2008 was not a good year for me
Went from corporate to a struggling freelancer
Went from happily single to wanting consistent affection from a man
Went from taking 3 big vacations a year to 1 big one (Hawaii baby) and a couple random US cities (Chicago - twice, and ATL); I love to travel so this depressed me the most of the 3...
I know some are saying... boo hoo... it could be worse... and I know that and am forever thankful for what I was blessed with this year, but I know this year was a challenge for me for a reason. A year to humble me, and help me to put things into perspective, and really be able to appreciate all the wonderful things that are to come.

The Shine will be mine in '09
I've been saying this to myself ever since my birthday in May when I first started feeling things were heading toward a steady down slide for me. I had an intuition that the rest of my year was going to be a tough one. So I embraced everything that came my way knowing that it was getting me one step closer to my triumphs in the new year.
This was well before I knew that 2009 would also bring us our 1st black president, but for me that just solidified what a great year 2009 is going to be. I can feel it in my bones and I can't wait to experience the great things the Lord is going to bestow upon my life.
First blessing came before the year even ended and that's because on monday my website finally went up and is running. Check me out if you get a minute!
So cheers to new beginnings in both life and love for all the amazing Renaissance People out there!

Yeah, it's always great when the new year arrives, gives you a time to reflect and then progress and move forward; a fresh start.
Congratulations on launching your website hun, I'm proud of you and the success you've had w/ your business and will continue to have for years to come Eb.
