Last month I said the start of a new year is a time for change. I am happy to say that in my case it is a change of plans. We are not moving and I am excited to remain here with all of you.

This month I want to think about inspiration and motivation to foster positive changes in our lives and the lives of others. What inspires you? After reading this close your eyes and think of something that inspires you. Maybe it is the snow swirling in the wind, the smile of a loved one, or a warm crackling fire.

Whatever gives you inspiration and motivates you, cherish it and think of it often. Let’s use that motivation to do things that will help make our world a better place. Our world spans from the back yard across the globe and it’s all important.

What group do you feel a connection to? Is it the animals, the elderly, children, or the environment? Whatever is important to you take this opportunity to reflect on what you can do to make it better. And then, do it.

Make the rest of your day great!
