1. What are the three most important things you learned this year?
- Out of a big loss can grow an even bigger connection
- Listen to your gut. If it tells you something is over there is no use holding on to it
- Love with all your heart
2. Who has made the biggest impact on you this year?
My soulfriend for keeping me grounded and me myself for standing up for my own needs and wants
3. Who or what inspires you most?
Kind and courageous people who are unapologetically themselves
4. What’s one goal you accomplished this year?
Contentment, something close to serenity or happiness.
5. What can you do today that you didn’t think was possible a year ago?
Speaking my mind openly and showing my integrity and intelligence to everyone (yeah, it sounds conceited)
6. What achievement in 2022 are you most proud of?
- Job changes (in May and in August)
- Maintaining friendships through thick and thin and good and bad
- Everything I did for myself
7. What is one habit you would like to change?
Taking work too seriously and saying yes to commitments when I actually mean no
8. How do you maintain balance in your life?
I don’t? There is no balance in my life at all.
9. What were your career highlights this year?
I changed jobs a couple of times this year and I am happy to say that I am quite content to be back working with kids. The former two jobs were very interesting and very important, but not for me. So, a highlight was admitting to let go of everyone else’s expectations and following my own path
10. What excites you about the future?
Life. Love. Deep connections; deeper than love or friendships. Also, turning 40 – I am looking forward to that.
11. What was the most challenging part of this year for me?
Letting go of things that weren’t meant for me
12. Knowing what you know now, what advice would you give to yourself at the start of 2022?
Don’t force it. Everything will fall into place. Take the opportunities offered to you, it will be worth it.
13. What are my most important goals for next year?
- No goals, just going with the flow again
14. What is something that was hard early in the year that’s easier now?
Asking for help and admitting that I can’t get things done without any help.
15. What did you learn about yourself this year that surprised you?
I am more messed up than I thought I am, but I am also a lot more loveable. I am an interesting, intriguing woman, apparently, and the fact that I don’t bend over backwards to make anyone like me seems to appeal to many people too. (Or so I am told.)

I did this in 2020 (I think) for the first time and forgot about it in later times, but here I am recycling old posts. Most replies changed, some didn’t
