Happy New Year Friends! I hope you've been enjoying a loving, restorative and just-the-right-amount of excitement this holiday season. With 2023 upon us, of course I've been thinking back on the past year, lessons learned and key takeaways.
The highlights for me included more travel than I (and likely any of us) have done in quite some time. I relished each sunrise and sunset I was able to experience, whether it was in my own yard, out on a walk or hike, or in beautiful Oia, Santorini, Greece, pictured above on Richard and I's belated 25th anniversary trip from last May. Living in ongoing immense gratitude for each time I saw the sun rise or sleep helped me keep perspective for the days when it felt like everything was going wrong.
Adding to this sense of wonder for me (and probably many of you too) are the images and findings of the
James Webb Telescope, one of which is pictured below. In addition to the stunning images that speak directly to the dreamer, artist and photographer in me - my mind gets blown over and over again by how these images are actually being taken
backwards in time. We're living in 2023 now, but glimpsing the formation of our own universe over a billion years ago. What?! Yes. The science fiction loving kid I was and still am is all over the amazing revelations that keep unfolding with this story of space, humanity and literally, time travel too.
