I’m not sure about you but I am SO happy that 2022 is over. It ranks right up there as one of my least favorite years in life.

I struggled through real estate for another year. Was it a mistake? Maybe? I really loved my YouTube channel and other socials. I really loved the clients that came to me through my socials. But I really hated that actual business of real estate. It was soul sucking. I ended up at two more brokerages bringing me through a total of four in the little over two years I had my license. It wasn’t them it was me.

I can’t even begin to tell you how relieved I was to sign the back of my license to inactivate it. Whew! Glad I tried it but oh so glad it’s over.

I also launched my online marshmallow business in October. After working on the techniques, flavors, etc. for over a year, the state of Arkansas changed their food laws and I was finally able to sell the marshmallows in an online shop. It was fun. Sort of. While I love making marshmallows, I didn’t enjoy the actual business of selling them. I learned that I’d rather gift marshmallows than sell them.

Again, one more thing I’m glad I tried but am oh so happy it’s over.

So now what? 2023 is here and my life is wide open for new opportunities. I have a couple of things I’m working on. Picking up blogging again is one of them.

January is World Carnivore Month and I’m fully onboard with that. I have been a carnivore for several years now. The marshmallows totally got in the way of that because I felt like I couldn’t sell something I hadn’t tasted. I’m feeling so much better to have the sugar out of my system!

It’s been fun to learn how to take care of the cows and the chickens. Who’d have ever guessed those words would come out of my fingers?!?! I actually got to hold my fluffy chicken, Fe. A couple of times! Someday, I’m going to hold Frannie, too, but she’s a swift complainer. LOL! I haven’t caught her yet.

I look forward to what this year holds for me and am excited about the future. I wish you a terrific year, too!
