Happy 2024!Â
I can hardly believe it. A new year already? I feel like New Year's Day can be a little bittersweet. A lot of promise and hopes for the future and also sometimes a few goodbyes. Goodbyes to the year we're leaving behind, goodbye to the family or friends who've been visiting for the holidays, goodbye to the holidays (which for me is always so hard since I love it so much!). But it can be balanced out with all the hopes for the new year. With January first comes the promise of a fresh start. Yea, it's a day just like any other day. But it comes with some sort of common ground that says "hey, you can change anything you want and start today with the rest of the world." We're all on step one of our goals. However big or small those goals may be. We are all on the first step together and somehow that's both empowering and comforting. We all have things we want to do differently or other places we want to be at a year from now. But the cool thing is even if our goals are singular, we aren't alone! On January 1st we have this big camaraderie with other people who have achievements they want to pursue. Whether it's a health goal, a business goal, or a personal goal, we are all on page one of the story we'll write this year, and that in and of itself is enough to boost a mood and get excited. So get up, celebrate the new beginning, waltz into the new year with hope and gratitude in your steps. We've got this!  We're only one step away from making progress and we're on step one together.
Happy New Year, friends!
