Happy New Year! Welcome 2007

I love the first of January like I love a new car, fresh powder at Squaw Valley or a new business deal. Fresh is new, new is promise and promise is hope. Remember your first new bike or your last new car? Remember the visceral feeling of pleasure and pride that comes with having new? Having a new friend, a new partner or new pet? These are all great feelings of promise and hope. A new beginning is exciting and sometimes scary. Why? Well, a fresh start leads to the unknown, the unpredictable and in most cases the uncontrollable. Control is a myth anyway because you can’t really control anything except the decisions you make. So, if you’ve made any decisions in 2006 that you would like to take back, here’s your chance to start fresh and take a mulligan. Enjoy the fresh start and make better decisions in 2007. Happy New Year!
