New Year, New You - Resources To Help You Reach Your Goals!

We recently held a contest asking people to share their New Year's resolutions to be entered to win tickets.  Without sharing names, we thought it would be fun to share some of their resolutions.  Because many of the resolutions were similar, we put together some links in case your New Year's Resolution can benefit from these too.  If we didn't have a link to share, they are now on our list for 2025 articles so check back often.
