Congrats on making the switch! Hi Lenora! Great to hear from you – I really enjoyed our chat too; between
you and Grace I feel lucky to be in on the Boyle secret! You are both
amazing, and I really look forward to keeping up with both of you this year.
I love the Goethe quote you shared, and can't wait to go check out your new
blog. Congrats on making the switch!

Congrats on your award winning blog too. I love Goethe . I referred to him in my new blog, (switched from blogger to wordpress to usher in the new year), so change is on my mind for the new year. ”We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise, we harden…” --Goethe<br>Here's to a powerful new year!<br>Lenora Boyle Jenny,

SUCH a good reminder to give people the benefit of the doubt,<br>just like you said. And to recognize that most of us are all good people,<br>trying to do well for the world (and our friends and families). If we can<br>remember how much we all have in common, and how much we all have ups and<br>downs - then I think we can learn to live in a way that emphasizes the<br>positive and not the negative. I agree - living life as a pessimist is no<br>way to live at all! It's a recipe for misery, if you ask me. Have a great<br>week, and thanks again for stopping by! Thanks Matt!
