Happy New Year; Happy New You!
Healthy and Harmonious Blessings from all of us at Middle-Pause
By the time you read this, it’ll be 2024.
New Year’s Eve will have come and gone. Whatever didn’t get done in 2023, it’s time to let it go, and start again fresh.
While we may be sick of hearing about resolutions, goals, and intentions, the gift of a new year is a chance to make a fresh start. Whatever that means to each of us. whatever that looks like.
We at Middle-Pause wish all of you a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year. And ourselves, too.
and while we’re at it, let’s add blessings of peace, joy, and justice for the whole world. I’m thinking of the children in refugee camps and war-torn locations tonight. May their suffering end with the light of day and the dawn of the realization that we humans can do better. So much better.
Starting right now. Who’s with us?
