Going Into 2024
I have never seen myself as an influencer, but I have always seen myself as an ambassador of community. I took all of 2023 to reach back out into my local community and share myself with more with the people that I see either feeding into or blossoming from the same soil from which I am rotted. I want to extend that onto the internet now. I want to make this a home where I can give the energy to all of you and all of my internet connections that I give to my local community. I see so much more I can be writing and I embrace that this is the year to get this done.
