Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards. —Søren Kierkegaard

Hello dear reader. I hope you're finding a gentle landing spot in this new year.

Longtime blog readers may recall my “weeks in review” turned “months in review” turned "season in review" over the years. Now there's an annual Year in Review.

This reflection exercise allows me to stay accountable, set and review goals, celebrate, and note what needs adjustment.

Below is a list of my year’s experiences in no particular order. There's also a brief reflection and resources to support us moving into the new year.

To compile this information I reviewed my planner, monthly dreams, birthday exercise (here's mine from 2021), goodreads app, ballet class platforms, and photos. Needless to say, it's a process!

Consider your own 2023 list. Look for patterns, wins, challenges, boundaries, and those sweet moments in between. Although this year may have been challenging, you may just rediscover some gems when you compile your own Year in Review.

Oh, and here's an Instagram reel with heaps of photos from 2023.

Year's Experiences Top 10

Hosted 30+ Coterie events including an in-person tea party Won 1st place for Les Sylphides in the International Adult Ballet Festival's Beginner Classical Category (more photos and Instagram reel) Turned 50! Celebrated Gizmo's 16th birthday with a DC staycationFeatured as Ms. December in a ballet calendar Made simplification shifts (clothing line example) Traveled to Paris twice (here's one trip and another)Released the TDJ balletcore collection Created Tranquility Salon monthly membership Revealed my new book's cover (now I need to write it!)
