Happy New Year! I’m so grateful of your support of this blog that has grown so much this past year and I wish you all happiness and great success in this New Year!
Often people attempt to live their lives backwards:
they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more
of what they want so they’ll be happier.
The way it actually works is the reverse.
You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do,
in order to have what you want!

A lost comment where I received an interesting message. LOL! I’ll send it to you.
I love your blog, Manuela. It is filled with great tips and fun ideas. Happy New Year.
Manuela says
What message did you receive? Aack I’m having such issues with my blog – it’s grown so much they have to move me to a dedicated server next month and I’m having all kinds of issues right now that won’t be resolved until they move me. I don’t even get my comments emailed to me anymore. Sometimes I don’t know that people commented until I actually go to my blog and click on comments.

I reread the same book yearly for my morning inspiration. It helps me to refocus.

Happy New Year! I have been wanting to do a chalkboard like yours. Did you make it and post about it? I would love to read your link.
Manuela says
Happy New Year Terri! I did do the chalkboard, but no I didn’t post about it. So you didn’t miss anything.
