A Short and Sweet Post on Why 2021 was an Incredible Year
2021 was certainly not without its own unique set of challenges, but it definitely beat the heck out of 2020 and was by far one of the best years I’ve had in recent memory.
As I reflect on the past year, I’m remembering that in 2021 I…
Got VACCINATED AGAINST COVID-19! This was HUGE, one of the most profound and impactful moments of my life. We were all finally granted some protection against the virus that rocked the world, and it opened new doors for us all to take life (back) on with renewed hope.
Bought a Tesla (our dream car!) with my wonderful husband!
Visited New Orleans for the first time! The city that many of my favorite Anne Rice novels are set in, NOLA captured my heart (and my taste buds) and was one of the coolest, most exciting places I’ve ever visited.
Went on a ton of other fun vacations, too, including a beach trip with my best friends and getting back to festivals for the first time in nearly two years (yay)!
Conducted my first ever celebrity interviews with the cast of Fast and Furious 9, which was WILD and so, so exciting! (!!!!!)
Moved back home to Philadelphia! Andrew’s office finally reopened, and we were able to move into a brand new apartment all our own in Philly, our home since May 2017. It feels so good to be back.
Spent more time with friends and family than ever before. This one was wonderful, as 2020 kept us from so many, 2021 reunited us and I spent more time vacationing, visiting, and spending quality time with friends and family than any year prior.
Turned 25 and celebrated 4 years of marriage! So great, so thankful to be here— life is just good, y’all.
Started taking my health, fitness, and intuitive eating practice more seriously. I feel happier than ever with my body and my relationship with food— I feel FREE!
Got a new job as a Content Strategist at Verizon, and kept building my blog, my brand, and booking new blogging, journalism, acting and modeling roles as well all year! I got a new job in my professional career, got back on film and photo shoot sets, etc.— and it felt GOOD to be back.
Got back on stage for the first time in many years with Theatre West Virginia for their production of ‘A Christmas Carol’, and performed in many short films this year (which were all so much fun)!
And, all in all?
2021 was an amazing, transformative year for me and mine— and I know it only gets better from here. Here’s to 2022; Happy New Year to all!
Xoxo, MM.
