Every year brings its own unique set of victories and defeats, struggles and joys.

Following years of uncertainty and a global pandemic that has proven to be one of the most challenging events in history, 2022 brought even more challenges and global unrest. Despite the challenges, it has been a year filled with Vision, Opportunities, Competence and Spirit as we continue to walk through these challenges in a resilient matter.

No matter how tough the past was, the future holds the key to true happiness, our bruises and scars just make us realize how strong we really are. Knowing that as long as I choose this positive outlook, things will never go completely dark, brings hope and the desire to work towards positive changes in all areas of my life. I continue to be committed to personal learning, family time and making healthy lifestyle choices this coming year as well as serving others where I can, in order to increase hope and positivity in my own life, and in the lives of those around me.

Eventually all things fall into place. Until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moments, and know EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON.

Remember what the New Year will bring to you will depend a great deal on what you will bring to the new year. I hope that 2023 brings you all that you hope for, and in particular it brings you lots of health and kindness. And remember, if opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door!
