Happy New Year!
Hope your year is off to a great start! In this January 2014 edition of the Communique' I share a few of my favorite things.
One of my Christmas presents was the Mary J. Blige CD "Mary Christmas." I loved the songs and was especially moved by her version of "A Few of My Favorite Things."
That song prompted me to think about my favorite things over the past year...powerful books I read, cool speaking venues, fun activities and quotes to contemplate.
Some of those favorite things are included below. Enjoy!!!
I look forward to connecting with you in 2014!
All the best,
Communication Expert, Speaker & Author of the book
