Another year! Oh my! 2022 is almost over! It’s been a while since I have written here, but with a new year comes a new blog. I hope you will join me on this journey.
It’s amazing that I am writing about 2022 coming to an end. The year flew by, yet also stood still. What a year of accomplishments, joys and heartbreaks. Our family had some real gains and some real losses, like everyone else I guess. Ella grew, I got more wrinkles, Jason, well…he pretty much stayed the same. Our Farm Community expanded beyond our envisioning. We lost a few of our tribe and for that we are deeply saddened.
What brings me back to the blog? I have an inner critic, like everyone else. Most of the time she sassily shouts: “Who the (enter your favorite expletive here) do you think you are?” when I start thinking about writing the book that has been swirling around in my head. In planning for 2023, my first order of business is to quell my inner critic- her voice needs to radiate “Look what you just did!”. So, in order to do so, I have created some pretty big, audacious goals that I am hoping this blogging adventure will help me with. So, you will have some more blogs to look forward to in the new year!
I am deeply curious about how humans keep themselves and their communities well. I have been reading and thinking about the intersections between life, personal and professional with wellness. I am curious about nature’s impact on health and wellness, about crafting and side hobbies impact on wellness, about how community and socialization helps with not only personal wellness but also the wellness of the community. There are so many things to think about, write about and talk about! I am hoping to do that here and hoping you will join me. Critique me. Talk to me in the comments about what works for you and what doesn’t. There are so many ways we can help each other be well and be happy. I am looking forward to this journey with you! Thank you for being here with me!
