I wish you the most amazing holiday season. I know times are stressful and things are changing, but we are here as your community to support and inspire you. I value each one of you so.

This is a different newsletter. A little more personal. I wanted to let you know that Spirited Woman is going through many exciting, positive changes.

Our Spirited Woman Blogger Team is a huge success and I've made the decision to turn Spirited Woman into a leading on-line publishing company - a voice for spirited women everywhere. A daily dose of positive Spirited Woman News.

For now, I will not be leading workshops or hosting events. Our upcoming Holiday Party on December 9th will be our last "on-land" event for awhile.

It is my goal in 2009 to continue to inspire you to live life fully - with a sense of adventure, freedom, energy, fun - and to ignite change for women globally through our "blogger voices" and many other exciting online activities (we're planning an amazing event for women around the world in January!) That's my heart's desire.

I so look forward to having you involved. You are what makes Spirited Woman flourish.

I'd also like to thank our many glorious sponsors - past, present, and future - who have been a strong force in propelling Spirited Woman's growth.

On that note, our blogger team has created our first ever Spirited Woman Holiday Guide, sponsored by Budge Brown of Cleavage Creek Cellars. On Friday, I'm sending it to you as a gift! It's so fantastic.

As always, I would like to thank you for your support, comments, enthusiasm, and friendship.  For those of you new to Spirited Woman, I'd also like to welcome you to our growing numbers. YOU inspire me, always.

Happy Holidays! May the force be with you!
