The below prompts are meant to help you create balance, focus and direction for the coming year. Remember a year is not only a calendar year, it is any 12 month period of time you chose.  Some individuals use a “school year” or a year beginning on their birthday.  Take a quiet moment to reflect and allow them to guide you toward a year of transformation.
