Candybar Wrapper Favors & Gifts

If you’re like me you’ve been thinking about and making your New Year’s resolution and if you’re like me you’re also thinking how successful will the resolution last?  Mine usually last about 2 weeks at the most and then I think of them again in February wondering what happened to January since it went by so fast.  This year will be the year I say and once the year passes it really blended in with the year before.  So to you, outloud, I say…..”This year will be the year!”  The year I make the changes I’ve longed for and obviously need.  This year, unlike other years, I have the motivation, the determination and the tools to make 2010 like no other year.  Instead of looking at them as resolutions I’ve turned them into vision and goals.  I have goals for my self personally and I have goals for this blog and my business and will be bringing you a total gift giving solution in the coming months.  There are more details in my weekly newsletter that was just released today so if you haven’t subscribed please do so now and I’ll forward it to you.

Now I don’t know where the new year’s resolution came from or who started it but I did read an interesting fact about New Year’s Day and we actually owe our New Year celebrating to Julius Caesar.  He changed the Roman New Year’s day from March to January in honor of Janus, the god of the beginning.  The Romans had Janus pictured as a two-faced god where one face looked back at the old year and one face looked toward the new year.  I’m guessing that is why you and I now reflecting on 2009 and looking ahead to 2010.  As we get ready to face a new year we bring it in the ringing bells, noisemakers, dancing and laughter while cheering ourselves and each other for a healthy and happy new year!

So here’s to you and wishing you a happy and healthy New Year in 2010!!

Keeping it Unique,
