Happy New Year from me to you
Lately, I’ve been obsessing over the question, “What have I done today to change something in my life that I want to change?” Too many times, there are things we want to change, but we do nothing. I’m guilty, too. So, this year I’m going to do something about it. Every day, I’m going to ask this question and answer it. I’m going to do one thing to create change. And every single day I’m going to post it on Facebook (Facebook.com/HelpMeHarlan) and I’m going to Tweet it. I invite you to do this with me. Whatever you’re looking to find, fix or change, do it with me in 2012 and make this the best year ever. Wishing you and your family everything you hope and desire for the New Year!
