Right now, on January 20, 2022, this is how I feel about the upcoming year:
- I am looking ahead with excitement and optimism that the COVID fog will soon lift from our collective minds.
- It will be a year of keeping my eyes on the horizon.
- It will be a year of engaging with our clients in a way that continues to drive transformation for non-profits and builds strong, trusting relationships.
- It will be a year when I finally find balance and realize that elusive work-life balance…you know, nothing too ambitious
I decided to write these thoughts down because I felt the need to pause and reflect on where I am now, and think about how I would like this year to go. During a period that can feel like a perpetual Groundhog Day, with the same risks and challenges receding and then rearing up again, I wanted to put a stake in the ground at a particular moment of time and mark how I feel right now.
Having written out my thoughts, I’m going to tuck them away, like a time capsule, and then return to them at the end of this year to remember how I felt in this moment, and reflect on how the year played out.
Create Your Own Time Capsule
This felt like a useful exercise — to focus, then to let go, and then eventually to come back — so we thought we’d offer you the opportunity to conduct the same exercise.
If you are interested:
- Take a moment to reflect about your feelings and aspirations for the year ahead.
- Jot them down in the form below and send them over to us.
- When December 2022 comes around, we’ll send them back to you.
We understand that by sending this to us, you are opening up and entrusting us with important personal information. We will not share these with anyone else.
