Dear Members

We hope you have had a wonderful holiday season!  Now, it is January and that time when many of us reassess our busy lives and think about what we want to accomplish or do to balance our lives during the next year. With that in mind, I suggest a simple exercise. First, get a cup of tea or a glass of wine, find a comfortable chair, build a fire or pick a beautiful view, and grab a journal and pen.

Now consider the categories of your life that you want to focus on for the next year. Draw a circle and divide it into pie-like slices, each for a category.  While I know that the first slices for most of us are areas like Family, Spirituality, Financial, or Health and Exercise, I hope that involvement with the State Island Chapter will warrant a slice. The work that will be accomplished can greatly enrich you and our community.

Now is a great time to reflect on the past and create goals for the future. Start planning for an amazing 2017.

I wish everyone a Heathy and Happy New Year!

Thank you

Christine Olivieri Donahue
