I’m sitting in the Seattle airport, soon to be headed toward family down South for the next couple of weeks. I don’t think I’ve ever spent New Year’s Eve in an airport …or maybe I have. They’re beginning to run together.

But what is always new, always fresh, is the unknown a new year brings. I’ve chosen “thrive” as my word to define and inspire the coming year. I hope to help others find the ability to thrive also.

Here’s my wish for family, friends, and anyone who reads my words: may you stretch yourself to love, to give of yourself and to receive; may you feel the energy of joy and productivity; and may your life be a beacon to others.

Have a joyful year, my friends! It’s going to be a great one!
