Excuse Me, Are You Listening?

Dear Readers,

 

Live Simply. Take Chances. Love people!  Our mantra for 2012 is derived from our current and past sense of renewal. We love Lansing.  We love Michigan.  We have hope and suggest that you find it in your soul as well.  The new year will be particularly interesting as I move into new spaces and leave sluggish spaces in the past.  We are ushering The New Citizens Press right along as well. 

Dear Readers,

 

 

It is a very interesting time.  I become very concerned when people say, “They are taking the Christ out of  Christmas”.  Who is “they”?   When I see statements like that and how many people believe that I am kind of confused.   Who is waging this new world religious psychological warfare? No one can take the Christ out of  my Christmas.   How does one believe that “they” are in control of what “you” believe?  Sounds, tricky to me.  When I see Christians being mean about it and using aggressive language, in my humble opinion, those types of statements do nothing for peace, joy and happiness on earth.  Behaving badly over saying “Happy Holidays” is not very Christ-like.  We live in an amazing world with so many different people and we should embrace who we are and respect who they are. 

Dear Readers,

 

Thanksgiving is a very special time for most.  It is a time when friends and family should be giving thanks for all of the blessings that have been bestowed upon them during the year.

Dear Readers,

 

I have been head over heels in love with life these days.  Things are going good.  I have loyal friends.  Business is getting better.  I am more focused.  I am branching out more.  I spend a lot of time on the phone and email with non related business issues.  I am cutting back.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My mother conjures memories of recycling in a whole new and different way. I wonder if I am living up to her expectations? 

 

Dear Readers,

 

Surround yourself and your family with healthier and happier people and great things will begin to happen!

Dear Readers,

 

There was no way to prepare for it.  When Captain called, I checked my calendar hoping that I had appointments but I did not.  My calendar was totally open for Labor Day.  I told him to check and see if the place was open.  What facilities are open on a state holiday?  I was pensive, not really afraid because I just knew the place would be closed.  

Dear Readers,

 

When was the last time you had an entirely happy summer?  I have had just that.  It has been filled with good friends and good times.  I am feeling so amazing!
