The Week in Review: Flip to the Year Ahead

In Japan, where I was born and raised, New Year’s is the most important holiday. Planning your resolutions carefully and ahead of time is crucial.

Since the years are considered to be separate, New Year’s Day is a fresh start. We have a proverb which says “New Year’s Day is the key of the year.” People believe that a good beginning makes a good ending. Around this time of year, as a child, it was my tradition to sit in a warm Kotatsu with a lot of tangerines to eat and think about next year’s resolutions. Have you decided on yours?

To help you get a head start on 2014, below are some great Flipboard magazines that could help inspire your New Year’s resolutions. Flipboard wishes you and yours a happy and healthy new year!
