t's a new year, and for many, that
means resolutions. Lose weight.
Exercise more. Spend more time with
friends and family.
We start out with good intentions and
may be able to stick with our intended
resolution for several weeks before
we resolve that this is the last year for
resolutions.
Sound familiar?
e theme for this month's magazine is
new year, new you. You'll find tips for taking
a holistic approach to health and wellness.
And yes, it's OK to make yourself a priority.
It's also OK to celebrate small victories,
which is something I've been working on
over the past year.
inking about trying something new?
Maybe taking that cooking class or learning
how to take more professional photos? Be
bold and go for it. You'll meet several people
in the community who tried a new hobby,
learned from the setbacks and kept pushing
forward.
"I never understood people who avoid
failing,'' says Michael Wiggins, who
discovered a talent for cooking. "Failing is
fantastic when you learn from it.''
You'll also meet Mark Sorrells, who takes
over as president of Fayetteville Technical
Community College this month. He grew
up learning the value of hard work at an
early age. It's something that has served him
well throughout his life.
Happy new year; let's make it a good one!
