Hope you all enjoy another evolutionary year of wonder, joy, laughter and continued fulfillment in life and pocketbook. I grew so much this past year, learned so much and enjoyed so much happiness, I thank each of you for touching my life and making it shine a little more. Efrat is here from NYC, and we are having a really nice time together after so many years. She taught me to make this amazing salmon, and we got to go walking and singing. She sang You've Got a Friend, as her very 1st karaoke song, and she sounded so pretty. We're not sure what all we plan for New Year's Eve... but it should be fun, whatever it is.

Before Efrat's trip, Vig and Ajay, my cousins, had hung out for Christmas and we wore our little ears and stepped out to an Indian restaurant Christmas day. I can only imagine what our fellow eaters were thinking when they saw us all geared out elf and reindeer style! While they were here, we ate great indochinese at Temptations and hung out at Buddha Lounge. We had gone singing at Blue Max with Kat Collins and then we talked and drank whiskey in my kitchen that night until 7:30 am the next morning! The best part of the conversation must have happened around 4 am when it turned to spirituality and religion which we all gravitate to discussing even while sober!

 

Anyway, wherever you are when you read this, and whatever you are doing, I hope you take a minute to close your eyes and send out a prayer/wish/thought for someone out there who may need it. And I hope you get to relax and enjoy 2008, after all the hyperwork we've been putting in these past few years. Its time we all take a deep breath and really try to practice work/life balance.

 

Lots of love and wishes for all...

 

XOXO,
