We are born in a specific time and place, within a specific family, and with certain gifts and challenges. Every person that passes through our lives makes a contribution to our life stories, some of them play large roles and make deep impressions, others make a brief appearance and then take another direction but all of them create a meaningful connection with us.    

It is always at Christmas time that we tend to start reconnecting with our past and ourselves, remembering Christmas from long ago and people who we have not seen for quite a while. We start counting our blessings as the year ends.

This Christmas I would like to thank all my friends (old and new), colleagues and mentors for the impression they made in my life. Allow me, as well, to express my warmest wishes for a bright new year  fulfilling all your hopes and professional aspirations.
