I am a firm believer that we are simply no more than our attention. Many of you have noticed that I haven’t been writing that much on my Blog, of recent. The reason has been because of the changeover, or the New Year.

I believe everyone needs to take time from his busy schedule to reflect on the world around him. Many people go, in and out, of each New Year and right into the next, without reflecting on last year’s success and its failures.

Around November through December, is when I began the process of self- inventory. Which is no easy process, let me tell you. But it was a process that I could not ignore.

In my evaluation I discovered in 2006 my focus was on becoming a voice for the common man. I wanted to be one of the capable, who would champion the cause of the weak and the incapable in this war of the riches. That is, what the fuss really is all about anyway- the riches. Thankfully, no one has to assume, why we struggle, like we do. The explanation of want and desire heralds every conflict worldwide. The poor want this and the rich want to keep that; and, we struggle.

In coming out of 2006, which for me was a year of revolution and revelation I have decided to make 2007 the year of peace and focus.

I realize man cannot help wanting the things he wants. And I know the reason or reasons will always be personal and justifiable in his mind. That would lead me to the discovery that in the absence of the struggle is peace. And, peace is what we need most above all things.

While we move into the New Year, the Year 2007, I want to encourage all of you to embrace the New Year and focus on whatever it is, you love.

Peace,
