Happy New Year to all of you!
It has been an interesting year. Needless to say, my life has changed so much over the past 12 months and in such ways I never would have imagined. Setting that all aside for a moment, I wish to take just a moment to thank my friends for sticking by me. You’ve been great.
I have taken a little bit of time off from blogging to take care of some business matters. Trying to start up a new business is rather time consuming. And things have been going very well, but have also required a significant amount of attention. I apologize for seeming a bit disconnected lately and ask that you continue to bear with me.
For 2007 I am planning a few things new. I need to get my company website up and running and this will take a bit of time. But it’s the fun sort of time for me. I don’t expect it to be overwhelming in nature. I’ve got some additional people coming on board to help me and I’m grateful for that. I’m looking forward to getting back in the practice of producing a product. As I get further along, I’ll be sure to fill you in more. Right now, the only way I can explain things will be in such a way that is way too technical. But I will definitely fill you in because I believe in word of mouth advertising. I’ve done it in the past and I will continue to do it.
As far as my personal blog is concerned, I mentioned several months ago that I was going to be changing my style. I’ve done a lot over these past few months to separate myself from things, which tethered me. And over the past few months I’ve been keeping my writing relegated to simple memes. I believe that will change in 2007. I’d like to get back to doing more meaningful writing. But I’d like to target my current audience with it. I’m pretty much through with writing for a predominantly Christian audience. As I’ve discussed with numerous friends, there is a tremendous amount of re-hashing that occurs. And it’s condescending in nature towards those who are not of the same faith and belief.
But I like my current audience. It’s diverse in nature. There are folks from different backgrounds and from different beliefs who visit my site. I’d like to continue to get your input on those things that invade my thought space. After all, it’s in sharing of ideas that we continue to grow in our friendships.
Anyway, it has been a difficult year for several reasons. I’m glad it’s coming to a close and I’m looking forward to what’s ahead.
Happy New Year to you all! And thanks for coming by.

Such an interesting year it’s been…. I’m sure you and I are in the same shoes in that never in a trillion years thinking our lives would be so much different.
Change is good. Sometimes difficult, but usually for the good. And true friends stick by one another through it.
I’m looking forward to what you have ahead as well.
Happy New Year dearheart.

Oh please tell me you’re inventing affordable tampons that come disguised in a cake box so guys don’t stare us down on the way to the counter like, “Does she really need THAT many?!” Instead they think, “Ooooh she bakes.”
Happy New Year
I’m looking forward to more personal posts and less memes.

Gordan: You’ve been a great find this year! I’m very thankful for your friendship. And now that I’m a little closer to ya’, we should be able to actually hook up more.
EE: Thanks! I’m looking forward to what’s ahead for us.
Tink: As a matter of fact, that’s exactly what I was working on
LOL! Honestly, I don’t know what the big deal is. I’ve picked them up a million times. I’ve never thought anything ill about them. Just as long as you don’t use them pads that look like 3-D bumper stickers.
And I’m looking forward to less memes too.
Sarah: I certainly hope so. And keep looking forward to Vegas
