Dave Caffery, Executive Assistant, Berkeley Heights, New Jersey

     In 2016, I enjoyed many trips and new experiences with good friends and family.
     I disliked the terror worldwide and the increased danger of public transportation.
     In 2017, I look forward to continuing traditions with family and current friends as well as meeting other like-minded, new friends.

Joan Nathanson of Hamiltton, Ontario, Canada

     Current occupation:  wife, mother and grandmother;  volunteer weekly community Laughter Yoga leader, spiritual dowser and mentor, copyeditor, soup and bread maker, sewer and knitter.

     In a nutshell, I enjoyed life – its challenges and opportunities for growth and service – in 2016, and look forward to the experiences which 2017 will bring.  While there is much uncertainty in our world, especially in light of environmental challenges and political developments, I find that help needed is available, as are opportunities to contribute to positive solutions.  Dowsing has helped me to tap into universal resources and cooperate with them so that my small efforts, contribute to peace, understanding and growth.

     Each stage of my life has brought me different challenges and opportunities.  While I liked being who I was, now is good (at age 78), and I expect that future learnings will be enlightening and valuable.  I notice this year that I have grown to appreciate more the complexity of life for each individual as well as for groups and nations.  I believe that sharing is the key to an abundant life.  Happy New Year to all!

Brian Gonzalez, Customer Service Representative, Santa Ana, California:

     What I disliked about 2016, I dislike our divisive attitude toward our president elect.  While I disagree with the man, I wish him a great presidency in all good faith.

     I also lost my pet cat whom I’ve taken care of for over 15 years, due to a reckless driver.  Rocky will be missed, but I carry him in my heart.

     On to what I liked... When I first talked with you Joan, you told me about touching people’s lives and up until now, I always thought I didn't matter to people, it wasn't until recently that I discovered how many people I myself have affected in greatly positive ways.  One example, the most significant one was my friend who opened up to me about how I am one of the only people he feels he can trust since most of his life he's known thugs and addicts and he is trying his best to stay on the straight and narrow path.  He told me that he wants me to be by his side when his first son is delivered today December 18th 2016, it feels like such a great honor to hear that from someone who matters to me and while there are many examples this is the one that feels most significant to me.

     Though I am young, I eagerly look forward to all the people and lives I will touch and cross paths with hopefully more and more each year.  It is going to be a great 2017!
