Out of order, in 2021, I saw my daughter off to preschool and my incredible husband graduate with his Master's, I wrote and directed a short that I'm proud of - that feels like it could be useful somehow in the world, wrapped season 2 of the podcast, acted a bunch (Did my best work ever alongside some crazy talented, generous people), said a very painful goodbye to our very best and madly beloved 16 year old dog, Loafie, had the great fortune of celebrating my great grandmother's 97th, my mom's and dad's 72nds, my brother's 40th, my 43rd (!!), elevated my cheeseboard game, dressed up as a poop bag for Halloween, lost a pregnancy, gained confirmation that I'm an actual genius (Per the NY Times Spelling Bee), met new friends, tended to old wounds... And somehow so much more. What a full year. But maybe they all are? Anyway, welcome 2022. I love you. Bring it. Wishing us peace, love, joy, wisdom, and abundance. 🙏❤️"". ## External links[edit] * Kat Foster at IMDb * Kat Foster on Twitter Authority control International| * VIAF * WorldCat National| * Germany * United States
