What’s your New Year’s Resolution for 2021?

"One of my resolutions is to shop and eat local this year! I will forgo spending money at huge retailers as much as possible for the sake of our small businesses in town who have been negatively impacted due to COVID. Plus, it’s so fun trying new places for gifts and dining." -Melissa V.

"My New Year’s Resolution for 2021 is setting boundaries. I think that 2020 really drove this need (to slow down, to be okay with saying no, and to be okay saying yes to focusing on myself and my family) home for me. It’s never too late to re-evaluate, re-prioritize, and re-conceptualize your life." -Maggie T.

"I don’t set New Year’s Resolutions. But I do set a reading goal each year on Jan. 1. This year, it’s my goal to read 50 book. I read 58 in 2020, so I feel like this goal is one I can meet." -Danell V.

"I don’t actually partake in resolutions, but always have goals. I do see them as different! I am looking forward to an amazing year of BMX racing and have a goal of improving my national ranking from last year. My other goal is to live a happy and productive life with my family and friends. That’s all I got! Keep it simple and you can succeed" -Cheryl T.
