Happy New Year!  The holidays have come and gone and quite frankly, I am ready to get back to my routine.  I’ve set some exciting goals for myself and I am enthusiastic about taking some action, along with a positive attitude, to make them happen! 

What can I do to help you reach your goals?  If you have a fitness goal, I invite you to join HIKE NV for one of our hikes this year.  It is a fun way to get some exercise, enjoy nature & meet some new people.  Our first hike will be in March.  A list of the hikes for the year will be published in February.  Check back to my website next month for more details. 

Any plans to improve your net worth?  It is an ideal time to be buying real estate, whether a first-time homebuyer, moving up, downsizing or searching for that Napa Valley 2nd home.  In the real estate update section of my newsletter, I will discuss the outlook for the year and where the opportunities are. 

Almost two years ago, I had a goal to give back to the community.  I got involved as a Big Sister through the Big Brother Big Sister organization. In my Featured Article Section, I’d like to share with you the wonderful and rewarding experience it has been to be mentoring a young girl.  Reaching out to others is a great way to start the year and feel good!  I hope it will spark some ideas for you.

I wish you a wonderful 2009!  I invite you to write a blog on my website and let me know your predictions for the New Year.

Sincerely,

Ingrid Owen
