All Things New

Hey! Welcome to my newly redesigned website! Isn’t it cool? I still have a lot of work to do to get all of the pages up to scratch, but in the meantime….

So Christmas is in just a few days, and once we get the celebration over with, we move on to New Year’s. I’ve always liked New Year’s. It’s a great time to sit back and reflect and take a look at what the past year meant to you. I’m sure I’ll be doing a 2014 retrospective at some point, but in the meantime, in light of the new website design, I’d like to take this opportunity to tell you to go do something new!

In life, we often get stuck in a rut. Whether it’s settling for the same old routine every day or holding on to the same unhealthy relationships, it’s easy to get used to the way things are. Maybe that way worked at some point in your life, but eventually there comes a point where in order to move forward, you have to try something new.

Trying new things has helped me to move beyond a few personal roadblocks in 2014. Being open to new friendships and new collaborations has done wonders for me personally and professionally. I think it’s fitting that I’m ending the year with a whole new look for this site.

But I encourage you to take this push toward newness and trying out in your personal life. It can be as simple as choosing a different kind of cookie at the office Christmas party or driving a different route to the grocery store. It doesn’t have to be something big, just a little tweak, a little change. Christmas itself might be the perfect way to help with the newness factor. Maybe you’ll be given a new outfit or a new pair of socks on Thursday. Try it on, wiggle your toes, and see how it makes you feel.

Because at the end of the day, newness restores our soul. It helps us to break old patterns that are worn out and unhelpful. One new thing can lead to another, and soon you’ll be making changes that will make the big things in life that much better. It’s funny how life works out like that.

So here’s my new website! Now what new thing are you going to do today?
