A New Year.

My New Year’s Resolution for 2022 was to write first thing in the morning, 5 days a week, every week for the entire year.

The theme for the writing project was “a life well-lived” (aka this is livin’, haha!) and I made an effort to center much of my day-to-day around exploring this concept - reading, watching, and discussing with loved ones the things that make our time here on Earth more fulfilling and joyful.

To say that it was a rewarding experience would be an understatement:

My eyes were opened to countless interesting ideas.
I faced my fear of showing others my writing.
It provided a healthy emotional outlet.
It drastically improved my clarity of thought.
It deepened my relationships with clients, friends, and family.

It was a special year.

Although I will continue writing in 2023 (and the rest of my life), for now it will be much less formal. I plan on using the early hours of the morning and the liminal spaces in my day to begin working on a few other projects.

So on that note, this is a temporary (!) goodbye to the blog.

I need to thank so many of you for the kind words, comments, analysis, and encouragement of my writing. It really meant so much and also made waking up early a lot easier haha! Many, many thanks.

Have a wonderful New Year and MUCH love to all of you,

Christian
