It is January 18th, and I am so sick of the “It’s a New Year, New You, blah, blah, blah! My social media accounts have been inundated with sales promos, including saving money tips, diets, fitness “must-dos,” goal setting and healthy recipes. Can you relate? Are you aware that almost 80% of people who set New Year’s resolutions abandon them? In fact…
My wish for you in 2023 is to be open to change. What opportunities will you pursue this new year? What plans do you have to take advantage of opportunities that come your way?
