2008 will settle itself in my heart, but not as a dark cloud….as a pink glow.  I will continue to process the evidence of '08 in my journal but I am ready for what lies ahead.  I can take it.  I embrace it.  Bring it on.

    ..and I ask: “WHO was braver than YOU this year?”
    You took a large group of friends, readers and fans, and allowed us to share a very personal journey. We also remember the fantastic “how-to’s”, generously shared. Excellent links, and of course, the impressive photoshop work that keeps our eyes wide and our Creativity Sizzling. Now, we are waiting for the new line of unmounted rubber that you promised us (I am SO totally in trouble).
    Happy New Year, my girl…..toasting you, toasting Shannon.

    “Saying goodbye isn’t the end, it is the start of a memory”…
    I don’t know anymore from who this quote is, but I guess that’s what 2008 it for you : a tough year in saying goodbye, but the memories of your sister will stay alive and the whole “pink wink” and what it ment , not only for you, but for a lot of people…
    I wish you and your family a happy year, with no big troubles and worries, so you can enjoy “every day” of the new year.
    hugs and kisses from Belgium
