Hello dear friends -

It's been quite a while since we've written. At first, we were getting used to blogging. Then, our friend hurricane Ike rolled into town and put a damper (no pun intended) on our business plan. So, after what seems like weeks of yard clearing, fence fixing, no electricity, no cable, we're finally up and running again. There's nothing like a natural disaster to re-focus what's important and count your blessings. One minute, we're worried about business plans, financing and bank accounts. The next minute, we're worried about the roof being ripped off and a tree falling onto our house.

But, the pause that Ike provided only solidified our desire to really make this happen. It became more clear than ever how much comfort and joy we received from engaging in the OYB Process, and developing our business plan and strategy. In a time of turmoil, chaos, and uncertainty, we craved the regular and creative space of our weekly meetings. So, we've decided to update our blog when we meet, with our latest and greatest thoughts.

Hi guys it's Samira and Monica and we have begun our blog to capture our own your bliss journey. It's Friday afternoon (8/8/08) and we're well in the trenches of our monthly strategy session. We can't wait to tell you all about Own Your Bliss so come back shortly for all the juicy details!

Blissful days,
Monica and Samira
