“Keep on beginning and failing. Each time you fail, start all over again, and you will grow stronger until you have accomplished a purpose – not the one you began with perhaps, but one you’ll be glad to remember.” ~ Anne Sullivan Macy (April 14, 1866 to October 20, 1936)
Anne Sullivan Macy was an American teacher. She was well known as Anne Sullivan and as the “instructor and companion of of Helen Keller.” [Wikipedia]

“Beginning” is a good word for the first day of a new year.
I wish you continuation of all things which are good in your life. For those things which are not as good in your life, I wish you the courage and strength to seek new beginnings.
You are divine: you contain sparks of the divine within you. You are a genius: what is it you want to do? You are brilliant: if you are seeking answers, by all means explore everything available to you; however, look within yourself for answers from what you already know.
I wish you a prosperous, successful, and happy 2011: a new year full of abundance and love.
Blessings to you and yours, Andy
