Hi Susan!! Happy New Year to you, too!! Wish you lots and lots of prosperity and good health for the new year and a wonderful 2008! Hope this time around we get a chance to meet up face to face at some point!

Really enjoyed your blog post on the 8 things meme and decided to comment over here in your business blog (Since the comments on the other personal blog are still a bit dodgy )

Not sure where the 8 things came from. I was tagged twice over a short period of time and both blog posts came to me as the 8 things meme, so thought it’d be something to do with the fact that since 5 seems to be the standard, let’s go and play it differently. Must say I’ve been reading through a bunch of the links you and Maggie generated and have found the different entries fascinating! Thanks for taking the plunge and for diving into it!

w.r.t. “Im going to start peeling back layers in 08. If I lose friends based on who I really am, those are probably friends who wouldnt sync with me over time anyway. Truthfully, Im hopeful Ill pick up a few friends in my suit who will complement my journey.“, Oh my… I’ve been thinking about this very same thing myself during the holiday break and have decided to follow a similar trend!!! Goodness, never thought I’d be relating to something like this so close to your thoughts, Susan. Scary, I tell you, but I guess that’ll help keep our relationship going!

Oh, boy, and it gets even weirder, since we seem to be sharing a similar start with our families, although mine would be at this side of the pond. Couldn’t help giggling about a couple of your comments above and perhaps something I may refer back to in an upcoming meme blog post follow up, which I am sure will come around sooner or later

Happy New Year, Susan!!
