2023, do you believe it? Besides getting used to writing the date correctly, I dare say most of us are already settling into the rhythm of a new year. Those lofty expectations, grand resolutions and dreams to not repeat the steps that brought us here. There are no magic tips we have to share, save for the wise words of James Clear, author of Atomic Habits “Your calendar is a better measure of success than your bank account”. In the coming weeks and months, give yourself some grace – start small and spend some time with yourself. In this newsletter, we have some bucket-list mini adventures you should consider for 2023.

We had our first snow day here, and it was awesome! We got to try out the Salomon Escape Outpath 64 on our “home made” XC course… check out our video HERE. It’s a year to not take one’s self too seriously.

For the second year, we completed our first day hike and it was awesome to have such a great turnout. So many people also came out and welcomed the new year in hiking boots.

Every time we cross into a new year, I go into this existential crisis of feelings and evaluations, goal setting, and assessments of roles, legacies etc… It’s exhausting just thinking about what my head thinks about. In most cases, making sense of all this boils down to one thing – Gratitude.
Striving for greatness seems a never ending battle with small victories only realized when we are able to grasp the fleeting stillness required to take a breath and recount the small wins (and failures) and find a way to be grateful for them.
With an open rate of 40%, I can say I am grateful that 40% of the people this newsletter hits their emails, and they take the time to listen to the words a regular hustler like me has to say.
For this and much more I am grateful. Here’s to a few more months of gratitude…
