This is the time that many people make multiple promises to themselves about the things they want to do from weight loss to business and friendships. Few of those things will be as we hoped. The good news is that we each have an opportunity to determine what really matters.

This is a good time to remember that we all are here for a purpose other than ourselves; that each of us have something to contribute toward making life better for people other than ourselves. Locally, there are political and social issues that need our attention from the homeless struggle to budget deficits and local political changes like the new vacancy at the Board of Supervisor.

There is a great need for the coming together of people to help each other with a view beyond our own personal agendas. Here at the Voice & Viewpoint, we are committed to expanding our news coverage and involvement of those things important to all our communities. We welcome your help and support in this task.

In a few days, we will celebrate the birthday of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We welcome your support and participation in that effort. We will seek to help, through our publication, to expand your remembrance of Dr. King beyond the “I Have A Dream Speech” to the many challenges that remain with us today. We invite you to get involved. Join Black Men & Women United on Tuesday mornings for a Family discussion of things we determine important to each other. Just submit your email or call the office to be placed on the list. Let’s just reconnect with our New Year’s resolutions in a real and meaningful way.
