Lessons from the year 2015

This is the time of year to reflect on the year, a year in review if you will. I look back on the year 2015, and think about what I have learned in the course of the year that has been:

2015 was a magical year for me. For the first time in a long time, I am excited about the future. I know 2016 will bring the publishing of more books, more blog posts here, and more of the unknown. I welcome the future and all the experiences and blessings in the New Year to come.

I thank you for being here, for reading my words, my writing here, my letters to the moon. 
I wish you time to reflect on the year that has been, time to count your blessings, and above all, peace and happiness. 

Goodbye 2015. Welcome 2016.
