Hi!

Just a short New Year hello! I hope your plans for the coming year proceed with the zest they deserve and the care that you provide for them. I'm still in the throngs of my career search; since this is going to many of my friends, some of you may not be aware that I left my business ownership. And, I'm currently in search of a career that will fit a spot in my heart yearning for fulfillment. Some of my current interest have surrounded conservation, writing, and recently education.

You can never be too sure of where life will lead you, but my good friend Barbara Babkirk has taught me to trust my heart and follow it. It can be hard at times. I left a business that was created by my father over forty-five years ago; it was a heart wrenching experience. Running the business was a fulfilling job that provided a family of customers to tend to. I miss that family at times, but I know that the future has a bright and exciting path for me to follow. A path guided by the light of my heart.

We all have cross roads we come to in life. They can be viewed as mishaps or as adventures. It all depends on how you focus your lens. The past year has brought many surprises for me. I found out that I was diagnosed with dyslexia at a young age; thank God for the computers that help me with my writing adventures. I also found out that my eyes are faltering, my mid-life drift is expanding, and I have strong desire to consume chocolate.

I want to wish you well in your adventure of life. Remember, if you want to change something, it takes work and courage. But you can do it. I know you can. That little engine inside you can dig its way out of any hole. Just give it a chance and you'll see how strong The Little Engine That Could will become The Little Engine That Can.

God Bless and Happy New Year

Mrac - I mean Marc.....
