December 2005

Happy New Year!

We made it through 2005. As always, there were many challenges we faced, we embraced, and ultimately mastered, and learned from them. Also, there were many opportunities, some clearer than others, that we profited from to grow as individuals.

Some of us lost love ones along the way and rejoiced by remembering the good times we had with them. Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers go out to the unfortunate victims of the Tsunami, Katrina, and other natural disasters. May their spirit overcome the challenges before them to find the seeds of inner strength, health, happiness and prosperity in their lives. These unfortunate situations serve as a sobering reality check for all of us to live life to its fullest for we do not know what tomorrow brings.

Joy and I look forward in 2005 to making a positive difference in your lives so that you can make a difference in others. Our wishes for you are the following:

• May you continue to grow as individuals by asking the "right questions" to receive the "correct" information in which to make your life better.

• May you hold strong to your values and ideas while seeking to learn and respect other's values and ideas. Remember, we can always "agree to disagree."

• May you further develop the "sixth sense" to make the right decisions.

• May you continue to help others grow so that you grow.

• May you take time to create balance (work your life balance sheet) in all aspects of your life so that you find peace within you and with others.

On that note,

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, and have a Great Holiday Season to the Rest of the Great Religions in the World!

We are wishing everyone (whether you celebrate a holiday or not) a happy, healthy, and prosperous time of year and an outstanding New Year. It's a great time of year to take a step back, be with family, assess your accomplishments for the year, and become excited about the new opportunities in 2006.
