New beginnings is what metanoia is all about. And it happens every time you make it happen. You don't have to wait until a new year draws near, or a new month, or a new day. It can start right now.
Metanoia means turning around, change of heart, conversion. In plain language, metanoia is an ancient way of reminding ourselves that we are not set in cement. We have and can and should turn our face toward the face of God every time the thought comes to us. Each turning brings our souls and minds closer to the unseen reality of the Divine. And you can not come close to the Divine without it changing you in some way.
Metanoia. Turn, O soul, toward the light. Turn where grace is found. Turn and see, for life is better than you first understood. Turn to glimpse the Divine in readiness to take your hand and lead. Turn that you may walk the path destined for you. Turn that you may let his face shine upon you and give you peace.
