Whenever I drive through New Mexico, I stop at this same place and take a picture. It's amazing to see how each time it seems so different, yet it's the same place. The New Year can be like that. 

The reason I'm sending this out on January 2nd is because I want to invite you to "double click" into your life this year with the content in these posts. A new start on life doesn't magically happen on January first but it can be a place to initiate needed change for your life. I hope it is that for you. 

But what if each day was a time of reflection and renewal? What if we greeted each morning intentionally, before the sun rises, and experienced the renewal that is implicit in every day? Over the course of weeks and months, this "newness of life" would reshape our lives. 

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
    his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness.
“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
    “therefore I will hope in him.”

The Lord is good to those who wait for him,
    to the soul who seeks him.
It is good that one should wait quietly
    for the salvation of the Lord.

This newsletter is more than just me pontificating about polysyllabic profundities...it's an invitation for you to discover your true name, transparently grounded in God. It's an invitation out of our over-identifications with institutional powers, religions, tribalism, egoic pursuits, and the quagmire of living under a mask of self delusion. 

Whether you identify as an atheist, or as a religion, a denomination, or a political party, a global citizen, or if you believe yourself to be "unaffiliated", this content is for all of us. 

May I invite you to explore my new series entitled: "The Marriage Tune-up?" It comes every Sunday and has since 2012. Over 30,000 people visited my website in 2023, yet like every year, only a few seem to figure out what this is all about...will you be one of them? I hope so.

I'm here if you ever have a big question, or need perspective. Everything is for free, and I'd love to pray for your life to level up. Let me know how I can serve you. May this be a prosperous and transformative year for you all.

Peace.
