In 2012 Gangnam Style overtook pop culture, but Jayden Style is the one I hope carries over to 2013. Jayden Lamb died after battling a rare form of cancer earlier this year and that led to a Pay it Forward movement that is now spreading across the globe. Yesterday on CBS Sunday Morning, Steve Hartman, shared Jayden’s story.

I love how the story closes when Steve asks, “How do you celebrate a holiday when so much has been taken? Just Give.” My resolution for 2013 is to give more in memory of people I really love. I hope you will join me in paying it forward for Jayden or a loved one you are missing.

Happy New Year!
