Happy New Year! Today is the first day of a new year and a new opportunity to look forward to new opportunities.
Many of you may be familiar with the tradition of eating black-eyed peas, greens and pork on New Year’s Day. If you’re unfamiliar, this customary annual dinner is meant to symbolize positive things for the year ahead.
For instance, the greens are meant to represent a financially prosperous year, the black-eyed peas symbolize prosperity and the pork, good luck. As the story goes, since the pig is unable to look side-to-side or behind itself, pork is a reminder for us to also look forward to a New Year with new possibilities.
