2022 Recap: Acceptance

2022 Recap: Acceptance 2022 was a very mixed bag for me. High highs and super low lows. For many months it felt like we couldn’t catch a break. Isn’t that life, though? We take the bad with the good and do our best with it, even if our best feels completely incompetent. The beginning and […]
