It’s the new year and this is normally where I’d spend a while looking back on yearly themes and planning one for 2022, but to be honest, the yearly theme thing has been kinda rough to really consider on pandemic time, and I’m rethinking that. 2021 was deemed The Year of Action for me, in … Continue reading Exploring Yearly Themes
