&lt;p&gt;As the New Year draws closer, some of us are already thinking about what resolutions we are going to make to usher this ritual event into our lives.  It’s definitely a chance for our hearts to be filled with hope for new beginnings and further realizations of our dreams and wishes - for ourselves and for others in 2014.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
