Happy New Year, Friends!

Instead of rigid resolutions, I opt for intentions each year - gentle directional nudges to keep me moving forward.

My first intention this year is to nourish my most cherished friendships. 

Genuine adult friendships take time, energy and care to sustain and nurture. Last year, life got busy with work, family, health issues and other demands that, at times, left some of my most meaningful relationships neglected - and me feeling like a bad friend. 

It’s funny, but writing these letters helped me a bit in staying more connected. I'd often hear back from a handful of friends after sending one out – they would reply with their updates and we'd make plans to catch up in person or FaceTime.. 

Still, this year, I want to be more intentional about reaching out, making concrete plans and showing up fully.

My second intention is to be more of a tourist in my own city and experience new parts of Los Angeles. 

I get stuck in routines and going to familiar or convenient places in favor of doing the research it takes to venture to new corners. But since I’m single and ready to mingle😉, I’m craving a bit more adventure and want to be intentional in expanding my social circle with more inspired and inspirational folks. So, if have any great resources for spots, events, or hidden gems, send them my way. 

I’m also curious what intentions you’ve set. Reply and share if you’d like!

And in case you missed my announcement about my AI For Non-Techies Workshop Series scheduled for later this month, check out the details below. You can sign up here.

These are beginner-friendly interactive LIVE-ONLY workshops that focus on all you need to know to get started with AI (and everything I wish I had when I got started but still can't find anywhere.)

If you’re curious about AI but feel a bit intimidated and have no idea where to start, these workshops are for you. 

The new year offers us all a fresh canvas. May yours be filled with inspiration, wonder, delight and connection. 

With love,

Avi
