The other day, I urged you to look back on 2008 and acknowledge the good things that happened in your life.  Today, I will share with you 5 of my highlights.

1.  Started my new business:  New Leaf Touchstone

2.  Celebrated my 17th wedding anniversary

3.  Reconnected with an old college friend who I hadn’t seen in over 20 years

4.  Met hundreds of amazing people in the course of living my life

5. Sponsored the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention “Out of the Darkness” Walk in Boston

Although some of these may not sound like big deals, they are but a few of the many things that made for a rich and happy 2008 for me.  When I stopped to think about it, choosing only 5 from the many wonderful things that happened for me this past year was hard.  And, yes, there were some bad times too, but I took the time and space to learn from them and move forward.  And, I will enter 2009 hoping for more great things, accepting that there are no peaks without the valleys, committing to learning from it all and sharing whatever and whenever I can, to help others be their best!
