Start 2020 with some extra luck

As 2019 comes to an end it is time to prepare for the new year to come. We reflect on both the good and the challenging moments we faced this year past looking ahead with a glimpse of motivated hope, ready to take on new amazing challenges and invigorating opportunities.

We do so with excitement…but we certainly welcome any luck we can get. I am sure we all have our New Years Eve traditions meant to bring luck in love or on the career front, from eating certain foods, to a specific lucky charm or good luck saying and in our case good luck plants.
