As I have been soaking in all the hype about yet another year beginning, I have to admit I have been in the zone to make resolutions and goals, better myself, grow my relationships, and to further my career. I have been very intuned with it as well making checklists each day and following through. However, as I smugly checked another accomplishment off my today to do list of the new year, I could not help but wonder… why do we need a new year to have a new life?
Why can’t we have a new week each week and fist pump up the enthusiasm with the endless possibilities?
Why can’t we make a reason to meet up and celebrate all the potential changes life has to offer?
Why can’t we eat blackeyed peas everyday? …ok that one we can throw out 
But in all seriousness, why don’t we start giving ourselves a reason to celebrate life versus giving a date a reason for us to celebrate?
Carpe Diem y’all
