Today is a special day, because it’s in celebration of a man who fought and died, with countless others – so that I could be and do what I’m doing today!

To those people, I say Thank You!

Whether you recognize his fight or not – it can be applied to everyone because persecution is the common thread that bonds us all together. In his speech – he says that we all must walk together and no man can stand on his own. No-one exists in a vacuum. One fight is everyone’s fight.

I don’t care whether you are black or white, Jewish or Catholic, straight or gay – there is someone, somewhere – in all of us – who fought, suffered, and died so that we are able to live. There are also people out there today who are still fighting – and dying.

So, it’s to all those people – past, present and future – that I say Thank You!

Also, to a single man, who had the courage and fortitude – with his words – to not only inspire a people, but also a nation – and a world.

I say – Thank You! From the bottom of my heart.

In dedication to you and the countless others…

Free at last – free at last – thank God Almighty! We’re free at last!

I hope all of you have a wonderful new year filled with hope, new beginnings, dreams realized, and options abound.

I wish you all the best!

I look forward to bringing you inspiration, new ideas, sound advice, and a bit of craziness in 2010.

I wanted to take a moment to wish all of my readers a very Merry Christmas (if you celebrate Christmas) or the best of holiday seasons (if you don’t).

Happy Holidays to everyone!
