 Greetings! 

Happy New Year!

 

Welcome new subscribers and returning readers.This year I pondered our trip to Belize in December of 2010 and discussions with our Mayan guide of the Mayan prophecy for December 2012. He enjoyed sharing in the Mayan belief of beginnings and endings. "This isn't an ultimate ending but a transitioning." 

 

With the passing of the baton from 2012 to 2013, it is once again a time for reflecting on life as a series of beginnings and endings; dynamic and changing transitions. Welcome 2013, good bye to 2012; hello to new friends; we watch our children grow; celebrate the birthdays of our beautiful grandchildren; celebrate good health, family and friends.

 

With thoughts of this year's beginning, I have abundant appreciation for life's gifts and appreciate all of you. 

 

I work with amazing people who inspire me where ever I go. 

 

I wish you health, happiness, prosperity and Peace.

 

Judy

The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn; the bird waits in the egg; and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.
