Through My Lens - The Year 2022

It’s been a year full of changes for me.

Thanks to you amazing readers, I have had a great year! I experienced a lot, learned even more, and shared a ton with you folks.

I want this post to be a little more personal than my others. In this post, I will let you folks explore the year through my lens.
