Episode 050. This morning a lady at the gym told me something about her 2022 that sparked this reflection to share. From our brief conversation we exchanged the most heartfelt happy new year wishes I might've ever experienced with a stranger!

I'm here on the last day of the year to say in this Shortycast, I wish you a blessed new year!

It’s been known that when people experience a difficult year they breathe a huge sigh of relief when that number is no longer on the calendar. If you've had a bad 2022, let's all breathe a sigh of relief together.   The changing of that number on that yearly date draws a veil of sorts over whatever the year before held and allows us fresh eyes and new horizons. 

Midnight tonight is not a magic wand, but it does mark a fresh start. We can start fresh whenever we want to. Any moment of any given day can be a New Years countdown, a kiss of celebration, or a moment of new beginnings.

So, I wish you the very best New Year, that 2023 would be a new exciting adventure, life-changing experiences and deeper friendships/relationships, and more discovery of life purpose.

 Onwards and upwards my friend, with no regrets! Happy 2023!

Episode 049. It's that reflection time of year when we look back and reckon with the last 365 days. I decided to make a list of what worked (inspired by Emily P. Freeman of the Next Right Thing Podcast). 

In my list of 10 things that worked for 2022 you'll hear:

•  what I've worn 300 days out of the year
• in what way I owe my body shape to Ed Sheeran
• what makes me feel like I'm dating my husband again
• a time management process that changed my world
• the way I spend my weekends
• the book I can't put down
• the app that brought me success

...AND in this episode I'll share with you how I failed this year, because our failures are worth reckoning with and learning from.
