2023 – My Year in Review

Despite my 14 month exodus from the socials ( IG, tiktok, and FB) and almost 24 months with out writing a single blog post, I was astounded when I got my “year in review” from WordPress. This automated email notification told me that my poor little page got 231 visits this year. With 0 online presence, 231 visitors still made their way to my blog. I don’t think I am ready to get back on to the socials yet, but I figured writing this blog would be a good first baby step. 

This last year has been difficult, lonely, and at times, very dark. I also had the most fun and laughed the most I have in the last few years. Some ridiculous bullshit happened and some good stuff happened too, but these are my highlights:

1. Stayed off social media all 2023 
2. Read some books, and a few really good ones 
3. Finally got my Trademark approved for The Doula of Fun 
4. Took a sound healing course and made a good dent in my Yoga Teacher Training course 
5. TATTOO’s 
6. Grew 33 POUNDS of food and grew food all 12 months of the year for the 3rd year in a row! 
7. Failed, and, failed, and failed at trying to grow mushrooms (but I’m still trying) 
8. Swam in lakes, rivers, and creeks 
9. Danced all night on my birthday, AT A BAR with other humans that I love *Shrieks* 
10. Stood up for myself and others 
11. Put myself first 

Next year I am hoping for more of the same, and new adventures as well. If you are reading because you got a notification, thank you for being a subscriber, expect more blog content next year. If you are here just to check in, thank you for thinking of me. 

All my love, 

Austin
