WOW!! It is hard to believe we are actually in 2022! The last few years were fraught with illness, loss, fear, and a shaking of faith for many.

As I celebrated the New Year from my home in Houston, TX, I couldn’t help but think of all those who lost a loved one, a job, or their personal confidence in the last 24 months and pondered what would come next for our world.

I was then reminded of the word, “remaining.” After a loss, there is always something remaining. The ruins of an ancient city are proof of this. I then began to think of the importance of securing what remains of our lives after any change. Divorce, layoff, or illness may leave us with just a remnant of what we once knew as normal, but the joy comes in the “remaining.”

Now is the time to consider what remains from the last few years and begin to dream a new dream and create a new life based on the strength of what remains.

As we enter this new and beautiful year, I challenge you to ask yourself, “What do I have remaining?”
