Reflections, recognition, rejuvenation, recreate, replenish, resolve, release, remove, reborn, relinquish and relish…all amazing words we could use to describe the New Year ahead! The New Year provides us with new goals, new views, new lessons, new ideas, new areas of growth and development. We do not need to envision someone new, but moreso, we need to continue creating! 

I agree, we do need resolutions, we need to resolve severed ties, old concepts, and release them in order to develop new paths. This doesn’t mean we won’t revisit, as we are constantly reminded of where we came from in order for us to be guided on the paths we were intended to travel. A future stems from a past, and our past may not define our present or future but it does however shape us. 

We must not feel remorse for the goals set forward in 2016 that we feel did not transpire, we must feel reassured that we have been given more time to continue developing those ideas as we are standing firm in 2017! 

So here’s to 2017….another 365 days, 52 weeks, 12 months to strive, to invest in our passions, to grow in ourselves, to learn and aspire and most importantly to release what seemingly holds us back….ourselves! Here’s to love and it’s ability to heal!
