As we begin 2023, I think it is important to look back on 2022 and acknowledge our accomplishments. A big one for me was participating in my first TedTalk. The theme was Connection, and with losing both my parents in 2020, connection was one of the things that kept me going and living each day, instead of falling into a great big hole of despair.

My TedTalk helped me to communicate to others my grief journey, and by doing so, hopefully help others who feel all alone in their struggles.
