Every day is a new opportunity to grow. None of us need January 1st as an excuse to decide to be a better person, but if you are someone who benefits from resolutions I pray you leave negativity, hatred and judgement behind and take care, compassion and understanding forward into the new year. You can be better if you want to be. 2022 was another rollercoaster for me, but that’s life. I had some lows and some . I swore into @mpc705 and worked on a huge. ever met and made some incredible new friends (looking at you @robertritterstudio @emily_norine @palmacosta @_betweentheseams_) I fulfilled a lifelong dream and bathed in the energy of Stonehenge with my partner in crime Alpha Wolf and beloved friends @bethhamptonart and Oglington while visiting some of my favorite people across the pond @dexbonus @iambermudarhombus @gmmoley I finally visited the motherland of Ireland and soaked up all the magick she had to offer, recharging my soul and connecting to my ancestors. I visited Seattle for the first time with my babe @summoplex for @emeraldcitycomiccon thanks to largemetallicfellow sparking a new passion for attending out of state cons that I can’t wait to extend into 2023. I returned to the SoCal con scene as an attendee for the first time since 2019 with my love @its_allykatt debuting the one new costume I made in 2022. And I rounded out my year going big for my birthday. I visited my favorite spot in SoCal (Solvang) along with my third stay at my obsession @thevicklosalamos where I ate my heart out and went horseback riding @syvhorsebackrides for the first time since I left Texas. I took my daemon Alameda along to my first @stfoodcinema screening of Muppet Christmas Carol. And to round it all out I adopted Hey Spyro from @misselliehoneybee backyard and spent my holidays bonding with him at home. As I look back on 2022 I have no regrets. I went into the year with an open mind and an open heart and I learned and grew and changed and I look forward to doing it again in 2023. Who knows what the future holds but I know it can be bright if I let it https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm5ClE0vmdD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
