New year, new me (more or less). I will admit that I am a big New Year’s resolutions gal.

If you’re looking for unique, achievable resolutions, look no further than Life Kit’s Resolution Planner. From staying limber in 2023 to finally sitting down to write your will, you’ll find guides to goals you’ve been wanting to tackle, or new ones you hadn’t yet thought of.

A concert to start the year. Start the year with an intimate performance from The Smile, a concert that Bob Boilen, producer of Tiny Desk Concerts, describes as his “musical highlight” of 2022. “We hear the vocals, guitar, bass and drums weaving so perfectly with lyrics that remind us how fragile our lives are and for me how these magical moments can be transcendent,” says Boilen. Watch HERE.
And please...stay safe, friends.
