HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2013

WELCOME

IT IS FINALLY A NEW YEAR AFTER WHAT HAS POSSIBLY BEEN THE MOST SIGNIFICANTLY LIFE CHANGING YEAR OF MY LIFE THUS FAR

WITH MANY THINGS LOST IN 2012, THERE WERE ALSO MANY THINGS GAINED

AND 2013 OFFERS ITSELF AS SOMETHING POSITIVE, FRESH AND MUCH LIKE THE FIRST FEW HOURS OF THE YEAR, FULL OF SUNSHINE, BUBBLES AND WONDERFUL FRIENDS BOTH OLD AND NEW

SPEAKING WITH ONE OF THOSE OLD FRIENDS ONLY DAYS AGO, I BEGAN TO THINK ABOUT LIFE CHANGING MOMENTS

GRANTED ALL MOMENTS CHANGE YOUR LIFE IN SOMEWAY OR ANOTHER

BUT THESE MOMENTS ARE DIFFERENT, THESE ARE MOMENTS WHERE BY YOU MEET A STRANGER

AND FROM THAT MOMENT YOU CREATE A STITCH IN TIME

LET'S CALL THEM A DOMINO

YOU MEET THEM AND A LIFETIME OF LINKS BEGIN

SO FAR IN LIFE I THINK I HAVE MET 2 

(YES I KNOW THAT SOUNDS LIKE VERY FEW, BUT THINK ABOUT THE LINKS YOUR FRIENDS HAVE WITH OTHERS IN YOUR LIFE, FOLLOW THAT PATH BACK TO WHERE IT ALL BEGAN, YOU'LL PROBABLY FIND YOU ONLY HAVE A HANDFUL).

PEOPLE WHO CHANGE THE PATTERN OF YOUR LIFE SO SIGNIFICANTLY, THAT YOU CAN'T BEGIN TO IMAGINE EVER NOT KNOWING THEM.

I BEGAN MY NEW YEAR WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE THE RESULT OF THE DOMINO EFFECT

THEY ARE A MAGICAL WEB OF FRIENDS FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE, PEOPLE WHO LOVE MUSIC, EACH OTHER, HAVING FUN, BEING PART OF A "TEAM", AND WHO ARE AMONGST THE MOST GENUINE CREATURES I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED.

WALKING IN SOMEONE ELSE'S FOOTPRINTS THROUGH THE SAND AS YOU ALL WORK TOWARDS THE GREATEST NEW YEARS EVE PARTY EVER CREATED IS HOW MY LAST HOURS OF 2012 WERE SPENT

LAUGHING, WORKING TOGETHER AND SMILING, APPRECIATING THE STARS AND 

ENSURING EVERYONE HAD A GLASS OF PUNCH AND A SPARKLER IN HAND.

I AIM TO SPEND AS MUCH OF THE COMING YEAR DOING THE SAME
