Last year was a good year; I accomplished most of my goals.
I gave my first podcast interviews, one on Beyond Your Past and another on
The Magic Happens.
Two of my articles about life with Dissociative Identity Disorder are published on Surviving my Past.
I had an amazing collaboration with Teagan Guinevere that stretched my imagination and broadened my skills in graphic design and video.
Teagan wrote a story each week based on the three ‘things’ I gave her the week before.
I used VR to make the illustrations and a weekly video.
This is Gramps and Lulu from Hullaba Lulu on Teagan’s Books.
Through my collaboration with Teagan, I met interesting new bloggers and discovered a thriving community of supportive and gifted writers and
artists.
Offline, I reconnected with an old friend who now lives in Vancouver.
We visited in July; he returned some old books and writings I thought
I’d lost when we moved from Hawaii to San Francisco in the 1980.
I felt like I was greeting long-lost family when I held a few of those old books.
In private life, I’m in better mental health despite the triggers and stress of
living under a political regime that feels like an abusive family.
Yet, life must go on.
Here is a short list of goals to achieve within the next 12 Months:
- Select and edit the work for a book of poetry.
-
Learn about self-publishing.
-
Publish the book of poems.
-
Broaden my knowledge of video.
-
Explore the idea a part-time job with my shrink.
-
Make my daily walk a daily walk.
-
Retain an attitude of gratitude.
My partner and I took pictures of each other on our anniversary this year.
This year marked our 29th.
He’s asked me not to post his photo, so here’s mine:
Happy New Year to my WordPress peeps! Hey Laurel! 🙂
Let’s close with something fun! 🙂
I’ll be mostly off until the end of the holidays.
What are your resolutions?
