Instead of list of resolutions I try to pick one word every new year. This word kept appearing, it felt right and so it shall be…peace. Find your peace

Isn’t that something we all need. It’s something I do.

Or standing in a forest listening to the birds sing their songs while watching wildlife engage in life. For me those are some of the small moments where peace feels possible.
