Choices
As I continue my journey I am learning to accept that living hapily is a choice. No matter how situations come my way it is my choice to decide whether it's a bad experience of a learning experience. As I approach the close of another year of my life (on December 23), my primary desire is to accept the lesson from every experience and continue to grow.

One of the choices I have made is to become truly vested in the projects that ignite my passion. So in a leap of faith I have resigned from the full-time position I've worked for the last 5 1/12 years. As of mid-January I will be able to dedicate the ample amount of time required to being a working musician and a budding entrepreneur.

I have received such great responses from last month's newsletter and am so encouraged by your words and wishes of support. Through you words, I became aware that the choices I've made for myself tend to inspire those around me to seek a better place for themselves. Remember if you have something inspiring you'd like me to share here just drop me an
email.
Quote of the month
The story they'll tell about you is the same one you have the power to write and tell about yourself. If you don't like the way your story is unfolding, take heart. You can start a new chapter today. Sit down and begin to compose the story you want to be able to tell a year from now. -- Walt Goodridge (The Passion Profit)
