Another year is over and a new year begins in less than 12 hours.  Last year I wrote a letter to myself listing all of my accomplishments of 2004.  With so much negativity bombarding us in the news on a daily basis, I endeavored to focus on the positive aspects of the year.  I cannot express how surprised I was when I read the letter.  

Was that only a year ago?  It seemed so far away that I took the time to verify and sure enough

those accomplishments were made in 2004.  I thought of the many starts, stops, mis-steps and dreams of the last 12 months.  Sometimes I felt like a failure, and other times I felt like a winner, but at all times I felt that the journey to achievement of my destiny was a fascinating one.   I met some incredible women this year and spoke to thousands of women all over the United States about their dreams and aspirations.  I have a much better understanding of the many obstacles women face not only in the business world but also in their personal life. 

I colaborated with women from all over the world and connected on a deep level with all of them.  My mission to empower, connect, achieve equality and elevate the standard of living for women worldwide is stronger than ever.  I know that I am on my path and am dedicated to helping 10,000 women by the year 2015. 

So I declare 2006 The Year to Face my Fears.  I will take the road less traveled and look forward in anticipation and optimism to next 12 months. 

I have to go now, there's a letter I need to write to myself about the accomplishments of the last 12 months.  I encourage you to do the same and when you do, come back to this blog and share your comments.
