2025 wasn’t really about shiny new things. It was a pretty slow and quiet year in terms of travel, speaking, and other creative pursuits. The end of 2024 was such a handful that I started out in hibernation mode and sort of let that ride through the whole year.
This past year was instead more about falling more and more in love with things that have been part of our lives for a while. I appreciate working at Plant With Purpose more than ever before. Community via improv and church and other things. The kids making a full exit from toddlerhood into just being little kids. To that effect, it was a fitting time to celebrate a tenth anniversary of being married to Deanna with a visit to New Zealand.
The year wasn’t without its challenges, some of which were very loud. But it brought so many reminders of the importance of recognizing a good moment while you’re in it. There were plenty of moments like that.
