Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday break.

I have just got back from a glorious trip to Namibia. We took little planes to explore the northern region of Namibia, saw a full moon in the Namib Desert and a desert adapted lion in northern Namibia.

As we look towards 2023, it's important to consider the challenges and opportunities that the new year may bring
