New Year. New Priorities.

As we bring in the New Year, it's a great time to start fresh and focus on what truly matters most to us. Instead of setting unrealistic resolutions that we may struggle to keep, let's use this opportunity to reset, plan, and prioritize aspects of our lives that are truly important to us. Once we identify those areas, then we can plan and start implementing these changes in our daily lives. This will help you stay motivated and focused, and increase your chances of achieving your goals. You may be wondering, how do I develop a plan for this? You can create SMART goals for yourself, with this simple method.

• Specific
• Measurable
• Achievable
• Realistic
• Timely

For me, the health and well-being of myself and my family is my top priority. In addition to physical health, I recognize the importance of maintaining good mental health which is often overlooked, but is vital to our overall health and wellness, and I am committed to prioritizing it in the year ahead. 

Besides prioritizing our own health and well-being, I believe it's crucial to focus on the well-being of our children in 2023. Kids face many challenges these days, which is why it's important to provide them with the tools they need to learn about personal safety and how to handle situations such as bullying. One way to do this is by introducing them to resources like my children's book Safety Seal, which teaches kids about handling emergency situations, especially when they're away from home. This book is great for young readers especially those ages 10 and under.

Let’s all do our part in making 2023 the best year yet!
