New Year • New Ideas

It's time for some new ideas.

I was in discussion last evening with someone about our economy and what we really don't much know about all that is happening around us - we just know there is much reaction and speculation.

Let me propose that we hold onto hope. We can't lose if we dare to have hope and share hope with those around us. It may be that your hope is grounded in your faith, possibly family and for some it is in wealth. Hope is most genuine when found in a source outside our control. Do you know where your hope comes from?

Here's a random thought... smile at someone today!

A new photography endeavor I am pursuing is a project on ethnic diversity called, "OUR WORLD: Culture and Ethnicity. There is an element of secrecy involved in that participants are required to complete a "non-disclosure" agreement concerning concept and content until the project is released early 2010 or slightly before. It is pretty exciting and I anticipate you may even want to buy the book resulting from this year-long effort.

We discuss diversity and we acknowledge it but do we really realize how vast it is and how it impacts culture... us?

I plan to live with sustained hope, smile often and discover more about people...all people.

Warm regards,
James
