Happy New Year and welcome to 2019! I know for some it’s passé to spend time reThecting on the year that was, at the start of another, but I’d like to occupy some space in this Field Notes space for that purpose.

Not every year can be summed up with a single word or phrase, but this year I believe the word “change” addresses many things that occurred in 2018. Change can be good, can be bad, can be sought out, and can be surprising. But, as Greek philosopher Heraclitus of Ephesus is credited with speaking about, the one thing change is without fail is constant.
