Hello everyone,

I just want to wish you all the best in 2011 as we move into a new decade today. Thanks so much for following my blog and supporting my work, I really appreciate it! I am writing from a hotel room now, but earlier tonight I was able to see the last light of the first decade of the third millennia. I was on the shore of the Pacific Ocean in Washington State and it was freezing cold with strong winds. After a few minutes my hands barely worked, but it was worth seeing the sun set over the crashing surf.

Photographer, teacher and friend Marti Jeffers wrote this on her blog and I wanted to pass it along-

“I encourage you all to focus on the wonderful person that is you, loving yourself for those things you do very well and gently encouraging yourself to make changes that you want to make in your life.”
