I want to take a moment to look back at 2022. For me, 2020 and 2021 were pretty incredible
years (despite the pandemic), yet 2022 far surpassed them.
Though, 2022 did
not start on a good note at all. First I
was sick the beginning of the year, and then I had a window smashed in each
vehicle the first week of January. After
that rocky patch, things improved, and I was guided by my theme for the year
which was to ‘Just Show Up.”
In 2022, there were
some activities and events I expected, such as:
• the 20th
Anniversary of the Chautauqua
• my first ever
solo art exhibition at the Corridor Gallery in
• started putting
gravel around my labyrinth path
• publishing two
more inspirational card decks - May I & Bitter TEA
• completing my 1,000th
sky drawing on Oct. 5
• biking 577 total
kms from Mar. till the snow arrived Nov. 1
However, it was the
many opportunities that came my way, that I didn’t expect, that made the year
so amazing. Such as:
• 2nd solo art
show at the
• Voice of the
Muse 4-month album program that led to my first ever album released Oct. 23,
plus a book launch
• publishing a
monthly Artist Newsletter (huge thank you to my subscribers)
• completed Reiki
Level 1, Level 2 and Masters
• started an 8-month
online Yoga Teacher Training in October
• took the Pattern Design Academy Sept 30 - Nov 21 and created loads of patterns as I learnt the process
And that is just the highlights of my year. While I don’t know everything 2023 holds in store, I’m sure it will be a great year. Happy 2023!
