It’s the last day of the year and I’m sitting here, sipping my morning coffee with a big smile on my face. Like so many, I am looking back on the year and thinking about all the amazing moments of this crazy, rollercoaster ride that 2022 turned out to be.
Immensely grateful for what has been and inspired by the Instagram tradition of #TopNine – a repost of your most popular images of the year – I thought I’ll dive a bit deeper to celebrate YOU, my awesome audience, and all the support you have shown!

1) Let’s Get Festive | SOOC Season 02 Episode 10…. because it was such a different show with so many firsts and we got to celebrate YOU, our fabulous audience.
I’m left standing (well, sitting actually) in front of you in awe and filled with nothing but gratitude for your support throughout the year. And now – if you’re feeling as nostalgic as me, I invite you to go back and read the posts and watch the shows of 2022 that made my year so very special.
As for me – I’m going to go now and jump into my first project of 2023 (stay tuned!!!) and everything else that’s planned for the new year!
Have a peaceful last day of 2022 and a wonderful start to 2023! May the New Year treat you kindly and hold everything you wish for! I can’t wait to find out what the next year will bring and I look forward to many hours of connecting with you!
LET’S DO THIS!
