Thanks to the illusional boundaries of time, dates, and calendars we once again find ourselves at the beginning of a fresh new year.

Last year well behind us...by a few days.

A clean slate ahead.

There are various traditions, rituals, or ceremonies to bring in the new year. The most common of course is celebrating at midnight, maybe even with a kiss!  Some break a dish, throw something out a window. Someone I know would ‘leap’ into the new year from a stair or a step stool. My son liked that idea and made it a tradition of his own.

Anyway, however you have ushered in the year, as you find yourself gazing on the infinite possibilities open to you, what will you choose for yourself? What path will you find yourself on in 2023?

It can be overwhelming to think about the whole year and figuring out what it holds in store. The thing is, we don’t have to. Every day, every moment is a new chance to make a choice to move in the direction we want.

For me, instead of making resolutions (they seem so rigid), I like to choose a word of the year and set a few intentions for the coming year. This gives me something positive to work towards without creating a huge set plan that I could end up feeling disappointed over. I leave room for growth, change, the unexpected and for the universe to open up possibilities that I can’t even imagine right now.

Wishing you an incredible 2023!
