Today marks the end of a pretty tumultuous year for me!

I recall the statement I made at the end of 2007... it read, "2007 was a bad year, 2008 will be a year for healing, and 2009 better look out for Keyan!".

I never realized that 2008 would be equally tough, if not more so, than 2007. With that being said, I learned an awful lot about life and those that live in it. I've created boundaries for myself & others that I never really entertained or set forth before. I understand all to well the phrase, "Keep your friends close, and keep your enemies even closer". Not that I consider anyone to be my enemy, I've just learned that we as sinners, & human beings in general will stop at nothing to get our way in life.... even hurt those that were at one time the closest & dearest to our lives!

I'm not saying that there will be no lasting effects carried over from 2008 but I promise God, myself & the rest of the world that it will be 110% better... especially from a mindset point of view!

So I'll say it again... Goodbye 2008, Hello 2009 & many beautiful years to come...

......HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
