The hope of a New Year

What I love so much about starting a new year is HOPE – another chance to start over, to believe in better things, another opportunity to change, to make new mistakes, to learn and grow.

The hope of a new year also brings uncertainty of the future. Uncertainty of what might happen, what could happen, what might not happen. There are so many reasons to fear what is ahead.

But this year, I’m embracing hope – the endless possibilities, the big dreams, the lessons and mistakes. All the anticipation, excitement, and thrill of what can and will be – that’s the hope of a new year.

From me to you, happy blessed 2014.

Here’s to 2014 and all that it will be. May it be the best year yet.
