- 🍾 Ring It In | Pulse Of The Nation
I’m pretty sure I say this every year, but 2024 sounds futuristic. It sounds fake. But alas, here we are. Another 365 around the sun. While this past year has been tumultuous, we are excited about what 2024 holds for us and all of Elevation Nation!
Parker and I spent some time earlier this month thinking through what we wanted for Elevation Nation. In addition, we spent some solo time thinking through our goals for the year.
The concept of New Years Resolutions shouldn’t be new to anybody. But one new thing we did this year, was look back at 2023 and share some highlights. I went month by month through my camera roll to relive some of my favorite and most impactful memories.
I’m glad I did! Sometimes you forget just how many memories you’ve created the past year. Here’s to many more positive memories in 2024!
