A Christmas Wish
Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009Hello Fans and Global Citizens,
It’s time for me to send you my Christmas Wish.
May all the days of all the years that God may have in store be filled with Joy and Peace to bless you more and more.
May the happiness of Christmas be in your heart to stay, and to brighten all your moments long after Christmas day.
Wishing you the cherished beauty of the season.
To make it more meaningful, I selected for you one quote of one of my mentors, Paul Coelho.
In his book, The Alchemist, he wrote “The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the World, and never to forget the drops oil on the spoon.”
Finally, I will share with you a video which means a lot to me, and I am sure will also inspire you.
The video is about Phil Black, vendor of the homeless newspaper, Street Sense, in Washington, D.C.

“I found out within the last couple of years who my best friend is. And my best friend is the mirror. Because every time I look in the mirror, I see myself. I see a person who has been through a lot. I see a person who put so much trust in other people and I was doing it wrong all the time. I was supposed to put trust in myself.” Phil Black, vendor of the homeless newspaper, Street Sense, in Washington, D.C.
Happy Holidays and May our Paths cross again in 2010.
Jean-Marc.
