“Road to 2023”, Written, Produced and Narrated by Baldi.

Taking cues from a few recent questions, let me elaborate on my “Road to 2023”.

I’ll begin with my Podcast, by saying, fear not, it’s not going anywhere, anytime soon, however, there will be several other changes as I progress towards realising my 2023 goals of centralising everything into one, possibly two places. I will explain my thought process and reasoning in a future cast, do keep your ears to the ground.

Starting January 1st, 2023, I will be sunsetting both my “Facebook” and “Facebook Messenger” accounts. Rest assured, I am aware for some of you my actions will prove to be interesting, however, we have E-Mail, “What’s App” and a whole host of Video, Audio, and Text-based methods of communication. I look forward to keeping in touch with as many of you as possible as we travel along our future paths. My current contact details will always be located along the bottom of ever page of this, my Podcast site, alternatively, please “Facebook Message” me before the end of December 2022 and we will swap our best contact details. In other “Social Media” News, for the time being I will be keeping my “LinkedIn” profile, do feel free to add me, however, I much prefer Instant Messages, Voice or Video calls for directness and speed. I note and thank you for noticing other Social Media accounts appearing and disappearing in recent weeks. These, I am currently testing and will make a firm decision in the new year, I will of course let you know for sure which ones will be kept. For the time being, feel free to add me, however, be aware of potential changes.

I believe not only will this enable me to serve you, my community better by uploading higher quality, more inspirational Podcasts more frequently, but also allow me to answer your questions in a more timely and richer manner. I also believe my plan for 2023 will allow me to achieve my goals quicker, enabling me to bring all my plans forward thus inspiring you with future activities, which in turn allows you to inspire others along their life path. A win, win situation for us all.

In Piano news, I am enjoying revising older repertoire along with learning new pieces and studies enabling me to advance both my technique and musicality for future live performances, however, I am saddened by the passing of my life-long friend and mentor Dr. Attarah Ben-Tovim, to which I dedicated todays post. Rest in peace inspiring Lady and know you will never, ever be forgotten.

To Figure Skating news, I am continuing learning new techniques enabling me to progress towards taking my Level 2 “Skills” and Level 1 “Programme” tests. Many changes of faces were ushered in with this new academic year, which I find inspiring, however, look forward to keeping in touch with those of you who have moved onto universities and or work.

To Table Tennis news. I feel these last few weeks, I have advanced, however realise lots of enjoyment in the form of learning in my future is to be achieved. I remain committed attending Club two evenings a week, and look forward to my future in this exciting, fun, and challenging sport.

Currently I am enjoying reading “Blood of the Vikings” written by Julian Richards. As a lover of factual books, I can thoroughly recommend this to you all as I find his book to be well researched, well written, informative, and enjoyable.

Lastly, however certainly not least, let me turn to my own book(s) news. In brief, I have now removed all potential chapters from the latest version, which used to be one massive volume splitting them up into smaller. More approachable sections, mini books if you will, ripe for future development. I plan to continue in this vein producing a set of inspiring, shorter stories for you all. I’d love to say a lot more, however, will “Keep the Surprise”, for now.
