Some of you are already familiar with my inspirational "Phrase for the Year" (such as: "Wipe the Slate in 2008") practice. For those of you unfamiliar, every year for the past eight, I've chosen a positive motto to act as the year's theme. The theory being: It's meant to be placed on one's mobile phone so each time one opens and closes it, the motto is somehow absorbed into one's psyche. It can't hurt anyway!
After the previous 8 years, I felt the need for a really good phrase for coming 2009 & after nearly a year of mulling it over, I just couldn't seem to get "crime" rhyming with "9" out of my mind! As crime doesn't stand that tall in the positive reinforcement category, I definitely needed some help.
Then, suddenly, in the middle of the holiday season, the motto came from my childhood friend, PJ Mehaffey (in a Christmas card), "It's YOUR time to SHINE in '09!"
Feel free to change it as you see fit, others have suggested, "It's MY time to SHINE in '09!" & "It's OUR time to SHINE in '09!" Whatever works, I hope you'll consider using and start practicing for yourselves - whatever your theme.
All the best to you & yours in the coming New Year. We could ALL use some shine just about NOW! Don't forget to answer when you get the call.
