Hi there all,

I am participating in the 12 Days of Christmas with Julie Hedlund.
Today, Julie Hedlund encouraged us all to take stock of all of our successes for this past year.

Here are mine.

I hope I may have inspired you to do the same. It really is therapeutic and invigorating!

My Successes for 2023

I wrote 41 articles for local newspapers in 2023

I wrote 184 blogs

• Some were writing blogs
• Some were blogs for my successful aging and arthritis/fibro blogs
• Some were for book reviews written

I wrote 15 e-books for Smashwords.

I wrote an essay for an anthology by special invitation. The book will come out next year.

I finished writing my first Amazon Kindle book called Kaleidoscope.

It was 5 years in the making. It will be published in January 2024.

I wrote one quote-plus book – new type of writing for me.  It will be published January 2024.

I wrote an academic book about medical ethics for a university press.  It will be published Feb 2024.

I pitched a writing workshop for the Fibro workshop and am now going to be presenting my workshop twice a month starting in January of 2024. I already presented two workshops this past year. The members love it so much that they want me to write along with them once a month starting in January 2024.

I also have been invited to presented FM101—a fibromyalgia workshop in 2024. I’ll be on the teaching staff starting January 2024.

Happy New Year!
