A new year and an old friend: Hope 2011

Dear Friends,

A new year can signify any combination of things to any number of people. Some strive for better health, others seek new opportunities, while some desire to be better friends and loved ones. We embrace the belief that the coming year holds both improvement and change. But what is it that the new year really invites us to remember? What is that necessary something living at the core of every resolution, every promise, and every new intention for the coming year? The answer is no surprise or mystery.

Instead, it is a familiar and enduring force, an ageless torch that forever burns among the embers of the heart. It is the shield protecting us from the crashes of battle and the bright flag ascended at the peak of every conquered challenge. It is the substance of every second chance and the essence of each wish and aspiration. It is the mirror reflecting the fulfillment of our potential and the means that unveils both the obscure and invisible. We know it because it is the author of our pursuits and the happy horizon born from the rising sun..... It is hope, the most beautiful stitch embroidering our humanity and gently unfolding the fabric of every new year.

As you enter this new year, may you relish every joy, may you triumph every challenge, may you beat every odd, and may you remember that hope is never exhausted and always at your side.

On behalf of The Voice Within, the Voice Within Community Blog, and Traviswhitlock.com, Happy New Year!

All the Best in 2011,

Travis Whitlock
