At this time of the year the Romans celebrated the festival of Anna Perenna, Roman goddess of the New Year. From her name, we derive the words "annual" and "perennial." In ancient Rome, the meaning of New Year was twofold. It was a review of the year just passed and a time to plan for the year ahead.

Write your goal on a piece of paper, along with these words: This is what I wish to sow With this seed, my goal will grow. Bury it with a seed to nurture the growth of your intention. |
