• The funniest animals on the farm are the guineas and baby goats, which jump like maniacs.
• If we could add any animals to the farm, it would be cows, horses, and peacocks.
• If you want to be happier in 2022, you should skateboard, take a walk, get outside and come see our baby goats.
• Follow our mom on Instagram and you can see 3,000 videos of our baby goats.
• We saw the baby goats being born, and all the moms there were like, “I feel ya, girl. I feel ya!”

The Creator God gave us this beautiful creation, the earth and the sun and the sky ... Just get outside. It can do so much for your emotional and mental health.

This list is a chance for you to think about things and see if there are areas that you might want to improve, grow or change in 2022.

Learn to laugh at yourself. People who take themselves way too seriously tend to have a tougher time rolling with the punches.

Put your phone away. No, seriously. Put it away.

For me, learning more about the Lord and his nature has been life changing, perspective shifting and one of the most impactful things in my life.
