We entered 2009 with an electrical charge in the air; a crisp, crackling  current that awakened our mind from a heavy stupor. Our perception of  what our future can be has been infused with innovation and originality and now is the time to break down the walls of our conventional thinking.

In other words, this is not a fortuitous time for  entertaining distractions.  We need  to be watchful of becoming discouraged if things are not moving as fast as our mental imagining. The trick this week is to give ourself enough mental breath to “realize” what we think and feel, separate and distinct from others, without escaping into imaginary flights of fancy.
