I feel lucky to start the New Year in Colorado Springs, climbing The Incline with old friends. The steps go one mile up at a 45 degree angle, plus you’re climbing with the added challenge of altitude! The reward is the view and the accomplishment. So step out of your comfort zone this year and climb uphill. Challenge yourself like you’ve never challenged yourself before. One step at a time, with confidence, stopping along the way to re-group, and trying again and again. At the top, you’ll find happiness.

If you need some motivation, join the February Challenge on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/februarychallenge). It’s a year long event this year, for the first time. And January is about organization. Let’s get rid of the “stuff” that keeps us from life.

Happy New Year!!
