Goals for 2022
I’ve decided to take on 2022 in new and adventurous ways. I’ve already been mapping out how to make it all come to life that I’m excited to share with you so you can be a part of it all.
My goals for the 2022 are to:
- bring in the new year with excitement and happy anticipation
- enjoy the precious family time we have together throughout the year
- work together with my new art mates to create a rad community space
- create more joyful art to share with the world
- play more with outdoor adventures in bike & backpacking, road biking, and trail running
- have some mini adventures with hubby, girls, & girlfriends
- fill my well with art, family, friends, laughter and good times!
