Last week I looked back on my 22 in 22 list and this week it’s time to look forward to 2023. This ‘in-between’ week is one of my favorite times of year. Things are still *mostly* shutdown and there is an accepted “anything goes” mentality in the air. Dessert after breakfast is considered normal. Workouts are delayed in favor of one more cup of…

In 2020, I made a list of 20 things to do and in 2021, I made a list of 21 things to do. At the beginning of this year, I introduced my 22 in 2022 list. In re-reading what…

As one of the items on my 22 in 2022 list, I’m writing a quick recap at the end of each month with 10 things to remember. I can’t believe today’s recap is for the second-to-last month in 2022!
