Well, here, I am again, the encore performance of Yoke.
Last year on Day 1, I wrote about all my goals for the year. I've been thinking about my 2022 goals for weeks. I cannot come up with anything revolutionary.
But I know one thing: I will write every, single, day.
Beyond that, I am going to try to:
- Get published, with my byline.
- Develop new writing relationships with other writers and publishers.
- Keep writing about special education, childhood cancer, organ donation and Jesus (you know, light topics)
- Read 60 books.
- Get more people to read Yoke.
The last goal feels heavy to me; but I do want more readers to Yoke. I am still impressed by my small circle of loyal, daily readers. You know who you are and well, I think you have the best taste!
Last year, I just wrote and posted on my personal Facebook page. This year, I am going to put my professional hat on and give Yoke a design facelift, reinvigorate my Facebook page, use my Instagram account and see how far and wide I can share my writing.
I also want to explore my writing voice more. Sometimes, I feel like I lose my voice or that my tone is flat or dull or rote. I worked so hard in 2021 to write frequently; this year I want to write more beautifully about things that are ugly and beautiful.
I also want to dig into my physical health more--create more space to be good to my body, so it can carry me through the next 50+ years.
I do have some stretch goals, like:
- Podcasting: I'd love to have a podcast or be on a podcast.
- Writing 1 book (Can I do it? Maybe?)
- Completing 650 rides on the Peloton (that's 200 for this year!).
- Getting more sleep
- Getting back to yoga and meditation. Maybe teaching again?
Lastly, I've got some awesome things planned, like:
- Two trips to France
- Pearl Jam in London (and time with Nick's godparents in England!)
- Celebrating my kids turning 16, 13 and 10!
2022 will be another great year. I know there will be challenges (there always are); but I confident we will all get through it, together.
Can I subscribe via email?
