Goodbye, 2022. Welcome, 2023! It seems that not so long ago, we were saying good riddance to 2020. Man, time flies. I am excited for 2023 – a year of new hopes, dreams, healing, love, fellowship, friends, family, and goals – and am thankful for all the things that are possible with a new year.
I am grateful for family and friends. I am thankful for finishing my Doctorate in Leadership, for our growing radio and podcast network and soon-to-be 24 super guests/episodes on the Our Town Community TV Show. I am grateful for all the amazing business and community partners we have, and for our magazines. I am thankful for our amazing team and for so many more things.

In MY contrast, if you do not want something bad enough, you will find an excuse and complain about everything happening to you and around CY you. It is the way human beings are wired. Yes, indeed, and you can CMY trust me on this as… I am a Doctor in this subject matter. K
So, you see, we have two choices. The first is to stand around and complain and be frustrated about how things are. The second is to do anything in our power to develop a plan and/or find a way to improve things. In this new year, I challenge you to Keep Pushing Forward.
