Greetings and Salutations -

We have a new year to enjoy! A year of opportunities and adventures. Who knows what blessings it will bring!

A great way to start is to look at one's goals and projects with fresh eyes. Those small steps add up over time! Let me know when you're free the week of January 23-29. Which days and times work best for you for an editor chat? We'll talk about goals and task setting. In the meantime, send along to me what you'd like to work on over the coming year, be it professional or personal. I'll arrange chats and projects to help in those directions!

One of my personal quests is to fill in the empty sites on BellaOnline so we can all thrive. Here are the top ten sites which are currently empty. If you'd like to apply for one of these, or know someone who would be a perfect fit, please let us know!

1: exotic pets
2: dreams
3: quotations
4: hair
5: dating
6: anime
7: meditation
8: African culture
9: reading
10: birds

We continue to have hiccups in our mail server - it should be running again - which seems to trace to hackers guessing our mail accounts which use simple passwords. I'd like to ask again that everyone use a longish password for mail. The shorter ones are just too easy for automated routines to guess at. Over the coming week I'll do a test on each email address to make sure the mail is getting through properly. Please watch for that test email and respond so I know the mail is working properly.

I look forward to hearing about your goals and dreams! I have a free book on creating a vision statement, available in all major formats, available here -

Let me know if you can't get to that for some reason and I can send you an EPUB, MOBI, or PDF version.

Have a great weekend!

Sincerely,


Lisa Shea, owner
