As we start the new year –

 

The rampage of newly engaged couple frantically making calls and sending emails to get prices, information on services, rushing to lock in dates…

 

The de-decking of the halls, packing away treasured ornaments, decorations, and favorite new gifts…

 

The one stack that caused me pause … was a tiny little stack on my work table … it caught my eye and made me smile as much as all of the cherished gifts, family time and collectibles of the holidays…

 

It was a small stack of four or five cards –

 

One from a client who will soon be celebrating their fifth wedding anniversary, just wanting to tell me how much a part of that day I remain in their life.

 

The second card was from a client who after several unsuccessful attempts to get pregnant is now expecting their first child.

 

The third from another client who just gave birth to an adorable baby girl…and the last from a recent client sharing the good news of bringing home a new puppy…

 

As small and insignificant as that stack of cards might seem…it reminds me of how much I love what I do…

 

Wishing you a 2007 filled with Hearts, Health, and Happiness
