No matter what Halloween persona you take on you always come back to yourself. Consider taking inventory now, shedding the old skin, making room for the new. And as calendar pages run out to soon be replaced with new ones, as 2014 comes to a close, we need to take a deep breath.

Is there something you are still holding onto? Why do you think you are still holding on to that?
