Things have started off somewhat chaotic here in the United States for this New Year, but there is too much hope on the horizon to get down about it.

Tragedies are always sad and we must pay our respects to victims, but we must also keep perspective in the midst of it all. Yes, we have a combustible array of ideologies that live amongst us that lead to unfortunate events, but there is much to look forward to.

A new dawn is rising here and will hopefully spread to other parts of the globe. These United States are as resilient as any nation in this world, but it is up to us individuals to mine the vast resources that reside in all of us to make this place all that it can be.
