I think I do a pretty good job of having work/life balance. Since I didn’t get to partake in any major travel in 2023 and had to adult, I took several shorter getaways throughout the year.

I’ve been extremely blessed with only having sustained two injuries in my entire life (the first being three decades ago while at a track meet!). The recent shoulder injury I had was the worst! I wish I could say the injury was from an intense workout, or during a grand adventure, but alas, it was…
