“Write it down, make it happen,” suggests retreat leader Judith Valente. The start of a new year is a blank page offering us many possibilities. It is a time to reflect on where we have been and also on where we want to go to turn our dreams into possibilities. This means more than listing New Year’s resolutions that start with good intentions and are swiftly forgotten. During this morning of reflection, we will endeavor to write the plot we want to see unfold for ourselves in the coming year so that whatever unexpected events might surprise us, we will have written a clear roadmap to help us stay the course toward our goals for spiritual and professional growth.
