Happy New Year! I like the start of a new year, I believe that a new year is like a fresh start... wiping the slate clean. I believe that reflecting on the past year at the beginning of a new year gives you a chance to evaluate how it was and gives you a chance to improve. I feel that everyone can improve somehow. I don't believe that anyone is perfect and I absolutely believe that I am far from perfect. I have been reflecting on my past year and I have to admit it was definitely not one of my favorites. However, the past year definitely had its pluses and I'm very grateful for that. Some of those pluses were graduating from college, working with new clients and return clients, and most of all buying my first home on my own. So I have to say it wasn't all too shabby. But after all this reflecting on that past year I have found areas where I would like to improve personally, business wise, and friendships so instead of making a new years resolution, i decided to make some new goals... If i meet them, awesome! If not, no sweat, I will just keep working at it.
