New Year’s Revelations 

2025. We made it! Many of you may still be nursing hangovers, some of you won’t. But all of you will have made some kind of New Year’s resolution. Yet how many will stick to it?

Instead of a resolution, that I won’t invariably keep, I do a New Year’s Revelation. Radical I know. But the last few years my wife and I will sit down on New Year’s Eve and go through our past year to talk about what worked, what didn’t, what we learned, and what we can do moving forward to make the upcoming year greater.

While most shall remain private, I can share what we’re both most looking forward to. Ready?

Settling into Burdekin life so we can start laying roots. With a rambunctious 3-year-old and a baby due in April, all we want for this year is to feel stable, comfortable, and at ease.

When you’ve been on the road as long as we have (19 months), hoping to land but not really finding your “place” it can get pretty tiresome. You start to wonder if you’ll ever find somewhere suitable. Well, that search is over.

Life, either via by divine guidance or dumb luck, has led us here, and here is where we’ll stay for the foreseeable future. So, get used to seeing my face around town, continue sharing your stories, and let’s get more acquainted with one another this year.

Oh, and “if” I had to have any resolutions it’d be: less chocolate, more exercise; join a few local clubs to integrate further; and make the most of my sleep before we go from being three to four.

Happy New Year’s ‘Revelation’ everyone!
