Winter is my favorite time of year. It’s time for stillness, quiet, reflection, and snuggling with your favorites and drinking warm beverages.

The last two weeks of the year, I attempt a quasi-digital detox. I try to reduce social media consumption, time on the internet, playing meaningless games on my phone, etc. I still use digital devices for friendly communication and reading on my Kindle. I’ll be working on a 2022 plan for MeganVick.com and a strategy for growth to bring you more bookish goodness. Please drop a comment if you have ideas!

Take time these last two weeks of 2021 and relax, renew, and prepare for 2022. If the last two years have taught us anything, it’s:

• to take advantage of our health and privileges while we have them

• to be happy with what you have right now instead of constantly desiring something more, more, and more

• to build systems so you are financially stable and emotionally/mentally well

Stay healthy and choose happy. See y’all in the new year!
