New Beginnings

As I enter into another year on this journey that is my life, my work and my family, it is interesting that I enter into a Personal 1 year in terms of numerology.
Personal year 1 is a year of New Beginnings when life can take on new challenges that pave the way for the next cycle of nine years. This is a time to clarify goals and it is a time to act on them.

In terms of my business, 'hemp hemp hooray', we are currently working on a new look for our logo, range and brand that better reflects the quality of our products and their certified organic ingredients. These will be subtle changes with a big impact, being careful not to lose the integrity of our original and much loved range.

I'm sure our loyal customers will be happy with the changes and the new look will hopefully capture the attention and enthusiasm of new eco conscious consumers.

We will also continue to support the fight for Hemp food legislation here in Australia and I am confident the positive outcome we are all hoping for will be realised this year. Hemp seeds, protein and oil (natures Super food) will soon be available to all Australians as is the case in all other western countries.

We aim to also get licensed Industrial Hemp crops growing here in South Australia, this will mark the beginning of a sustainable hemp fibre industry for our state and its farmers and processors. With a view to encourage hemp house building especially in the high fire risk areas of our state.

On a more personal front I feel the beginnings of many changes some subtle and others not so. I hope to start a new cycle of health and fitness bringing much needed focus to my priorities in terms of health both physically and spiritually. I guess the key to this is commitment as I have dabbled here and there without much consistancy in the past. Already my focus is much more grounded and I feel confident that these changes will be sustained as I embrace my new healthier, happy mind, body and spirit.

I sit quietly in gratitude daily for the blessing that is my family and friends. I commit to realising this gratitude for all my days to come. I know that this year will bring new opportunities for quality time and life experiences together that will further strengthen our love, respect and honor for one another and I wish nothing less for all those who share my life and the people I am yet to meet.

Happy 2011 - may you find joy, fulfillment and prosperity in all that you do and love and humility from all that you meet.

With gratitude, Teresa
