The time is right for a pause, here on the cusp of the New Year. It is a time to ask what resonates from the year that was. Do not dwell on what inflamed or angered, troubled or disappointed. Rather,  ask the mirror what fulfilled, what fed, what healed and what brought joy. 

Stay in that space of positive reflection. Then carry it forward, spreading seeds of optimism and quiet reassurance wherever you go.
