Hey Chrissy, you did pretty spectacularly considering all the roadblocks 2021 threw up. Found you in my Substack Go writers' directory and I'm happy I did. I just turned 40, we have some common goals, and my word of the year is twofold: TRUST and SOAR.
Just found you through the roll call thread as well, and love your optimism and goals for the future! My theme or word of the year, I suppose, is consistency. I write micros, so looking forward to your posts
Consistency is a great word! It's never been my "official" word but it's the concept that has brought me the most success and joy. A little bit on a regular basis - nothing beats it!
I'm enjoying your newsletter; congrats on 2021 accomplishments. Contact me or read my book if you'd like to add running to your health/wellness for 2022! I'm a running coach who specializes in helping late-blooming athletes discover running and uncover their athletic potential. As for 40th bday trip suggestions -- my suggestion has more to do with the type of travel and less about the destination. Try to take off significant time to travel nomadically with minimal stuff and a low budget. It really is about the journey, not the destination. My husband and I did that with our two kids when I turned 40; we ended up traveling around the world with one bag each, living cheap and roadschooling the kids. It was a life-altering experience that ultimately led to career changes. I'm 52 now and still look back on that as the best year of our lives.
Thanks, Sarah! I used to be an avid runner, but after a pretty serious ankle sprain, I've mostly retired from the sport. I love the idea of a traveling the world with minimal stuff and a low budget - maybe one day!
So good to have you, Sarah! I'm not a mother, but I do work in corporate America, so I understand your struggle to stay connected to your creative side. I hope my little newsletter can help!

Pleased to meet you!
Hey Deepa! Thanks for the kind comment. :) I love trust and soar as words for the year! I may keep those in my back pocket for 2023.
