# 2022 Recap: Your Favorite Leadership and Learning Letters
by [Dee (Deanna) Rolffs (they/them)](https://l3catalystgroup.com/blog/author/dee-rolffs)
January 04, 2023
Greetings friends,
When I launched Leadership and Learning Letters in 2021, I would never have guessed that thousands of you would find my blog supportive of your leadership and learning journeys.
Thank you for responding with graciousness, openness, curiosity, questions, and bravery. Your texts, emails, and conversations about the topics brought me so much joy in 2022.
Years ago, when I was petrified to write, my voice coach encouraged me to write a manifesto. I've updated the Leadership and Learning Letters manifesto at the start of 2023:
I write
To embrace vulnerability
To learn and grow
In interconnected community
To help each other know we aren’t alone
As we share struggles, celebrations, lessons, and learning
To get to know ourselves
As an expression of our light
To be bridge builders, bringers of justice, curious, creative, and fearless
As an extension of ourselves, our contributions, our craft
To eschew perfection
To express and grapple
Holding tension and complexity
To thrive
For liberation
In that spirit of sharing, here are my top three blogs from 2022:
3rd place: [Leadership + Power + Hierarchy](https://l3catalystgroup.com/leadership-and-learning-letters-blog/leadership-power-hierarchy)
2nd place: [Leadership + Critical Race Theory](https://l3catalystgroup.com/leadership-and-learning-letters-blog/leadership-critical-race-theory)
1st place: [On Being Gender Queer](https://l3catalystgroup.com/leadership-and-learning-letters-blog/on-being-gender-queer)
And, check out the three all-time most-read Leadership and Learning Letters blogs:
3rd place: [On Being Gender Queer](https://l3catalystgroup.com/leadership-and-learning-letters-blog/on-being-gender-queer)
2nd place: [Wait, Are You Saying I Have Power?](https://l3catalystgroup.com/leadership-and-learning-letters-blog/the-false-allure-of-technical-vs-adaptive-leadership-0)
1st place: [What Do You Mean Brave Spaces? I Want Safety!](https://l3catalystgroup.com/leadership-and-learning-letters-blog/what-do-you-mean-brave-spaces-i-want-safety)
Whether you enter 2023 brave and bold or tentative and trepidacious, you are welcome here.
I typically don't set concrete resolutions in the new year; the rebel in me wants to set goals on my own timeline and terms. However, themes felt right for me this year.
My 2023 themes are presence and practice.
What are your themes (or goals) for 2023? What topics would you like me to incorporate in 2023? I'd love to hear about it.
Fellow leaders and learners, I wish you courage for the journey.
