Happy New Year!

If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know that I love making (and working to keep) my new year's resolutions. Now, I get that not everyone is into resolutions, so this year, I'm suggesting a different option. It's modeled after a plan to get control of the excess of Christmas gifts. In that plan, each person gets four gifts: one you want, one you need, one to wear, and one to read.

In my new year's plan, you focus on four goals: develop a habit, complete a task, learn something new, give something back. This week, instead of the usual three times a week blogging, I'll be blogging every day to unpack those four options for you. Hopefully, by the end of the week (and the conclusion of the Christmas season), you'll have your new year's plans ready to roll.

So, what's up for the Elf Blog this year? I'm going to focus on creating more new content and recycling less. Also, some time in the first quarter, we'll be switching platforms so that the blog will become one piece of an integrated website to support my writing and speaking. The address will remain the same, so set your bookmark to www.maryelizabethsperry.com.
