Growing up, I remember watching my mom clean the house from top to bottom, reaching every single corner making sure everything was top notch clean! She would say, "we need to start the new year the way we want it to continue". She believed, if we started the new clean and ready, the rest of the year would go much the same. It was not a way to avoid the difficulties, but to start on the right foot. I would like to encourage you to do the same thing, but for your mind, body, and soul. I would like to encourage you to take some time in the next few days to clean up your mind and soul and start writing down your dreams and goals for the coming new year.
