In under 24 hours it will be 2009. Over the past year, 2008 has seen history made with the first African-American to become President as well as the worst economic implosion America has witnessed since the Great Depression. Bailouts for rich people, and a: “sorry that’s the best we can do” for underprivileged or poor people.

Life is not without it’s roller coaster ride of reality. Challenges and victories are forever around us. In the challenges we need to celebrate the small victories and in those victories understand the humility that allows us the opportunity to rise again to accept another challenge.

The human spirit is filled with determination and will to overcome. What will you overcome in this New Year? It’s not my call. That’s your dilemma. For right now I want you to celebrate your life and everything that God has given you…and celebrate the small victories.

Now watch my video for my special New Years message. Thank you for being part of my life and let’s face 2009 together. Happy New Year!
