Happy New Year to all our Beading Friends!

 

We hope each of you had a wonderful festive period. The beginning of the New Year is a time to reflect on the things that made the last year special. For us, that's all of you!

We appreciate all the wonderful people we meet or communicate with through this business and are grateful for your support and words of encouragement. 

Sometime, somewhere a tradition developed that the start of a new calendar year was the time to set goals for the year ahead. Yet for those of us who have attempted that, we are aware that few people stick to them. We are not blessed with great ideas about what we want to achieve only during the first week of January. These happen throughout the year and then we act accordingly. Thus we were struck with three interesting observations related to goal setting which don’t confine one to the first days of the new year. Essentially what the new year will brings to each of us is the result of our own initiatives throughout the year.

From Socrates: “The secret of change is to focus all our energy, not on fighting, but on building the new.”
From Dr. Seuss: “You’ll never get bored when you try something new. There’s really no limit to what you can do.”
From Ralph Waldo Emerson: “The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.”

Here at Canada Beading, every January means taking inventory and this gets us focusing on things that we want to change and what we may want to do in the coming months. As always, we welcome your views on products or classes which would help you further your interests. We will begin to implement some of our ideas once inventory is completed but please don't hesitate to let us know of ways we could help you.

May the new year bless you with peace, health, wealth and happiness!

Meredith, Brent and Carrie
