I hope you have a meaningful New Years! I know for some of you who lost loved ones, you’re simply glad the holidays are almost over and you’ve said goodbye to 2017. For others, you like what a new year has to offer. Whatever your feelings about today, I invite you to take a few moments to be present to and honor what you’re feeling inside. As you say goodbye to one year, consider whether there is anything else in your life you would like to release. And as you say hello to another year, consider whether there is anything else you would like to welcome into your life. First is the letting go, and then the letting come.
