Happy New Year!!

I hope you all had a wonderful transition into 2023, and that the tail end of 2022 was marvelous! I hope you were bored, and then ignited by inspiration! I sure was. I rested plenty, which was definitely needed after a massive year of training, traveling, racing, and hugging friends and family in real life. Therefore, I am energized and ready to launch into 2023 with the following resolutions/intentions:

Eat fewer chips
Write more fiction
Stop writing and posting my blog every Tuesday.
Call people

“Wait, what?”

Yes, after five amazing years of writing and posting every Tuesday, I am going to break up that schedule, and write and post whenever it feels right/I want to.:)

What started as a challenge in January 2018, writing and posting every week, transformed into an obligation, and one of the most gnawing, yet sincere revelations I have accepted is that I cannot stand doing things out of obligation. I have been stifled by obligations far too many times in my first four decades dancing and breathing on earth, but rather than delivering any sort of satisfaction, they just drain the life out of me.

I love my blog.

I started it in 2012, and am not shuttering it completely, but similar to its early days, I will post whenever inspiration strikes, which might be on a Tuesday, or Saturday, every week, or twice a year, I’m not sure?

And I am okay with that.

Thank you for following along and reading my weekly musings these last five years. I hope to stay in better touch with most of you in 2023, (please see resolution/intention #3 above) and beyond.

The song and video choice this week is one of my favorite songs of all-time. In fact, it is a repeat post, but it hummed as the soundtrack for this memorable five-year chunk of my life, so I want to leave it here in order to be freed up to seek out the next soundtrack. *Please note, it has some adult language. *
