Happy 2014!   A fresh new year, perhaps the start of something different, or an enterprising approach to something more familiar?

I had the opportunity to meet a variety of different people over the past few weeks, many from different parts of the world. Our conversations were interesting and fun, because even if we did not speak the same language, we still managed to share information. It's amazing what body language, a smile and laughter can convey.

I compared those experiences to a conversation I had with someone just recently.
