Happy New Year! It’s that time of the year where most of us reflect on what we did or didn’t do in 2022. Looking forward to an upward emotion in 2023. I’m hopeful. Even though, like many others, I’ve had a challenging year in various aspects of my life. I feel hopeful and excited about the new year. It might be a dream, but I’m okay with it. We need to flourish with possibilities.
As many know from my podcasts and blogs, I love comedies, enjoying a quiet evening with family and friends and quotes.
Salvador Dali “Have no fear of perfection—you’ll never reach it.”
Dr. Seuss “You’ll never get bored when you try something new. There’s really no limit to what you can do.”
Pablo Picasso “Action is the foundational key to all success.”
Alan Cohen “Do not wait until the conditions are perfect to begin. Beginning makes the conditions perfect.”
Antonio Banderas “Expectation is the mother of all frustration.”
C.S. Lewis “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.”
Melody Beattie “The new year stands before us, like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written.”
Taken from the Loving Kindness Meditation
May you be happy, May you be healthy, May you be safe, May you live with ease
Que seas feliz, que estés sano, que estés a salvo, que vivas con tranquilidad
I wish you a safe and Happy New Year.
