Wow, welcome to this brand new year with me! I have admittedly neglected my website for the past couple of years. These past three years were filled with self discovery and regeneration, and I am delighted to be here with you all in 2023.
In the past few years, I have continued sporadically working on my podcast, starting a new demanding hobby – Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, studying a few languages, and growing in my linguistic career path.
Did you make any New Year’s resolutions? I have a few goals, rather than resolutions. I’m happy with the habits I built through 2022, and I would prefer to continue said habits, but here are specific goals I’m aiming for in this year:
- Be able to have a simple conversation in Modern Standard Arabic
- Learn techniques to transition from white belt to blue belt level in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (under the Pedro Sauer Jiu Jitsu Association)
- Compile covers for a solo music gig; I already have a few songs ready to go, so far!
- “Right as Rain” by Adele
- “Tears Dry On Their Own” by Amy Winehouse
- “So Far Away” by Carole King
Speaking of which, these songs are great and you look like you could use a music break – take a listen to these lovely songs!
Thanks for visiting and taking a look at the revival and reinvention of my website to better accommodate my far more differentiated life at this point – I can’t wait to share with you all what I have been able to accomplish and overcome in the past two and a half years!
