New Year, Another Chance

New Year, Another Chance

Welcome to the A & J PEI Treasures E Jean Simpson author podcast and blog post.  This week, I talk about some of the things that shaped 2022 and my hopes for 2023 as well as some ideas of goals and things that complicate life. If you want to find out more, then stay tuned…!  

Wishing one and all a Happy New Year's Eve and a Happy and Healthy New Year in 2023!  Please, if you partake of festive substances, find a sober drive home.  We need to make this the year that everyone makes it home safely.  

Photo:  Snow against a tree-filled background.  Just as a fresh snow makes the world seem clean and new, people often think about the New Year in a similar manner.
