It’s Been a Year

By James Newcomb | January 17, 2023

I type this email on my iPhone exactly 18 minutes prior to midnight EST on Dec 31, 2022. And although I’m not big on New Year’s resolutions, it’s interesting to reflect on the past 12 months to think about what went right, what went wrong, and what just went.

In 2022, I traveled between Virginia and Vietnam a total of 4 times. The fourth return trip I had a travel partner. Well, two travel partners if you count our 4.5 kg poodle, Cinnamon. Yes, the Ordeal of the visa finally finished and we begin our life together in the US, although we don’t know for sure what the future holds regarding our geographic locale.

I’m very grateful for a means of making a living that allows the ability to travel, and flexibility to be present with my family. My business has seen some ups and downs this year, but I’m excited about the positive energy that has been shared in the last few months that I believe will manifest in positive material growth very soon.

That’s all I’m authorized to share in a public email to my valued subscribers. There will be much to share very soon, but for now I wish you a happy New Gregorian Calendar Year. Saying it that way loses a touch of its splendor, but it is what it is 😉
