2023: the year of balance

December 27, 2023November 16, 2024 Katie

It’s that reflective end of year time and the word that comes to me for 2023 is balance, or more accurately how I’ve been attempting to feel balanced throughout the year. I came out of 2022 feeling pretty darn exhausted … Continue reading 2023: the year of balance
