This is not a best of 2013 list, or a manifesto about how
2014 is “going to be my year.” Not to knock any of that but I think so often we
try to pretend that the New Year is a clean slate that once the year is over we
don’t have to look back. “Thank god this year is over” we say, “Can’t wait to
start fresh.” This year I am looking at
it a little differently.
