Today was the first day somebody asked me about my New Year’s resolutions. I usually have a few, at least one personal and one professional. I realized this year I have been so wrapped up with the holidays I have not settled on my resolutions yet.
I always love New Year’s Eve. It holds promise for me that the new year is equivalent to a new start and a new opportunity to learn, grow and be the best that I can be. This rings true for IPRA in 2011 as well!
