7. Listen to my friends. I feel like I’ve come a long way! Quickly apologizing helped me keep getting closer to a dear, newish friend. A longtime friend reached out to ask me to coach him, and I asked if we could coach each other instead! That was one of the most fun, meaningful, and productive connections of this year or any year—I’m so glad I thought to make the coaching reciprocal!
But, a couple of friendships ran their course. Is that
okay? Probably! It’s sad to let things go, but it’s also refreshing to realize
that just as people get to stopping points with me, I can get to stopping
points with them, too.
Anyway, I think I’m still a crappy friend sometimes,
but I’ve made progress!
8. Malcolm Kenyatta for Senate: Volunteer twice per
month. I could’ve done a lot more for Malcolm, but his campaign meant so
much to me! I gave him a painting! I got interviewed for a documentary about
him while stapling flowers to a piece of street art! I love Malcolm, and I’m sure
I’ll have plenty of opportunities to nag people about this fave in the future!
9. Grow and save money every day. I was SO on
my way to this one until I ran my mouth at that meet and greet—it’s hard not to
think of my Mighty Writers ending as self-sabotage, though I’m not sure how I would
have done it differently! (Except to have NOT GONE TO THE MEET AND GREET—what a
weird and not-cute lesson to have learned!)
Dear money, I really do love you. Maybe I’ll figure
out in 2023 how to get and keep you.
10. 1-2 hours of accounting weekly. It was more
like an hour a month, I’m sorry to say! See #3 and #9. Accounting needs more
love in 2023 for sure!
