January 1, 2021 By Bonnie Parrish-Kell

2021 new year's resolution

How many times have you made a New Year's resolution focusing on, say, losing a ton of weight, promising never-ever to let a cookie pass your lips, or doing a marathon in March despite being a lifelong couch surfer who struggles to walk a half mile?
