My New Year's Toast

I'd like to make a toast to all of you out there.  Artists, Friends, Mothers, Fathers, Sisters, Brothers, Teachers, Fans, and Lovers out there.    I want you to take a couple of minutes to think about all the things that you are thankful in your life.  Your health, your job, your partners, your family, your friends, your children, your computer, your cell phone, all the things we take for granted in our lives. 

 The soul is what makes us unique people, a human being with deep feelings and a capacity for strong relationships.  Our souls comes alive in chereished friendships, family gatherings, and the care that you bring to your home.  Sorround yourself with people who allow you to feel loved and cherished.

 Now for next year, I'd like you to dedicate this new year to you!   If you have a passion for something, go out after it.  EVEN if it means failing because trying is better than never knowing.  So, for 2009, I'd like to make a toast to all of you out there that have been living your life because you thought you were doing something because its moralistic or not doing something because the people around you won't understand or approve of it. 

LOVE YOURSELF and the rest will follow.

Happy Holidays and to a Fantastic New Year!
