I’m not a New Year’s resolution kind of person. I even wrote about why I don’t make resolutions here once before. But as each year comes to an end, I do think about all the things that happened during the last twelve months. Yes, every year has its ups and downs, its good times and bad, and is always filled with challenges. Some challenges may be personal, some professional, some feel out of our control, and some challenges we’re excited to face because it means moving forward in our lives for something better.

I have written many times about my own struggles from being a very young, single mom putting myself through school so I could have a future for myself and my two boys, to health concerns, changing careers, and even panic attacks in public. It’s all part of what makes us who we are. It’s life.

Each year I continue to grow as a person. I learn more about myself and have definitely felt more empowered at the choices I’ve made in my life to get me to where I am now. I’m looking forward to 2016 and what it has to offer.

“Be bold and mighty forces will come to your aid.”

Happy holidays from Team Wheaton!
