Happy new year, everyone! I wish all the best to you and yours for the year ahead.

As usual, I have lots of plans at this time of year, and plenty of new ideas in motion. I’ll update you on all of that in the weeks ahead.

I always come into the new year invigorated, with a ton of energy. How about you? Do you find yourself worn out by the festivities, behind on laundry, and ready to hibernate for a while? Or are you – like me – filled with plans and ideas and energy to put them into motion?
