We've had to make some very tough decisions and develop strategies to create alternative business lines. This is something we'd never have to consider or learn had it not been forced upon us by 2008. In whatever business I am in at the end of 2009 and beyond, I am sure I will be a better person for having going through 2008. Keep up the good work and have a wonderful 2009. Robert,

My advice to bloggers is: you don't have to know WHY you're writing about something but if God lays it on your heart to write about what happened to you today or what you read somewhere or how delicious your Grandma's chocolate chip cookies are then write about it! You have no idea how God is going to use what you write!

Your words do make a difference. It's why we should chose them well. I'm curious and excited about your own plans, and hope it's going to lead to something good and positive for you both. I'll be here cheering you on from the side.
