I don’t know about you but I’ve always thought of September and back to school as the real start of the new year. I know all that Holiday Hoopla has a big day for the New Year in December but September — when the air gets crisp and the leaves change and fall — that’s the real beginning. It was time for a new grade, new experiences and new, although seemingly irrelevant at the time, learning that I looked forward to. The annual “do-over” for kids navigating their school careers.

Now it’s a time to do things you’ve been putting off; get back from a slower summer pace; start taking those new project ideas forward. In my case it’s finally getting my new website up and running. It’s a ‘work in progress’ and always evolving. Perfect for the new year!
