As I sit here in this moment writing this, it’s 2 weeks from New Years Eve; I know I’m not alone in saying that I am ready for 2020 to be over and am trying to be hopeful about circumstances being different in 2021. I need to believe that things are going to improve and that we all are capable of the change and growth that makes our lives and our world better.

I think so many of us are craving something new after the mundane and the chaos have both dominated this year. Maybe this time last year, we thought that our goals for 2020 were finally going to help us make that change we’ve always wanted. And then… things happened, and most of us cannot say that this was our most productive year ever. And that’s okay. We had to adapt as we never have before, deal with loss and grief, etc. If all we did was survive the year, that’s okay and it’s more than good enough.
