I like new things. When it’s time for new shoes I am all on it,
strap on my purse breaks I get a thrill because I know I get to
buy a new one. And who doesn’t love shopping for a new car,
playing with all the new gadgets and buttons? New things mean
new starts, and how can you not like the threshold of a new
year? You get to stand in the face of a spanking new year and
see all of the hopes and dreams of your future. It’s time to
make declarations and promises to yourself and they all ring out
in form of a resolution. Most people make resolutions with head
strong, determination and affirmations; they are dedicated and
full of energy to make it happen. That’s when the year is young
and you are raring to go it seems like nothing can stop you, so is
your resolve to make things happen. Wouldn’t it be great if we
could maintain that fortitude throughout the year and see our
goals for the year met? In this issue we have two people who
did that very thing in 2013 and we’re honoring their strength of
mind and character. Sergio Ribeiro and Lou Quigley made up
their minds in January 2013 that they would make a difference
in 2013 and they did that very thing, changing their lives. This
magazine is dedicated to their ability to make a resolution and
see it to fruition.
