Especially at this moment in time, I sense shifts and changes. Traditions of the past have made way for new ones. Our once young children are blossoming into independent adults. Thoughts swirl around my brain about which goals to pursue, what needs to be dropped, and what I imagine the coming year to be like. My mood is reflective as I think about all that happened last year. Did I accomplish everything I set out to do? I reached some goals like blogging weekly, spending more time with friends, and redesigning my organizing website and logo. The year was also filled with sadness like saying good-bye to a long-standing client who passed away last month, and going through the challenges of my dad being ill.

One thing I'm very clear about is that whether life is going brillantly or not, I am extremely grateful for the love and support of my family, friends, colleagues and clients. They give my life meaning and purpose. While I love to set goals and reach them, it is within the context of having strong bonds and time with those I love that makes each day richer.

I wish each of you great love, joy, perspective, and success in this New Year!
