Your personal stories of finding joy in difficult times
Happy New Year!
It’s officially the first newsletter of 2022 and I’m so excited to be joining all our lovely readers for another year.
But before we dive in, I wanted to share a few submissions from last week’s newsletter about your favorite 2021 memories:
“My favorite memory of 2021 – other than the days my family got vaccinated and then boosted – will be the 3 day weekend my business partner and I watched our first event unfold successfully,” writes Deana Sun. “We raised $4,000 for a local charity and that warmed our hearts as well.”
“After moving from D.C. to Florida after a horrible break-up, staying in quarantine with my 79-year-old aunt until we were both vaccinated, we went out one afternoon for tacos. A H.E.R. song started streaming on the ride home, and my aunt knew the artist and started tapping her hand to the music. My 45-year-old self felt a feeling of sincere connection and contentment to have that moment in the car with a loved one after making it through such a rough period,” writes Meka L. Lloyd of Ormond Beach, FL.
