Why New Year’s Resolutions Fail..
With a glass in hand and the New Year just around the corner, I wanted to share a quick thought about New Year’s resolutions — because they tend to get a bad reputation. It’s not that resolutions are a bad idea; it’s that we’re not always great at keeping the promises we make to ourselves.

Here’s to a brilliant start to 2026, and I hope these ideas help you as the year unfolds.
