Happy New Year!

Greetings and Happy New Year!

May 2008 be your year for accomplishing all that you set out to do. I plan to seize the day! Everyday! Life is short and I plan to be exhausted in the end. Nothing reminds me more of just how important this is than when someone dies. For us, 2007 brought two deaths to our family in a span of about one month. We said good-bye to 2007 with another family member passing. This has been an especially difficult year for our family as well as our extended family. So, I resolve to be exhausted!

On the upside, we welcomed our daughter, Zara, into the world. What a fabulous experience this has been so far. She is a smiling, laughing and curious girl with lots to say. We also relocated personally and professionally. Moving to the country has proven to be a great decision. We are more relaxed and our son LOVES the new place. On Christmas morning, we were visited by a peacock! He likes to hang out on our deck and peak inside. Zain is fascinated!

Closing and relocating The Tea Trove is in phase one of completion. Nearly everything is out of the store and in Fremont. Here's a tip: I don't recommend moving a business in winter.

We are so excited to be making positive changes for 2008! We hope you are too!

Cheers!
