Raise your hand if you’re ready to say hello to 2022! 

This year, thanks to many of you, I published a book . I was interviewed on 3 podcasts  (links in bio); I became a grandparent ‍. And during my first trip to Kentucky I got close to my first tornado! ️ I returned to Seattle where a ton of snow fell ☃️ & we had the coldest day in 31 years.❄️

In 2021 there were simple pleasures like seeing friends for lunch,  meeting new ones, & taking a break from social media.  It was weird how good it felt to step away from Twitter,  IG & more. It made me think how much more productive I was before the iPhone. 

It was wonderful to see @queenhorsfall & our oldest son after a 2-year gap. Meeting our new twin granddaughters—2 tiny, adorable & entertaining people,  was joyful. Our son & daughter-in-law are amazing parents. ‍‍‍ I don’t think I could’ve managed 2 babies at once.

In King County  where Seattle is located, 96% of people aged 16 & older have been vaccinated, so life was feeling pretty “normal” here.  A few friends of friends got mild cases of covid,  but mostly, coronavirus hasn’t been top of mind until very recently. 

Omicron chipped away at the confidence of companies, attendees & exhibitors, & I canceled my trip to CES (Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas ) as a social media influencer. #CES2022 ️ IRL is no longer an option for me, so I’ll attend virtually. ‍

What was the best or worst about 2021 for you?  What do you look forward to in 2022?
