Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards. —Søren Kierkegaard
_____________________________Hello dear reader. I hope you're finding a gentle landing spot in this new year.
Longtime blog readers may recall my “weeks in review” turned “months in review” turned "season in review" over the years. Now there's an annual Year in Review.
This reflection exercise allows me to stay accountable, set and review goals, celebrate, and note what needs adjustment.
Below is a list of my year’s experiences in no particular order. There's also a brief reflection and resources to support us moving into the new year.
To compile this information I reviewed my planner, monthly dreams, birthday exercise (here's mine from 2021), goodreads app, ballet class platforms, and photos. Needless to say, it's a process!
Consider your own 2023 list. Look for patterns, wins, challenges, boundaries, and those sweet moments in between. Although this year may have been challenging, you may just rediscover some gems when you compile your own Year in Review.
Oh, and here's an Instagram reel with heaps of photos from 2023.

Donated 10K to charity—Pigs & Pugs Project, Borneo Orangutan Survival, 1% for the PlanetWhat Worked Well for Me in 2023? Hosting the Coterie, trimming my offerings, full psychotherapy practice, a bit of travel, virtual private ballet sessions and group classes, second hip surgery, creating digital courses and the Salon, ate more salads (in wraps), hired amazing support, finalized a new book cover.
What Didn't Work for Me in 2023? Lack of mobility for a month after hip surgery, my therapist of nine years retired and booked a one-way ticket to Italy, I lost my signature ring (Tim found it five months later), reading was hard for some reason, challenges managing physical pain, not completing online courses, didn't create as much content as I'd hoped, didn't complete new book draft, exhausted often, excessive vet visits and senior pet needs, brain fog.
What Did I Learn About Myself Last Year? I need more rest and simplicity in my life.
How Did My Goals for 2023 Unfold? I achieved more than 3/4 of my Year’s Dreams list. Released 25 podcasts, created digital courses, had a meaningful 50th birthday, had the band around my femur removed, nurtured the Coterie, streamlined my website (thanks Mara!), gave a proud performance of Les Sylphides, and took trips to Paris. A few that I didn’t meet and are still on my radar: read 40 books, solid pirouettes at the barre and in the center, daily greens.
My 2024 Year’s Dreams: complete and release Advanced Tranquility book, healthy pugs, send monthly love notes (sign up here), new website, increase color on my plate and eat more veggies/whole foods, learn and perform a made-for-me ballet solo to La Vie en Roseat the International Adult Ballet Festival, get back en pointe consistently, nurture my Coterieloves and clients, incorporate more play and relaxation time, create an "Embrace Your Inner Parisienne" micro-course, finish a few e-courses I’ve signed up for, donate to support orangutans, pigs, and pugs, create AM writing time, create content for you (starting a Substack soon!).
Wrap-Up: Overall 2023 was an okay year. Ballet continued to be a dominate presence along with my therapy practice, the Coterie, and pug caregiving. I see this continuing into the new year and hope to make more space to write, cuddle pugs, and read fireside (or by twinkle light).
My word/theme for 2024 is attention. What about you? May 2024 be filled with time and space for what matters most to you! Bisous. x

Our Guest: Angela GarganoAngela Gargano is a mission-driven leader and serial entrepreneur with 20+ years of experience in creating brands in the diverse fields of wellness, beauty, wine and food. A certified sommelier, yoga instructor, beauty brand founder, and passionate environmentalist, her innovative work has been featured in the New York Times, Wine Spectator, Well+Good, and more.
The daughter of two chefs, Angela grew up in her family’s restaurant developing her taste for the simple pleasures in life -- good health, food and wine. A certified sommelier, she worked in the wine industry for over two decades doing everything from getting her hands (and feet) dirty crushing grapes, to founding a women winemakers club, and acting as the wine director at one of the top resorts in the world. Then in 2005 her entrepreneurial spirit led her to create Bliss Flow Yoga, a welcoming yoga studio in Madison, Wisconsin. Over the course of the next decade, through curated programming, superior hospitality, and a commitment to excellence, Angela grew the studio from a shoestring operation to a thriving wellness business. Uniting her passions, Angela introduced the Yoga + Wine program, an innovative offering that got worldwide attention from prestigious publications and allowed her to host workshops and retreats in renowned destinations. Angela's journey as an entrepreneur is defined by her ability to spot trends and her dedication to sustainable, empowering ventures. She embodies both warmth and strength, making her a remarkable force in the business world. Her latest endeavor, plastic-free skincare brand Lola Arnao, is a slow beauty brand designed especially for sensitive skin. Angela says “ I’ve worked in a variety of industries — but all of the brands that I've worked on share one thing — they're all about making life’s little everyday moments a bit more meaningful and memorable. Most importantly, I believe that businesses with a strong and meaningful purpose at their heart — to support our communities, empower women and support sustainability — are the future!” Angela currently resides in the Willamette Valley of Oregon with her two horses, Espresso and Romeo.

In this week’s edition of Tranquility du Jour, I chat with Belinda Alexandra about her new book, Emboldened: On Finding the Fire to Keep Going When All Seems Lost.
Belinda shares her journey of facing a traumatic event and how she found inspiration in the stories of courageous individuals who overcame challenges. We discuss the importance of resilience, purpose, passion, and connection in living an emboldened and courageous life. Belinda mentions her mother's resilience and wisdom, as well as the stories of Virginia Hall, Carmen Amaya, and Edna Walling, who exemplify these qualities.
We explore the need for balance, rest, and moments of stillness to avoid burnout. Belinda highlights the significance of nature and finding tranquility in everyday life. The conversation concludes with a reflection on the beauty and wonder that surrounds us if we take the time to pause and appreciate it.

Our Guest: Alisa Jones Bespoke brand consultant and bestselling author Alisa Kennedy Jones is recognized as one of today’s most insightful and original voices on brand intelligence.

When not writing her next comedic novel Ellery Allbright Goes Dark, Alisa is having the best time ever heading up a variety of initiatives for Cakewalk Ventures, Ltd., including The Empress, gotham girl, and DIA. As a memoirist, blogger, and screenwriter, her words have been featured widely across national media outlets such as NPR, TED, and as part of the Academy Award-nominated documentary CRIP CAMP, Executive Produced by Michelle & Barack Obama. An advocate for disability, neurodiversity, mental health, and epilepsy, her collection of comedic essays GOTHAM GIRL INTERRUPTED (Imagine/Penguin Random House) was a #1 new release on Amazon and is available everywhere books are sold.
