’ve shared reflections and goals, or tried to set a tone or mindset I wanted to enter the new year with.  Then there are some years, when I’ve said I wasn’t going to make proclamations one way or another, even then, to myself in my heart, I would say prayers and hold tight to hopes or new focuses - at least choose a word for myself for the coming year.  Not this year.  This year I am starting on empty, in more ways than one.  I’ve tried hard to let go of all ideas or expectations for the coming year.  A clean slate.  I may have lost count of how many times, just in the past 13 hours already, I’ve had to meditate myself back to my center of zero expectation.

I do hope to write more regularly in 2023.  I’d like to introduce different styles of writing here on this site.   I would love your comments, stories and feedback through my contact page!!  I also still have a life-long bucket list item to write a book and had the start of a great one last year, maybe that can be back on the table for this year.  For now, I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to check in on my web page, from all over my home state, as well as across the United States – 19 different states including multiple check ins from Florida, Nevada, Ohio, Utah.   I even had readers from Canada, France and Puerto Rico!  To my most dedicated of readers, who checked in daily for new posts, I appreciate your support.  And thank you to everyone who reached out to engage in discussion and encouragement, it has made this little adventure fulfilling and worthwhile.

Here’s to a hopefully laid-back year filled with love and laughter!  Happy 2023, friends!
