I’ll ignoring emails from December 22 to January 8. Taking a much needed break after an extra full season.
I always think I’ll have more time at the end of year to put together things like an end of year wrap, but it never seems to work out for me.
I never take my years for granted. I think every year that I get to experience life while doing what I love, is so incredibly special. Not everyone gets to do what they love for work, in fact - most don’t. On top of my amazing clients I also got to spend a month in Europe with my loving boyfriend, I got to travel and compete with my dog and I became close with friends who really fill my cup. I love 2023, because I think it was the start of a new chapter for me.
But at the same time, it was difficult. As with many of my small business friends, this year felt apprehensive. The economic struggle of the world seemed to teeter on our shoulders. For the first time I had projects being cancelled. I had months without bookings. This year I had doubts and imposter syndrome. I felt tired and burnt out from the stress. That’s something my mind is still warring with. I know many of you have felt that this year, and I hope you can take solace in the fact that it’s not you.
As 2024 comes around, I welcome opportunity. Give me more bucket list projects, let me help my client’s dreams come true and let there be way more dogs.
Happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year!
