Many people around the world were relieved to bid adieu to 2016, so widely detested it prompted publications ranging from The New York Times to The Telegraph, the Smithsonian to The New Yorker, Slate to BuzzFeed to question whether it was the worst year ever.
An exhausting presidential election, the controversial Brexit vote, the deadliest mass shooting in US history, numerous international terrorist attacks, earthquakes galore, the hottest year on record and a string of beloved celebrity deaths—many would say 2016 was a pretty dreadful year, indeed.
Putting all this behind me, I choose to remain hopeful that 2017 will be a better year—a great year. I will do my best—and I encourage you as well—to do everything possible to spread positivity and love.

Great stuff….I am reminded of what my dad always told me. He would say, “John you just have to do two things and you will have an awesome life. One, always be honest in everything you say and do. And two, stay connected with every one.”
Your dad sounds like a smart man. From what I’ve seen, you’ve taken his advice to heart. We are all connected and are all creating our futures with every thought we have and action we take. Thanks, John.
