As I look over this year, it's amazing how many wonderful things have happened.  I hope my list will inspire you, also, to give credit where credit is due.  (Speaking of which, see my thank you list at the end.)

1. Aura Reading Through All Your Senses became a national bestseller in Germany as die Aura erkennen mit allen Sinnen.

2. I gave a record seven (7!) TV interviews for one station, ABC news in Cincinnati, where I read everyone from the new Pope to stars of Desperate Housewives.

3. The Chicago Sun-Times interviewed me for a full-page story on Tom Cruise, then published six more (so far) full-page interviews -- another lifetime media record.

4. The Face Reading Correspondence Course had its first graduate, the talented Ralph Dehner.  Several other awesome students are close to finishing the program, too.

5. I gave my first workshop and personal sessions in the U.K. for the renowned Inner Potential Centre in London.  I'll be returning in the Spring of 2006. 

6. Setting a lifetime record for travel, I brought my techniques of deeper perception to Tokyo, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington State and Canyon Ranch (its own deluxe planet, technically in Arizona).

7. My first new book in two years became available through advance publication at this website only, Let Today Be a Holiday: 365 Ways to Co-Create with God.  (It's official publication will come in 2006.)

8. Technical firsts: "Reading Life Deeper," our monthly Zine, is finally being sent through a reliable distribution system.  So old technical glitches are gone, and our readers can refer new readers without techno-embarrassment.  Also, volunteer Lisa Paradis has designed and hosted a pair of online forums, one for empaths, the Skilled Empath Awareness Forum, and the other for face and aura readers, the Celestial Perception Forum.

9. A new record was set with the number of aura reports, face reports, relationship reports and personnel profiles that were ordered in 2005.  Also, I had the pleasure of serving more clients through personal sessions than ever before.

10. Superb students attended my weekend intensives on Spiritual Healing with Deeper Perception and Empath's Empowerment, and I am so proud to announce that several turned pro this year as healers: Marilyn Cooley (NOVA Holistic Animal Care), Beautiful Flower, Lisa Paradis (Amethyst Rose Healing Arts), and Dawn Kull (Love is There).

A year or so many accomplishments would not have been possible without the help and support of wonderful people!  Here's a special thanks this year to: 

Bill Bauman (www.billbauman.net), who wrote the foreword to PartnerLooks (a book I published in Germany in 2005; the American publication will come soon), and was inspiration for Let Today Be a Holiday.

Media friends Jeannine Gallenstein of ABC TV in Cincy, Paige Wiser of the Chicago Sun-Times, Thom Hartmann of Air America Radio, Rob McConnell from The X Zone, British radio host Paul Coyte, flashy and wireless David Moye, brainy journalist Rebecca Epstein and all the others who interviewed me this year.

Donna Eden (Energy Medicine), one of my heroes, who brought so many aura readers my way.

Vivien Gibson for hosting me at the Inner Potential Centre in London; Cheryl and Mark Clements for their hospitality and making my books available throughout Europe through Life of Enchantment; Carol and Mark Moores' amazing hospitality as well.

To all of you who trusted me to do sessions and readings and to so many of you who took the time to send me thank you's afterwards, you are appreciated more than you may know.

And especially to all of you who have let others know about my work and books.

Namaste and thanks!
