Posting up my favourite sketch from 2022 where I felt the greatest achievement in terms of creating a sense of volume I’ve often struggled with and doing so without getting overly fussy. There’s plenty wrong with it but nevertheless it felt like a step forward.

My goal for 2023 is to push this onward and try to make more pictures that retain that volume and weight and realism.

#2022Reflections
2022 had a lot of ups and downs, but was a net win. There were many #health setbacks, but things have overall improved. I did a lot of #ArtsAndCrafts. I ran a lot of #Pathfinder2e. I improved my social life and enjoyed quality time with my husband and #cat.
The only thing I'm not satisfied with is my #work performance. I did better than the 2.5 years prior, but not well enough for my liking. I'm hoping my improvements in health and outlook help me take it the rest of the way.

I've spent a lot of time watching leaves fall into creeks, and some of them are swept away immediately. Some of them get stuck in branches and rocks or sink and go nowhere. Some of them just seem to sit still on the surface and not move at all, barely swayed by the ripples and eddies around them.

Oh man nothing puts me in holiday spirits quite like putting the finishing touches on our family year-end letter which I'm sure no one reads. It's one of the few times I use the printer. #WarmFuzzies #Solstice #2022reflections #HolidayCards

Also 2022 geht nun langsam zu Ende und ich weiß nicht wie es euch geht, aber in 2023 müssen wir dringend was gegen Umweltverschmutzung, Klimawandel, Nazis, Konservativ die immer mehr mit Nazis kuscheln, Millionäre und Milliardäre, Armut, Kapitalismus, Narzissten und Egoisten tun! Und ich mein so RICHTIG! So wie wir bis jetzt gegen diese Sachen vorgegangen sind reicht es eindeutig nicht! Wir müssen vieles echt anders machen! #2022reflections #KlimawandelKlima #FuckElonMusk #fucknazis #2023

This year brought out the best of us and the worst of us. Grateful for the leaders who committed to more equitable workplaces and who are still doing the work. Yay, you! #wearethewaymakers #betheway #2022reflections #leadership #equity #inclusion

Managing a team means I can only accomplish goals by regularly asking for help, something I’ve historically been terrible at (both professionally and personally).

Nothing has done more for my growth in this area. #2022reflections #gratitude
