Yes, every year folks enjoy making resolutions as the glasses clink in toast and celebration of the resolutions from the year before. The holidays end and a new fresh start gets underway and all is right with the world...and on Day Two, yes the reality comes calling. By mid month many of those wonder ideas have already taken a bust and so this day was created for celebration and permission to now move forward with more joyful purpose!
Join us for Resolution Bust Day on Jan 17th at 7pm (350 S. Northwest Hwy in Park Ridge)
