Hi everyone, welcome to at home with Sally. I'm Sally Clarkson and I have the biggest

privilege in the world to be with so many friends from all over the world who join me every

week to listen to my stories, inspiration, biblical encouragement and I am just so glad

that you're here today. Thanks so much for joining me.

Hello my friends, it's Sally Clarkson and surprise, surprise. I am putting a podcast out

on a Friday because I wanted to give a gift to all of you all who have been writing me

and talking to me about the life giving home and give you some little prompts, some questions

for the period of time that you're in, for the age of your children, for your personality,

what are some of the things you want to plan this year to cultivate and create a loving,

beautiful, a peaceful atmosphere in your life giving home. And so I thought right before

New Year's as everybody is getting involved in so many different things that I would just

do a short podcast for you and ask you some questions to help you really start your

New Year with some ideas and some thoughts. And so here we go. I know I personally like

the feel of January because it gives me a sense of something new and refreshing. I can

put away the past things, the failures or the discouragements or just some of the burdens

I carried or some of the things I accomplished. And I can, I love New Year's, it's kind

of new and refreshing. It's the feel of a new raw beginning with fresh goals. And so there

are so many people who have written me to ask me what are some of my suggestions about

this or that. So I thought I would do just a few questions for you today. And long term,

if you would like to get printables or if you would like to see these printables, perhaps

you don't have Instagram or you aren't able to get it another way, if you sign up at
