I hope that everyone has had a great holiday so far. I have been enjoying Christmas with my family and having a wonderful time.

This Year has been incredible since Sean is now 3 he fully understands Santa and the whole toys thing! The joy that Andrea & I have experienced this Christmas is nothing that we have had before. The kids make this time of year so much better than just celebrating by ourselves!

I have also been busy organizing and getting ready for 2008. This year is going to nothing short of SPECTACULAR! I have been learning at a great pace and looking forward to sharing my new found knowledge with all that are interested.

I have added a few programs to my portfolio and haven’t even started to market them much yet. I will be letting you know about them as time goes on.

I want to thank all of you that sent me and my family holiday wishes and cards and wish I could of done more of that myself. The truth be told, I have been so busy with my family that I haven’t done much this whole month.

I want to wish everyone a happy and safe New Year and also want to let you know that I will start to actively writing again come Monday 12/31.

I am dedicated to provide you all with important and useful information that will help you in your business and in your life.

May 2008 bring you and your family the absolute BEST that life has to offer!!

For all of you that are new to my site or do not know, I do a monthly newsletter to update everyone involved in the home business and passive income programs I am in.

(This year is going to be VERY exciting. My site and newsletter will be covering so much that I can’t even divulge now. But, you WILL want to join!)

I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble. – Helen Keller

This is a profound statement from a woman who couldn’t see or hear. Just how did she intend to accomplish anything at all, let alone “a great and noble task?”

What gumption! What fortitude! What courage!

Any task she, in spite of her limitations, managed to accomplish was great and noble, because she overcame every obstacle that life placed before her. Are we as capable as Helen Keller was? Can we at least accomplish tasks on the same level as her?

Life doesn’t expect all of us to be great or noble. All it asks of us, and what we should certainly ask of ourselves, is that we honestly, truly, completely do the very best we possibly can at all times, in everything we do. Then even the small tasks we manage to accomplish will be great and noble in their own way.

I think that the sum of many small tasks far out way the sum of one great task. It is the power that you receive from the small victories that will truly make you and your life successful.

Don’t try to just focus on the one great task and in the process lose sight of all the small and meaningful little tasks that truly make us who we are.

I want to apologize for all my newsletter members who I promised the December newsletter to last week. I had every intention of getting this done and released by Friday of last week.

Well, due to some family issues that has not been possible. Last week my Mother-in-Law was recovering from back surgery and we received more info concerning Andrea’s real father who has cancer.

At first his cancer was treatable and didn’t represent a very serious risk. Well, you know how doctors can be. They sometimes know as much as we do about this stuff. Which is not much!

Now he has to under go Chemo as well as radiation and to top it all off, he took a fall and had to be rushed to the ER.

Now, if that wasn’t enough to keep the family busy, it was Sean’s third birthday and we had a party for him at his pre-school, at our house and also had a party for him and his friends at McDonalds.

I do have several new programs to discuss and am looking into many others so I want to get this out to everyone this week.

Sorry again for the delays.

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. – Charlotte Bronte

If it didn’t rain, we wouldn’t have flowers; if we didn’t catch an occasional cold, we wouldn’t appreciate wellness quite so much; if we did not sometimes feel the pangs of hunger, we wouldn’t appreciate the warmth of a kitchen on a cold winter’s day, with the perfume of something special in the oven sweetening the air.

Adversity is as much an integral part of life as success, and it is just as important. It helps us to keep in mind just why we work so diligently to realize our dreams, our goals, our calling to our life’s work. Remember that adversity, in whatever form you may encounter it, is only a speed bump in the road of life. It’s an obstacle to get behind you, so you can continue on your way.

You will NEVER fail if you don’t try. You will also never SUCCEED!
