As I wind down on 2023, a question popped into my mind: what am I grateful for and what do I want for the future?
So as I take stock of my wins and intentions, one of this is to start writing and perhaps even speaking. I’ve been quiet on here for 8 years. Most of my posts are on social, where my circle (obviously) knows me. Sometimes, I feel the need to muse and rant – and not subject my friends to my nonsense. This blog used to be where I would post DIY projects, but I don’t do that very much any more. In the spirit of it not needing to be perfect, and as a start, this is a great place to write, then building to something more.
So, I’m back. Did you miss me? I resolve to write on here, at least once a month, and whenever I have a topic.
These are some highlights from my year. What were yours?
- Read (listened to) a bunch of books
- In a cruel twist of fate, and despite not physically reading these books, found that I now need reading glasses.
- Visited and ate my way through 11 countries, mixed between work and play
- Climbed Mount Kinabalu
- Saw the Terracotta Warriors
- Did a bike ride in Batam
- Visited Bangkok with a new bunch of friends. Twice!
- Learned how to snowboard
- Walked someone down the aisle.
- Bought a new bike
It didn’t feel like it at times, but it has been a stonking year. It is important to be mindful that the highly curated and edited images of other people’s lives on social is just what they want you to see. They’ve had their dark moments too.
I’m going to call 2023 a win. Now, what do I intend for next year?
- Write (this is that start!)
- Speak
- Start a business. Perhaps coaching?
Drop me ideas. Because of the spam bots, all comments are sequestered for review. As we move forward, I’ll find my way to a solution.
