Happy New Year!  And as with all good New Years, we find ourselves reflecting back and looking forward.  I am going to spare you the reflective rhetoric but 2008 was an extraordinary year. A year of successes and challenges. A year of growth and yet at times, uncertainty.

I took more time than anticipated this holiday season to look back, take stock and set my sights on the year ahead.  I have been absent from the blogisphere for a while (no excuses…lets just chock it up to an introspective time) but plan to change that in the year ahead.

So to kick off the new year, here is a list of my pseudo resolutions

•    Blog more (because I love to write)
•    Read more (other than fashion magazines and technology websites)
•    Eliminate some of my less-likeable personalities (That’s for you AmyO)
•    Try one new marketing idea a month…even when no one wants “new”
•    Laugh more (and less loudly)
•    Grace
•    Care more…and in some cases…care less

Who really knows what the year holds, but I do know that it is a year that will be defined by character.

It is going to be a very good year
