Every year, I write a post about resolutions… the glorious opportunity to take a blank sheet of paper and design the year to come, just as you wish. It’s exciting and makes anything seem possible.

Over the next couple of days, people far and wide will be plotting and planning & dreaming and scheming for 2013.
