The modern-day gift for a one-year anniversary is a clock, which commemorates the passage of time over the first year of a major event. And I can’t think of a better analogy to celebrate the first anniversary of my Not So Darlin podcast today. While many would say time practically stood still during 2020, for me the past 12 months seem as if they flew by. It proved to be one of the most enlightening years of my life, a journey of self-discovery that opened up new horizons and experiences I never imagined. It was also one of the biggest learning experiences of my 43 years around the sun, with lots of bumps, curves, and woulda/shoulda/couldas. But at the end of the day – make that 365 days – the rewards have been absolutely enormous. As we all shut down for quarantine last spring, I decided it was the perfect time for me to embark on a personal and professional reboot. I’ve always been fascinated by the stories of others who truly want to make an impact on our world, whether in baby steps or a big-time way. And what better way than to share these stories than to host an online forum that shines the brightest spotlight as possible on these very special people? So please listen in as I take a brief trip back in time and give the appropriate shout outs to everyone who's been on this journey with me - especially all of you, my listeners - without whom there would be no Not So Darlin podcast.
