Here we are at the end of a year and beginning of a new one! I thought I would share some of my favorite things from my various experiences in 2022 from content I consumed to products and services that I enjoyed, to offer them as inspiration. 2022 has had its fair share of ups and downs for me, and these outlets have offered enrichment, nourishment, joy, education, and intrigue to me throughout the year. I hope you enjoy the list and perhaps even try out a few of the things on it (do let me know if and when you do! :)
