My Chinese horoscope for 2008 gave me this rating for the year,

“37% (2 favorable, 1 neutral and 9 unfavorable months)”

I am glad I saw this at the end of the year. It was a tough year on many levels.  The challenges were many and forced me to make decisions and to take steps I might not have done as quickly.

There were a lot of fun things that showed up in the midst of everything.

I was published on Beliefnet.com for the first time. I was published in one book and mentioned as a resource in another.  I have met some fabulous people online and in person.  I have steadily increased my writing and have expanded my media empire. Also I have learned many new and fun things about the internet, social media, video, podcasting and writing.

In 2009 I will have a show on Blog Talk Radio and I am committed to publishing something substantial. I plan to implement all this learning into creating interesting things for myself and other people this year.

I did peek and 2009 promises to be better for this Rooster.  I agree.  I plan to make it a better one.
