We’re in the final countdown to 2023. Can you believe it?  


Now is the perfect time to do some reflection. In fact, for 2,000+ years now, people have used this time of the year for reflecting back and looking ahead.  


Fun Fact: Did you know that January was named for the ancient Roman mythological god of beginnings and transitions, Janus. He is depicted as having two faces — one that looks backward and one that looks ahead. The ancient Romans believed that Janus symbolically looked back into the previous year and forward into the future. So when Julius Caesar established the Julian Calendar in 46 BC, he named January 1 as the beginning of the new year in celebration of Janus and what he symbolically represented. And to this day, we celebrate January 1 as New Year’s Day.
