Could this be a great year? So far so good.

Starting a new year is always exciting. What does it hold for me? What
will it bring? What changes will happen?

This year what has been exciting me the most is what it is bringing to
other people so far. More and more of my friends have found someone or
something that makes them happy. That is spectacular.

We have all had those moments in our lives where things just are not
the best. Just to show up to work is a task and the personal life is
like paint spatters on a canvas with no meaning.

The moment when you realize something has happened to change that is
the day you wake up smiling. Those changes are never easy. One friend
changed her life to realize a dream she had. Up With Mutts is
Elizabeth Walker's creation. She told me of her desire to help dogs
with a simple premise; Every dog has a story. Soon you will be able to
hear those here. http://upwithmutts.com/

Another friend's passion for the uniqueness of the 19th century spirit
absinthe sent him on a quest to create his own to share. After years
of research and hard work Graham Wasilition's Tenneyson Absinthe
Royale is now available. Congratulations as every time our paths cross
you look happier and happier! http://www.Tenneyson.com/

Another friend who has a hard time finding her own happiness in work
and personal lives seems to be getting hers on track. The change in
her life started from a moment that was challenging to her. She worked
to get past it and in the process found a path to a new career and
friends. This is a friend I could not be more proud of and am very
lucky to know her.

Work passion is one thing. Personal lives and family is the most
important thing and always the hardest for some to keep afloat. A
friend gets that spark because they have found someone that they make
and makes them happy. Where that spark goes is up to them but to be
part of their journey is a thing of wonder. The best part about this
is that is happening to so many of my friends right now. Seeing you
find that means more to me than you realize friends. Nothing but well
wishes on where this journey will take you.

Now after you have read this you may wonder why write this? Perhaps
it's a reminder to all of us that good things happen when you work for
it. Maybe it's just to make you have a warm fuzzy feeling inside after
you wake Monday morning. But one thing is for sure... It is also a
thank you to those who have included me in their lives and shared many
fun times.

Happiness is infectious. That is what is so fantastic about it. To be
continued....
