Impacting over 100 women in 2021 - a review of the year
I always love encouraging you to reflect, fill your cup with all your achievements, learnings and joy in this crazy year of 2021, before rushing to setting your intentions and goals for 2022.
So, I thought I’d share my 111 things that made my year. This is 111 things I did, learnt, created or appreciated in this, the oddest of years. My word for this year was IMPACT and yes it had been an impactful year for sure.
I’d like to preface this by saying: I don’t want you to look at my list and think “What? celebrating this weird year? Is Laetitia not feeling the heaviness of COVID? Why is she still DOING THINGS OUT IN THE WORLD?”
We had a lockdown lasting over 100 days in NSW over this year and, of course, I miss seeing friends and my family in France as Australia locked our international borders from March 2020 up to November 2021. As I write this we know my parents in law will come in January from France, My parents in March and we will go in July 2022. So 2022 will be a year of family reunion and time in France. Hoping that 2022 will be time to return to a relatively normal life.
