Happy New Year! For some, this season is full of resolutions, new beginnings, possibility, and the frenzy of getting back to work after the holiday break. For others, it’s something else entirely.
For me, there were several years when the New Year was a time of grieving, somber moments, and reflection. It was winter inside and out. It was challenging and difficult. But life evolves. Grief ebbs and flows, and over time, hope finds its way back in—sometimes quietly, sometimes all at once.
We treat this time of year like a “starting line,” as if we can shake the giant Etch-a-Sketch of our lives and begin with a clean slate. It’s no more true on January 1st than it is any other day, there’s simply a social agreement we’ve created around it. And still, there’s power in a moment we all decide to notice.
So, regardless of what this season feels like for you, what will you do today? Begin anew or carry on? It’s a question worth asking until your life is aligned with your greatest aspirations. What are you waiting for?
