And hello to a brand new chance for exciting things…sharing ideas, being creative, making new friends, and most of all, writing new stories! I can’t wait for this year to unfold around us, carrying us along on a magic carpet ride of adventure! Or not. Don’t forget, you have to weave your OWN magic carpet, and be open to having new things happening every day. I mean, it’s not like Bob’s Storm Door & Magic Carpet Ride Company will show up in your driveway, honking the horn, and yelling “All Aboard For Adventure!”

So, no matter what happened in 2014 to keep you from reaching your goals, a new year is the perfect time to take stock…and take CONTROL. After all, you’re driving this bus. (Did I just switch vehicles in mid-analogy?) Remember, you can make it happen, but only through hard work and dedication. Become a better, stronger writer. Learn a new marketing strategy. Manage your time better. Just don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do it. You can!

Believe in yourself. That’s my wish for you in 2015.

Happy New Year!
