For 13 years or so I have mapped out the things I wanted to accomplish by the end of the new year. I have found that writing out my goals and releasing them publicly helps me stick to my plan. It also is nice to reflect on where I was a year ago.

Often, I find that my areas of focus change which reminds me of the journey that I endured over the past 365 or 366 days.

2022 was a good year for me. I had some major wins, knocked down some big goals, and surprised myself in a few ways. Now on to 2023.
