As we move into the new year, may we take the time to renew our spirits. Gently shedding behind what is no longer serving us and others, and moving forward confidently with love and light. Enough faith in our hearts to surrender to life. Enough sight and effort to create a better reality. And enough grace and joy to be grateful for what we have. Happy New Year from all of us! –Guri Mehta
