It's a fact that many of us look towards a new year to bring or to make a big change in our lives. New Years resolutions are spoken about and made, plans for a better year are laid out. However, we all know (too well) that many of these resolutions will be broken. Personally I try not make resolutions at the beginning of the new year. Instead, I journal about what changes I would like to make (or need) in my life and try and set some small attainable goals. Sometimes it works out and other times, well...life and everything in between happens. This year may be a great year, maybe the best one yet...no matter what the end result, I will learn and grow and try to find joy in each day.

I wish you all a happy and healthy 2023 and look forward to seeing you all!

All my best,
Melissa
