My Wish for You in 2009

Wow, what an incredible year and as it is coming to a close I have been reflecting on what has happened and each event has made me a better person. I have continued to grow my Liberty League business, watched Vanesa flourish with her photgraphy and also started instructing karate. It has been so amazing to watch the 5 most important people in my life grow through their experiences this year.


Noah 3, is growing into his personality and that is always so fun to watch. He has jokes, sad faces and mad faces. I love the mad faces the most because a big hug always follows and I think they are cutest. He is talking up a storm and loves to have conversations with everyone. He is starting to work on addition, GO NOAH!!! He also just jumped on the Karate mat this Friday for a class at Ninja Night, he is ready to join the rest of the family on the mat.


Christian 6, started Kindergarten this year, how fast the time flies. He is at the top of his class in every category, including talking, lol. We all knew that was going to happen, and that's one of the many things I love about him. He is still a character and always knows what he wants with such a certainty that it constantly inspires me to stretch myself, so thank you for that my Christian.


Marcus Jr. 8, has become quite the student athlete. He is also quite a spelling expert, he is consistently getting 100%'s on his tests as well as being a mathematical ACE. As for hoops, it is always amazing so watch him play. Coaching him has been so much fun and be able to watch him play up close and personal has been incredible. He has a gift that allows him to move on the court and he seems to see things before they happen, it is truly amazing.


What a freshman already? Katrina 14? Yes, it's true. I still remember her as that little girl with a mouse voice with curls to match. She is now becoming a young woman and I still have my hair, although there is grey now, haha. I was very impressed this year with Trina's determination to pass her Black Belt exam. She threw up in the first 30 minutes but kept going for the next 5 hours and 15 minutes. She defintely earned her belt and hopefully gained a new respect for herself. Way to go Trina!


I am so amazed on what a special photographer Vanesa has become. She has grown in her photography but also as a person and that's is so beautful to experience. Having a front row seat and watching her throughout her development of her business has been so impressive. She has branded herself, created an amazing website and managed a crazy Holiday season of photosessions. Vanesa has also mentored a very talented young photographer, Britney Nicole. This year V has shown the world what a strong, powerful and compassionate woman she is. I have known it all along, I love you honey.


And me, Vanesa said I was supposed to write about me. Well, as I look back on the year I realize and remember why I wanted to work from home in the first place. You just read about it. My family. They are the reason I do what I do for a living. I could sit and write about being a coach, volunterring at school, getting into a new house or instructing karate and earning a Black Belt. All of those things impacted my life and the lives of others and I don't discount them. But most important to me is the inner circle. So in 2009, I am taking the lead and doing my part to make my inner circle that much stronger. As it grows stronger so do I. And I as improve and grow I can help others do the same.

So my wish for all of you, is that you grow your inner circles love and power this year. I am so grateful for all of you and I wish you the absolute best year ever. Make your 2009 special.
