Hi Friend
What a fascinating week! If you were like many people you watched the inauguration of President Obama and were moved to tears.
What was his election platform? Hope.
Obama was elected on a groundswell of hope for better things for the future. He certainly has his challenges ahead of him .
Going back to Greek mythology, when Pandora released all the ills on the world one good thing was also released - hope. Hope is one of the most powerful human emotions and can sustain focus during trying times. Loss of hope is often linked to loss of life. May we always continue to hope.
Obama also talked about rolling up our sleeves and getting back to work, so in that vein this week's newsletter is all about practical work "stuff".
