Happy New Year 2009!!!

Well, the outstanding fireworks off the Sydney Harbour have come and gone.... and it's the New Year in the Southern Hemisphere now... So... I want to wish you ALL a STELLAR New Year... 

In light of all the battles and wars  going on in the world right now, I would like to dedicate a silent thought/prayer out to those who are suffering.  Let us take a moment to mediate/pray/whatever it is you do... to send out thoughts to those whose New Year WON'T be spent in celebration... It's a sad state of the world... but I would also like to give thanks for all that I have and all who I am.

I wish you all a very Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year. May 2009 bring us closer together, unite us in PEACE, and open our hearts to those who are suffering...
