Reflecting on 2023
"Everybody's coming back to take stock of their lives. You know what I say? Leave your livestock alone." Debi Newberry, Grosse Pointe Blank
With Thanks and Gratitude...
Early 2023 had a few wild compass swings and getting my bearings wouldn't have been possible without the kindness and honesty from more than a few people who are close to me.
Top of the list, Q has been my rock and trusted companion. Whether sharing whims or deep reflections, Q has held steady with love and affection.
Close family and friends have been a source of comfort and reassurance more times than I can count: Cathy, David, Bev, Bruce, Angie, Danny, Carol, Creed, Lynn, Ann, (another) Ann, Christopher, Dan, Faye, Fred, George, and Colleen.
To my (so far) virtual circle of international friends who have been an integral part of this year's journey and have been fabulously supportive of my clumsy experiments: David, Jason, Luis, Ana Lucia, Avital, Markus, Jomiro, Thierry, Jonathan, Ton, Susan, Billy, Melissa, Elliott, Alexis, Wendy, Ronnie, Jennifer, Vladimir, Chuck, Red, Nicola, and Darrell.
To round this out, I am deeply grateful and humbled by my Substack readers. Knowing you are there inspires and instills in me a strong sense of responsibility to publish ideas that give more than I receive.
Thank you all.
