Cenla’s Resolutions 2011

106

Cenla's Resolutions 2011With the dawn of each New Year comes a sense of renewal, hope and excitement about the year to come. It’s also a great time to take a moment to reflect on life as a whole. One of the most popular tenants of this season is the New Year’s Resolution—a time-honored tradition of rededicating ourselves to becoming better people, both inside and out. In this spirit of renewal and improvement, we set out to ask some of you, Cenla, exactly what you have planned for 2011. Here’s what a few of the folks we asked had to say. Don’t get left out! Visit our website at www.CenlaFocus.com to add your Resolution to the comment section for inclusion in our online edition! Happy New Year!
