January, for most people, is the time of year that sparks the fire for change... While it may be called "New Year's Resolutions"; full of hope, anticipation, and excitement that our lives will be forever changed-it is anything but that. Usually, the momentum fades in a month or two. For some, all their dreams and goals will have to wait until the next New Year comes around to try again.
