Today is my birthday and the magic number this year is 53. Holy sh!t. How did that happen?
Anyway, I feel good and am happy with all I accomplished this past year in both work and personal life. I tend to use this day as one of reflection on this past year as well as my life. To relish in my accomplishments as well as the pains I’ve endured. I also look forward on year 53 and beyond.
A couple highlights of 52
- A brand refresh and new website from Babacita to John R Kowalski | Integrated Marketing Fusion
- My role as Head of Marketing for BYK-Gardner USA and Gardco and the amazing team that I work with
- The great marketing work and the difference I’m making with a few select clients
- Continued community support through the Lone Oak Volunteer Fire Department as a firefighter, public information officer, and board vice president
- Proud of my children, their growth and the wonderful individuals that they are
- Happy the beautiful life my wife and I have carved out
- My progress on guitar, piano, and banjo, in addition to my songwriting
Looking forward to year 53
- Creating more content, including video
- To keep pushing marketing tests and innovations through my work and my Integrative Marketing Fusion model
- Continue my progress on guitar, piano, and banjo
- Keep on writing lyrics and songs
- Song recording and production and increase my knowledge of Studio One software
- Connecting more with friends and family
- Keep cooking and experimenting in the kitchen, specifically Italian and Mediterranean food
- Improving my community through my volunteering at the fire department
I just hope the petting zoo and mariachi band arrives soon. 🙂
