Happy New Year! I hope you are starting this year rested and ready for a new start. Perhaps you have made some resolutions . Perhaps not. Perhaps 2022 was a great year for you and you hope for more of the same. However you are feeling today, I'm so glad you're here. I wanted to share with you some of my thoughts about the coming year and how I hope to approach it. First of all, I am so excited for 2023! I woke up on Sunday morning smiling, that's how excited I was. I am so glad to put 2022 behind me and am more than ready for all the good things that I believe 2023 will be bringing my way. As some of you may know, last year I resigned from a teaching career that had spanned more than 17 years. I was more than ready for a change. I'm still unsure what that means for me and my family but I know that for the first time in a long time I feel like I have some control over what I am going to do with my time and my life, and a sense of delightful anticipation accompanies me
