In ancient Roman religion and mythology, Janus is the god of beginnings, transitions and also of gates, doors, doorways, endings and time. He is a two-faced god since he looks to the future and the past. Romans dedicated the month of January to Janus, as the bridge between past and future, the god of choices. We're all a bit like Janus in January. It is a month associated with deep reflection--known for its recaps and resolutions. The new year often starts with retrospections as we revisit/contemplate both regrets and successes then move boldly forward with hope for the year ahead.
