The New Orleans Saints came marching home to a victory celebration after winning Super Bowl XLIV Sunday. One fan was quoted as saying,”We used to be the ‘Aints. We wore brown bags on our heads and now we’re Super Bowl champions!” What a difference a day makes.

What do you guys think? We think the Saints won because of that incredibly unorthodox move to do an onside kick to start the second half. First time ever that was tried in a Superbowl, and man did it ever WORK!

People we talked with just sensed now was the time for the City of New Orleans to put the past behind them and blow the victory trumpet. And it happened. It happened for New York City just a few months ago when the Yankees took the World Series Championship. It was their time too. Time to put Katrina and September 11 behind and move forward with boldness.

We’ve been going over the results of our latest survey. We see big changes there too.

Someone who hadn’t gotten any freelance writing jobs in a while picked up on the idea of intense gratitude John and Les talked about on Friday. So Saturday began with giving thanks as if good things had already happened. Change came quickly. Two new writing gigs in three hours. AWESOME!

Someone else has been inspired to create a new web-based business. Several have started blogs. Still another saw her creativity return after a three-month absence.

And one woman found a way to enhance her relationship with her husband. If she hadn’t been on the webinar with us she would have missed that opportunity.

Friendships are being established. Businesses shifting into high gear. Our little community continues to grow stronger and closer (check out our Facebook group here)

The buzz we’re getting from just about everyone is that 2010 will be a year of big changes. Many of you are asking us to lead the way. We’re definitely up for that. “Pumped” might be a better word. It’s time to take the bull by the horns and make it happen. Stay tuned. We’ll have more for you this week and next.
