E-Paradise Newsletter
January Edition
|
|
| Greetings!
Welcome to our January edition of E-Paradise.
Well Happy
New Year! What a great celebration
we had on the islands. This month we will share with you our New Year's resolution.......and that is to be more Posititive
and Optimistic. Not to sound like Pollyanna
but we feel completely positive and optimistic about 2010 and hope to inspire
others to do the same!
Yes we need
to exercise, eat right, rid ourselves of bad habits etc. but practicing positive
thinking and optimism will be the vehicle to drive us there and to all the
things we want to accomplish this year.
A New Year automatically gives us an optimistic feeling that things are
new, fresh and going to be better so let's just go with that feeling and spread it around.
What a phenomenal beginning we had to
this New Year.........a rare Blue Moon......now that alone makes you think that this year
is going to be special. We are going to
briefly reflect on the past with 2009 4th quarter sales, give you
a glimpse of ringing in the New Year island style and encourage you to join us in
thinking positive.
Finally We'll remind you of some great Real Estate opportunities on the Islands!
Join with us in setting the intention that 2010 is going to be a "TEN"!

Recipe of the Month

Now that's Soul Food.........Sing it!
Accentuate the Positive
You've
got to accentuate the positive,
Eliminate
the negative,
And
latch on to the affirmative,
Don't
mess with Mister In-Between.
You've got to spread joy up to the
maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have
faith or pandemonium's
Li'ble
to walk upon the scene.
(Bridge)
To illustrate my last remark
Jonah
in the whale, Noah in the ark.
What
did they do just when ev'rything looked so dark?
Man,
they said "We'd better accentuate the positive
"Eliminate
the negative
"And
latch on to the affirmative -
Don't
mess with Mister In-Between,
no, no, Don't mess with Mister In-Between."
Lyrics by Johnny
Mercer
Performed
by such greats as Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, The Andrew Sisters, Ella
Fitzgerald and Willie Nelson.
