Last year, I decided that my word for 2024 would be experiment. I thought creating 12 experiments or projects in 12 months would be fun.

I love traveling. It's the reason for my existence. I can't imagine not being able to travel.

I'm not ready to start 2024, so here's me keeping 2023 alive for a little longer. Also, I stole this idea from Austin Kleon, and I think you should steal it, too, because it's a fabulous way to remember all the good times of last year.

Well, it's officially the last week of 2023, FUUUUCK! I find it challenging to stay positive during this time of the year.

The author of The Little Book of Hygge and Lykke, Meik Wiking, has written another charming book called The Art of Making Memories. And it's the perfect book to read before the start of the new year.

It's funny the reactions I get when I tell people I swim outside in Winter. Are you crazy? You're not serious, right? I would never do that because I'm susceptible to the cold. No, no, you can't tell me it's fun; that's definitely not my definition of fun!

I've read somewhere that September is actually the best month to set your New Year's resolutions or goals.

I've always had problems with making decisions. Be it big ones, like should I quit my job because it's sucking the life right out of me, or small ones, like where should our next camper trip go to?

Boredom is not a symptom of ADHD, it's a result of not having enough dopamine. Which seriously impacts our ability to stay on task or do things we don't like.

I always go into a reflective mood during the last weeks of the year. And while going through my journals and digital notes, I noticed I started many projects this year.

Lately, I've been focussing solely on the business part of photography. Things like how to grow my audience, how to get more followers on Instagram, and how I can be of service to the world are swirling through my brain.

Over the years, I've started so many projects I lost count. But what I hate about it is that I also quit about 99% of these projects.

In today's fast-paced society, where success is often measured by external factors such as wealth, status, and possessions, it's easy to lose sight of what truly brings us happiness and fulfillment.
