Happy New Year! Each year we spend a week or 2 wishing each other a Happy New Year, and then after that initial period, we stop and just get on with it. January though, provides us with a massive opportunity, that in my humble opinion, we should not miss. My theme this month is Ahimsa, the yogic concept of No Harm.
