Each new year brings hopes and visions for the future. And as our clocks tick down to that final second in 2022 we all surely raise a glass to wish 2022 a fond farewell, welcoming 2023 with open arms. What are your goals and dreams for this new year? We set out to ask a few local residents and business owners about their vision for 2023.
Christine DeFilippis, PopFit Studio
Christine is a Movement Motivator/Body Liberator and the owner of Pop Fit Studio in Havertown. “I am looking forward to helping people reframe new year’s resolutions and stop beating themselves up about their bodies,” said Christine. She is also excited to help people take a happier and more accessible approach to
reach their goals in the New Year.
Rev. Kayla Sadowy, Grace Lutheran Church
As Pastor of the Grace Lutheran Church in Broomall, Kayla said she is very excited to see how Grace continues to make friends in the community and uplift people through their wellness center. “Caring for mind, body, and spirit is my call as a Christian leader, one that is too often neglected by our world,” said Kayla. “I hope we can continue to support those seeking mental health services, fitness classes, cooking classes, spiritual renewal, and all that we are striving to offer.”
Nick D’Ambrosio, Marple Civic Youth
Nick is a ninth grader at Marple Newtown High School who is involved in several activities including Marple Civic Youth (MCY), dance, Boy Scouts and student council. “I hope to keep moving the bar up on my personal best,” he said. “I want to establish a strong presence academically and in extracurriculars as I begin my high school experience.” As a member of MCY, Nick hopes to continue to foster strong relationships with members of our community. “I would love to increase joint participation between teens, businesses, the township and the school district,” he added. “I am excited to grow in leadership not just for next year but over the next four.”
Lindsey Poeth, Oasis Senior Living Advisors Mainline

Marc Belitsky, D.C. D.A.C.R.B
Dr. Marc Belitsky is the Clinical Director and Chiropractor at Broomall Total Health Center and is a Board Certified chiropractic rehabilitation doctor. In 2023 Marc wants to appreciate his health more. “We tend to take it for granted until it goes away. Then we beg and yearn to regain it,” he said. “I appreciate my well being everyday and I am lucky to have the opportunity to help my patients regain their health and quality of life. For this I am grateful.” Next year Dr. Belitsky also plans to slow down and enjoy the journey. “Society is moving too fast and is constantly overstimulated and overbooked,” he added. “This coming year I will add more down time to my schedule and enjoy life.”
Thank you to our Friends & Neighbors for sharing your hopes for this new year. Whatever your dream is for 2023, here’s to hoping it happens—and in a big way!
