About Seasonal
There is something quietly powerful about the first blank page of a new year — a calendar unmarked, a morning unhurried, a chance to decide who you want to be next. Resolutions are as old as civilization itself; ancient Babylonians made promises to their gods at the new year, and the Romans offered vows at the threshold of January to the god of beginnings and doorways. Whether the goal is grand or gentle, the act of writing it down — committing it to a journal, a sticky note, the back of an envelope — is where the real turning begins.
