Happy New Year to you my friends. Thank you for the personal get-well messages during my bout with the flu. As I considered my New Year’s resolutions, I couldn’t help but to wonder about my legacy. Am I doing anything that will have a positive impact on my family, friends’ community or country’s life? Last year, my friend Maame shared a testimony with me after attending her mother-in-law’s life celebration. Maame was impressed and touched by the good deeds and commitment espoused by her dearly departed. Shortly after Maame shared her story, I read about the gruesome killing of Major Mefful, a UN staff, Light House Chapel Pastor and Learned Fellow in Afghanistan. From the tributes read, I gathered that Major Mefful’s stalwart commitment and service to his Church and the UN was commendable. On TV, I listened to the heroic deeds of our war heroes. And who could have missed Michael Jackson’s passing last year? The list goes on…

    Well, my friends, it’s about time that I resolve to give more of myself to my loved ones. I may not be able to have as huge of an impact as our celebrities, but I should be able to shine in my corner. Therefore, please join with me, in my quest to be a better person. Happy New Year to us all.
