Most of us are familiar with this scene from  Snow White  in which the queen asks the mirror for answers. In the new year I would like to encourage us all to do something very similar. It may be a bit intimidating for some of us, but it will be well worth it and will lead to an increased sense of self-satisfaction and growth as the year progresses.  Before we get to this fun, enlightening and easy new tool, allow me to share a quick back story on how this came to my attention.
