Happy New Year!

And I wanted to remind you that this New Year's Day...EACH New Year's Day, is an opportunity to begin your life over again.  It doesn't matter how often you've disappointed yourself, forgotten your goals, confused stress with effective action.  You can begin again. Set goals in each of your major areas, and begin to work toward them at the rate of 1% per week.  Learn the names and tricks of your inner demons.  Play the game hard, but never forget it's a game.  Love your family and friends until it feels that your heart will explode.  Fill every day with all of the joy and passion that you deserve.  Commit to making this year the very best ever.  And thank you  for being in my life these past years. It matters.
