Happy New Year! The Best of 2022

2022 has been all about giving myself grace.

I can't do things in the same way as in previous years, but that's OK. In that spirit, I do want to share some things that I think are worth revisiting from 2022. The format is a bit pared down, but the content is still what it needs to be. Without further ado, here's the Best of 2022 from Framed Perspective:
