I just wanted to wish you a happy new year from Artantics. Last year with the pandemic and the lockdown was a challenging year for many of us. I also had to battle through a few extra challenges on top of the lockdown and pandemic particularly health wise. Which are still ongoing but on which we are not focusing. Even though last year was difficult for the whole world, I am convinced that there are still things that we can be thankful for. So I would love you to take a moment to think about those things you can be thankful for even now. It's a great habit to develop as we go into the third lockdown that most of us in the UK are living through. Its a great thing to do to keep our mental health on track so that these challenges do not take us under. Let's remain thankful for what we do have. Secondly I have been compelled to start thinking about the coming year as we 

often do at the start of the year. I have been encouraged to move forward in 

each area of my life and our lives as a married couple in business but also as a couple.

Along with artantics we run another business called Vandinterfreelancing which is all about helping small businesses keep going through this very difficult time. With Lockdown still here for many of us the temptation is to hibernate and just resign to watching Netflix or amazon etc. I mean what else is there to do if we cannot go out. Well I want to encourage you to think about and make steps to move forward, drop by my forum to let me know how you are going to move forward in this first month of the year. I would love to hear from you :)
