102: New Year


Here are some end of year reflections.

And a simple goal-setting process.

2021 review

Last year, I wrote some notes-to-self :

  • Invest patiently
  • Honor the caregivers
  • Start, don't wait



My personal 2021 highlight was the arrival of our son. For me, becoming a parent ended up combining these three themes together.

In one cute, squawking little bundle.



The other high point was Fire Jar 100.

It's been a privilege to connect with people and figure out how to sustain an online conversation. From a macro perspective, I firmly believe that email newsletters and personal blogs are more vibrant and relevant today than ever before.

If you're thinking of starting your own, I'd love to support your efforts!

I've found his framework to be helpful.


If you're not sure not to focus on, pause and reflect right now :

What's felt good in 2021?

What do you hope for in 2022?

Where will you put your energy?




Regardless of where this next year evolves, I wish you joy, nimbleness, and agility.



Happy new year!
