Happy New Year!!

On this last day of 2013, I want to wish all of my readers a very happy secular new year.  A few wishes for the year ahead:

May your year be one of blessing-- for you and for everyone you love.

May your year be one of health-- may you and everyone you love be released from suffering and pain, especially if any of those that you are praying for are children.

May your year be one of professional success and fulfillment.

May your year be one of personal growth, relaxation, and time to savor special moments.

Let 2014 be a year when our children thrive, our families and friends prosper, and people around the world are released from suffering.

And if I can sleep an extra hour each night that would be great too.

AMEN!
