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.

Reflection
What 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 Rose at the International Adult Ballet Festival, get back en pointe consistently, nurture my Coterie loves 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 Gargano

Angela 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

I am a ballet educator who is teaching adult students online in a thorough and professional way.

Ballet technique is a concoction of skills which can be learnt by those who are ready to dedicate themselves to it. Body type, age, and talent have little to nothing to do with performance.

I took my first ballet lesson when I was five, and I still feel equally mesmerised every time I immerse myself in this art. I’ve always felt called to help others along their ballet journey.

After being qualified with two Diplomas in Dance Education and a Masters’ degree in Dance and teaching dozens of students on and off line, I deeply understand anatomy, growth, and pedagogy. My experience has given me enough knowledge to develop my C.O.R.E. (Centre Outline Rotation Experience) framework. This helps me guide my students in order for them to develop their overall alignment, technique, and musicality until they uncover the ballerina they are hiding inside.

_____________________________
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 int this new year.

Longtime blog readers may recall my “weeks in review” turned “months in review” turned "season in review" over the years. And, of course, there's the 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. After the top 10, they're 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 Daybook, 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 2022 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 2022.

Reflection
During Sunday’s virtual retreat , I explored these journal prompts along with the group and wanted to share a few nuggets from them.

What Worked Well for Me in 2022 ? Hosting the Coterie , being off Facebook (video with tips forthcoming), trimming my offerings , full therapy practice, a bit of travel, love my office space, charity donations, home renovation, virtual private ballet sessions and group classes, new hip, memoir efforts.

What Didn't Work for Me in 2022 ? Lack of mobility for two months, poor eating habits at times, not enough reading, challenges managing physical pain, not completing online courses, didn't create as much content as I wanted to, didn't complete memoir book proposal.

What Did I Learn About Myself Last Year? I can handle a lot of discomfort (hip), I can win an award at a ballet competition, how much I love ballet (and struggle), how grateful I am for my tiny pink home and office, I made many more in person connections.

How Did My Goals for 2022 Unfold? I achieved more than half of the Year’s Dreams list in my Daybook such as releasing 25 podcasts, getting a new hip, nurturing the Coterie, adding video to my podcast interviews and created more Tea with Kimberly's , streamlining my website (thanks Mara!), setting up solid business bookkeeping, giving a proud performance of Lilac Fairy, remodeling chez moi, and taking trips to Paris. A few that I didn’t meet and are still on my radar: read 48 books, complete my memoir proposal, solid pirouettes at the barre and in the center, daily salad, create e-courses.

My 2023 Year’s Dreams : get memoir proposal to my agent, healthy pugs, host 600th podcast event (save the date: February 20), send two monthly love notes (sign up here ), release two monthly podcasts , increase color on my plate and eat more veggies/whole foods (less sugar—my life's struggle), carve out more family time, learn and perform Prelude from Les Sylphides at the International Adult Ballet Festival, celebrate my 50th birthday in a meaningful way, get back onto pointe, nurture my Coterie loves, incorporate more play and relaxation time (ongoing challenge), create a few micro-courses (any requests?), finish a few e-courses I’ve signed up for, donate to support orangutans, pigs, and pugs, create AM writing time, design spring #balletcore TDJ clothing collection, declutter.

A Few of My Favorite Reads : The Idea of You by Robinne Lee, Personality Isn't Permanent by Benjamin Hardy, Free Time by Jenny Blake, Toxic Positivity by Whitney Goodman

A Few of My Favorite Shows: White Lotus, Emily in Paris, Fleishman is in Trouble, The Patient

A Few of My Favorite Songs : All things Harry Styles especially Falling and Sign of the Times

Overall 2022 was a solid year. Ballet continued to be a dominate presence as did my therapy practice, the Coterie, and pug caregiving. I see this continuing into the new year and hope to make more space to write in my journal, create content for you, sip tea with friends, cuddle pugs, and read fireside {or by candlelight}.

I’m still finalizing my word/theme for 2023 and feel it bubbling up inside. What about you? May 2023 be filled with time and space for what matters most to you! Bisous . x

Mentioned in the Show

There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others . —Martha Graham

Diane is a first-generation American, the daughter of working-class, Polish immigrants who instilled in her a strong work ethic and desire to “do good.” After studying international relations in college, Diane stayed in Washington and began her nonprofit career on the national staff of United Way, the largest charity in the United States.

Over the course of seventeen years, she managed United Way’s national literacy program, managed the national board of trustees, and built a women’s giving program that has to date raised over $2 billion and mobilized over 70,000 philanthropists.

After leaving United Way, she went on to lead US fundraising operations for an international nongovernmental organization that served orphans and abandoned children, oversaw a leadership turnover at a large public library foundation, served as the Chief of Protocol at the US Embassy in Australia, and led the women’s giving program for the American Red Cross.

In 2018, she and her husband cofounded Evergreen Philanthropic Solutions, a national consultancy that helps nonprofit organizations, individuals, corporations, and foundations achieve their philanthropic goals. Diane is a published author of For a Good Cause: A Practical Guide to Giving Joyfully and a frequent speaker at conferences.

Jennifer Arnspiger is a writer, shadow worker and somatic journaling coach who helps highly sensitive women heal their stories so they can be lovingly in their bodies.

She left her Master's program in Creative Writing to prioritize writing the stories her body needed to release, so she could heal her relationship with herself and find peace inside her skin.

Through private coaching and her self-paced Body Story course, Jennifer helps sensitive women come home to their bodies by expressing their deep truths, so they can enjoy (and actually feel ) self-compassion and live in celebration of their sensitive selves.

She is the self-published author of two books: a short story collection called Pretty Piece of Flesh , and Dark Pretty , the memoir of her awakening after covert narcissistic abuse. She is a highly sensitive INFJ empath, Francophile, flower lover and dedicated dog mom to the sweetest shih-tzu on the planet.

Christine Mason Miller is an author and artist who has been guiding others toward a meaningful life for more than twenty years. Her experience with writing, publishing, licensing, and teaching have established her as an experienced, compassionate authority on how to bring dreams to life, particularly those related to writing and publishing a book. Her online course, The Conscious Booksmith , has supported hundreds of aspiring authors on their book creation journey. Christine is the author, artist and illustrator of six books, each one distinctive and unique in its topic, scope, and design. Her most recent—Notes from The Rocket —is now available on her website.

A graduate of Virginia Tech and the University of Georgia, Christine's career began in 1995 with the creation of an independent greeting card line called Swirly . Over the course of a decade, Swirly evolved into an internationally known brand with more than 1200 retailers and clients that included Target, Barnes + Noble, JoAnn Fabrics, and the Girl Scouts of America. Swirly designs were licensed for a wide array of gift, stationery, and home decor items and an illustrated gift book translated into three languages. After shifting her creative efforts to original mixed media artwork, she organized and participated in over a dozen gallery shows and exhibits before launching her second gift and stationery line, The Christine Mason Miller Collection , in 2009, in collaboration with Demdaco .

Christine’s work has appeared in numerous print and online publications such as Mabel Magazine , Bella Grace , Modern Creative Life , and Dharma Mamas . She has facilitated workshops and retreats at venues across the country, including Esalen Institute in Big Sur, was a speaker at the 2016 and 2018 Brave Girl Symposium , and was one of ten artists featured in Indie Kindred , a documentary film by Jen Lee about artistic collaboration.

Christine lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with her husband and their chocolate lab Tilda.

Julie is an award winning writer, producer, and manager. She started her first career as a fashion designer in NYC after graduating with honors from The Fashion Institute of Technology. A few multiple career paths later, Julie turned her first blog, 'from drabulous to fabulous' , into a TV show that she wrote, produced and hosted for Santa Monica City TV.

Julie’s the recipient of 8 Telly Awards, 7 Aurora Awards, an Indi Fest Award and three Emmy Nominations for her work with Women in Film’s PSA Program writing and producing 30 second spots to bring awareness to needy charities that can’t afford to make their own commercials. There she served on the Executive Committee and was the head writer for their TV extension partnership.

Throughout her life, people have always assumed Julie was younger than she is and upon turning 60 she was concerned that if people knew her real chronological age she would no longer be taken seriously in the business world. One ah ha moment later, and Julie realized that this type of thinking made her part of the problem. So she decided to fess up and be part of the solution. Julie relaunched her blog in 2020 as 'life in the sixo' and uses her platform to focus on Ageless Living. “This isn’t your Grandmas 60!”

Julie lives in Los Angeles with her husband and is a Mom to one beautiful human and two fur babies.

Since then, she’s sold designer and vintage clothes at Brooklyn flea markets, operated a trendy NYC vintage boutique, appeared on national TV representing thrifting and sustainable style, and since launching the NYC Bargain Thrift Store Tour in 2018, thrifted with thousands of tourists and locals in and around New York City.

Sammy currently works as a resale coach, offering consulting and courses via a membership community called THRIFT BOSS BABES, which is a paid subscription marketplace where members buy & sell thrifted finds, all while learning how to level up their resale businesses. Her mission is helping people live their best lives in looks for less, while also contributing to a more sustainable world and being better stewards of their personal finances as “thrifters.”

In October, Sammy co-hosted the first ever virtual thrift style conference, "The Heart of Thrift."

You can follow Sammy on Instagram via @sammydtv and join her Facebook groups THRIFT BABES & THRIFT BOSS BABES .
