Happy New Year sweetie! How\u2019s your year been going so far? I haven\u2019t seen you since\u2026last year, and you look\u00a0exactly<\/em>\u00a0the same. How do you do that? Wow.<\/p>\n

On my first day back at work I talked to my students about their New Year\u2019s Resolutions \u2013 what were their goals for 2015? What did they want to accomplish \u2013 academically, artistically, spiritually, financially, and any other way they could think of? The results were amazing. One student said \u201cI want to look in the mirror and like what I see.\u201d Another said, \u201cI want to survive my first year in college!\u201d (He wasn\u2019t the only one who said this.) Someone else said, \u201cI want to find my passion and eliminate things that don\u2019t bring me joy.\u201d I then asked them what needed to be done first in order to make that goal happen. And what needed to be done before that step. And before that one. We thought backwards, step by step, and brought it down to what they could do RIGHT NOW to make that goal a reality. I truly believe that when you write things down, when you share your words with others, you make a promise to the Universe and the Universe listens. Once you\u2019ve put it out there, there\u2019s no turning back! (Much like those pictures of you at that crazy bachelor party you wish you could take off the Internet.)<\/p>\n

When I was a little girl, I took my resolutions very seriously. I made lists and crossed things off one by one. Things on my list were \u2018keep my room clean\u2019, \u2018help grandma more\u2019 and \u2018hit my brother less\u2019. As I got older, my resolutions became bigger. But simpler. \u201cMake a difference.\u201d \u201cDo better\u201d. \u201cMake a change.\u201d I write down these three every year, again, and again, and my resolutions sometimes feel like revolutions because they become so big in my mind and lead to some hugely awesome things. What are your resolutions? Or do you have revolutions? Share them with me \u2013 think big!<\/p>\n

This year is full of new adventures for me \u2013 moving into my new office (no more writing at my children\u2019s play table!), writing new books, and launching the second Business English Communication Course (mark your calendars \u2013 we start March 30!). I want to make a difference and I want to help. I want to make a difference in how you learn English and I want to help you to communicate better in English \u2013 without fear, and without shame. And to have a great time while doing it!<\/p>\n

So happy to see you again dear! I wish you a wonderful year \u2013 may all your dreams come true. What can you do today to make that start?<\/p>\n

Wit lof,<\/p>\n
