He has emailed me periodically over the years. His words are always so uplifting and inspirational. He seems like one happy artist! I think his exuberance for life is evident in the picture of the envelope he sent you. He is my kind of creative guy!! Bob Ragland cracks me up! He has emailed me periodically over the years.

Congrats Cynthia on your 10 years anniversary. I enjoyed this post and learning a little about both Bob Ragland and Gary Michael. Regarding Gary's yearly self portraits, I like that idea and wish I had been that clever years ago. No better time than the present. Best wishes to all for year of growth and opportunity. As Bob so aptly said, "Tough times never last, tough people do." Glad you are back safely, Alyson. Congrats Cynthia on your 10 years anniversary.

I, too, like to decorate my envelopes, if for no reason than to give the postal people a zip of color. I plan to generate buzz in 2009 by celebrating 10 years in business. I remember years ago hoping I'd make it to this milestone anniversary. And I did! I plan to yuck it up in many creative ways. Stay tuned! p.s. and hooray for debt-free! This is an inspiring post!

I worked hard to achieve my debt-free status and it's been that way for some years now. Economic issues take on a totally different perspective when you don't have to think about servicing debt any more. I also decided a while back that I was no longer interested in new cars and that every car I bought was going to go on for as long as it goes. That's partly me being sensible budget wise and partly me being 'green' and partly because my current one suits me so well I shall cry when I have to give it up finally! It's a real revelation to sit down and decide what you really need (I NEED books!) and what you can do without - and for some people it can make a huge difference to your outgoings - and your peace of mind.
