The New Year gives us an opportunity to reflect on the year gone by, review our journey through that year and look forward to the future.

Is it about something more next year, about adding in something new or about doing things differently??? Each one of us makes up our own minds on this.

For me I like to evaluate my year, my times of challenge and my achievements and take time to look at where I am now. Whilst 2017 did have its challenges, and for my family fear and uncertainty, it also had times of joy, laughter and growth.

What will 2018 bring … truth is I have no idea! But what I do know is that I have learnt some things about myself in the last year that will help me cope with situations that may crop up. My life is a journey, I am continuing to learn and grow in awareness which helps me navigate both the storms and the calmer seas when necessary.

Wishing all who have time to read this a good new year and safe journeys ahead in 2018…
