Looking back on 2024: a year of change

You know how we all say we'll do a year-end reflection, but it usually gets pushed back? Well, this time, I actually got it done quickly - just an hour!
 
Taking time to reflect feels like catching up with an old friend - it helps me appreciate all the big moments, tough spots, and growth along the way. Here's what made 2024 special:
 
The Big Stuff
 
Retiring was huge! It happened so fast - I was running global workshops right until the end, barely having any time to say proper goodbyes. But wow, the moment I stepped away? There was such a sense of freedom. It felt like putting down a backpack I didn't even know I was carrying. Now can explore my creative side without constraints.
 
One of my proudest developments was getting my confidence back with Talkshow Rivals. The project had me doubting myself for a while, but working with amazing people like Amol, Sara, Sarah, and Craig helped me believe in it again.
 
And speaking of Sara - watching her start a job at the German Space Agency was absolutely incredible. Though I can't take any credit, seeing her step into space security just fills me with joy.
 
Dreams for 2025
  1. Finally getting Talkshow Rivals from my head to the screen - selling the script would be amazing
  2. Doing steady and interesting work as a content developer and ghostwriter
  3. Going on an incredible sea voyage (best retirement gift ever!) from Australia to Singapore on a bulk carrier
  4. Publishing my Tornado Anna children's book with Josi's beautiful illustrations
Looking back, 2024 was all about transitions - letting go of the familiar and embracing new adventures.
