I am crushing it… even though for most of the year I forgot about this list. Seems it was a truly good one to pursue. Here’s how it went: 3 BIG THINGS Kick ass at new job OH YEAH Unfurl this heart Um, actually, yeah … single much of the year but still managing to unfurl…
Grateful.
I was interviewed on a podcast yesterday! It was my first time (not hosting). It was SO much fun. I LOVE MY TEAM so much. The past two days have been long, long workdays. I hurt my knee and was scared it was bad but kind of knew it wasn’t but was still scared because…
LOL I wrote that title on Friday with the best intentions, but we are at Sunday afternoon and I still haven’t published this “regularly-scheduled” gratitude list… Thanks to the friends who immediately picked up the phone and FaceTime/called/texted me upon reading last week’s Feel Angry Friday, and your fierce support.

The day after I published last year’s word, my world was turned upside down. Confidence? A painfully ironic word. But like all things do, this DID turn into a year of confidence, where I was tested well beyond my perceived limits and emerged stronger, happier, and more at peace with myself. Confidence indeed.

Hard to believe Christmas is two days away … it should be a pretty low-key, relaxing holiday for me this year; I’m looking forward to it.
