Happy New Year!

I've said it before, but I just love the new year. It's a clean slate for all of us, a chance to begin anew. A time to reflect on the year just past...what did we learn? What do we want to do differently in the new year? What new skills do we want to aquire or new hobbies to research?

The photo I've posted is a shot I took while hiking new years day. It made me think, what's up ahead in 2009? What new adventures are in store, what new friends shall we meet along the way, what new wonders will be discovered?

Life is full of challenges, may we muster the courage to meet them head on. Always with an open mind and open heart. Loving those around us. Giving to those in need. Learning and growing on a daily basis. Living every day as though it was our last.

Wishing you health, happiness and prosperity in 2009 and beyond!

Stay tuned for our website re-opening on Monday, January 5th.

Well...sorta. It's across 174 from Empire in the Union Hill area. Nice hiking trails there and it was such a beautiful day!
