December reflections

It’s been a year (and what a year!)

I’m Denis, straight from Vigo (Spain), the lad who had the chance to catch up every month with this graphical universe we’ve constructed for #2023YearOfAction. Such a lovely experience!

When Andrew gave me the opportunity to develop the brand, I felt the impostor syndrome in a way. How would I get that responsibility?! I mean, creating a brand with the purpose of changing the world is a big deal! But I always get that feeling anytime I approach a new project. I think it goes on the menu for most of us, creative workers. But it ended up being so easy (and I mean: sooo easy). The brand spoke for itself, and those monthly sketches quickly became a pleasant adventure.

Now that the year is ending, it’s time to think about all the stuff we’ve been doing. Of course, all the actions were great, but I have some personal favourites (maybe because they’re the ones I do mostly every week):

Week 17 - Come to your senses: it’s all about hearing and, especially, listening! Take a walk and just hear everything.

Week 23 - Notice how you feel: life’s a rollercoaster. Once in a while, we get strange sensations. Listen to yourself, take a breath, and remember it’ll be okay!

Week 32 - Collaboration: it’s all about that! What I like most about my job is the network I get to create. You get to know lots of new people and discover incredible new projects!

Now it's your turn. This year’s been a blast with great collaborators and good actions. We need you to carry on with it. Even if there aren’t any proper actions, remember that you can change the world with small seeds! Come on! We’ve got a year ahead! Let’s keep taking action!

Lots of love and best wishes from Spain, 

And, of course, Merry Christmas! Give a hug to someone: that’s an action too!
