New Years signifies a new beginning, a renewed opportunity to start anew. many commemorate this occasion with a new resolution… or a promise to themselves to change something… for some, it’s a promise to change physical habits… to return to the gym and start eating healthy again. For others, it’s organization and staying on top of things that need to be done. for others, it’s a spiritual renewal. it’s an opportunity to put the baggage from the past year behind us…and look toward the future with hope.
