Happy Holidays and May 2007 Be Your Best Year Ever!

Check our calendar for our FREE January events.

It’s sometimes difficult to think about our blessings in such financially troubling times, but this is exactly the time to reflect with gratitude. 2006 has been a year of personal growth for many, and it has made us more resilient, capable and humble human beings.

We’ve heard from so many people that 2006 has been one of the hardest years ever for personal and financial loss, and if this is you, you truly have our sympathy.

As you begin January 2007, we wish to give you three gifts:

1. An hour of personal reflection to write down the 10 things you are most grateful for in your life, and that you will tape this next to your bathroom mirror where you will see it every morning.
2. An hour to support someone who is struggling with bigger challenges with you. This can be handing out food to the homeless, talking with someone in a nursing home who does not have family to visit with anymore, supporting someone who is grieving over the loss of a spouse, parent or child, or getting involved in some other situation that you feel is worse than yours. weI can think of no better way to help you reap all the benefits from giving of yourself and for having a positive impact in someone’s life.
3. The knowledge that 2007 can and will become anything you want it to be, if you are willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen. We cannot always choose what happens to us, but we always have control of our responses.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to work with each of you. We feel so lucky to have been able to share some of what we’ve learned as we’ve successfully transitioned our careers through change and to bring people together. We’ve met so many wonderful, smart, motivating, resilient and giving people that 2006, while a tough year, will also be remembered as a year of many amazing blessings.

May all the personal and professional success you desire become yours.
