Happy New Year! I just love New Year’s. I, for one, am not a new year’s resolution person. I figure if you are going to do it, you might as well do it any other day of the year. But I do like the newness of the year. The “new beginning” feeling of the year. I usually take a break and look at things a little differently and crave a little change. And for some reason the simple change in calendar brings with it a sense that things CAN be new, different, and just a little bit adventurous. This Christmas, with the help of my family, we packaged thirty Kelley Corbett Dolls to go on adventures of their own. Fifteen of them have headed off to Honduras, with Operation Christmas Child, where they will be given to little girls and told the wonderful story of Christmas. Six have headed off to Nigeria through the Amobi Okoye Foundation to benefit Nigerian children. And nine have headed to children in need right here in Houston through the San Jose Clinic. My hope is that they bring joy, hope, and companionship to the special little girls that are waiting for them. Many adventures await for 2014, so let the New Year begin!
