Perhaps there are more meaningful questions we might want to ask ourselves, such as:  What was my most significant experience of 2021?  What led me to make a decision that resulted in a negative or embarrassing situation for myself or others? What is one thing that I have done that I would recommend others do? This conversation will be facilitated by Michael McCulloch.
