23 in 2023

I wanted to write this post at the beginning of the year, but then life got crazy again and I was like, “Fine, I’ll write it after the wedding.” And here we are midway through April!! haha…I did start making the list earlier this year, just couldn’t get all 23 items down till more recently

I got this idea of writing 23 things I want to do in 2023 from a podcast I listened to called Happier with Gretchen Rubin on How to Be a Better Human. Gretchen Rubin is one my favorite authors who has written several books about happiness that I find quite interesting and helpful. You can read more about her list making here >>> How to Write Your 23 for 2023 List
