Sure, we’ve all made New Year’s resolutions. Perhaps some of us have even kept them (though statistics show not many). Still, there is something beneficial about ending the year in a state of reflection and stepping back in appreciation of where you’ve been and where you’re headed.
If you ask me, this back-to-school season presents the same opportunity. Perhaps it’s the fresh backpacks and new shoes, or all of those newly sharpened pencils and clean sheets of paper—but there’s a blank-slate quality to this time of year, too, ready for new inspiration and a fresh start.
