Can you believe it is the end of another year? Needless to say, it has been incredible and surreal all at once. So many things were accomplished and so many things changed.

I look forward to seeing you all next year...All the best to you and your families!

News of the BookFinal Book cover Silva Becker
I successfully published a book with one of my best friends, Kirsten Becker last year - she is like a sister to me and another blessing. Many of you supported us at our successful book launch party at the Tampa Museum of Art in June. We have been on local and regional TV, you can buy our book on Amazon, we have toured the market and had book signings at most of the region's Borders Book Stores (clicking this link will allow you to write a review of our book which would be so helpful for us) and have even been featured in a national magazine articles. Our successful use of social media gave us the opportunity to take on clients to enhance their social media and PR efforts. The book is doing really well and we are in very confidential talks with an agent...we are off to the Sundance Film Festival for more meetings...Stay Tuned!!! The book is available for the holidays and can be personalized and gift wrapped to your friend with a note that you ask us to write.

How was 2010?
My family continues to be the reason that I get up everyday. They are amazing and I am so lucky. Christie, is a Senior at the University of Florida a Business major with a minor in Urban Design...Go Gators. While in denial of graduation...she is contemplating pursuing her Masters at USF with a specialization in Real Estate...Go Bulls. She will be looking for a summer internship - hint, hint ;) CJ ended his Freshman year at the University of South Alabama as the starting Quarterback with the team having their second undefeated season. My youngest, Manny, named after my dad, is so amazing - he will be my engineer one day. The two younger girls are Alan's daughters (my significant "other") that many have met...he and the girls are keepers! What a handful!!! This picture was my birthday present this year and I loved it.
