Another year gone by and such an important year it has been. Arab Spring, Occupy, WOSonOs in Chile, a 5th principle...space opening everywhere. So wherever you are this 2nd of December day, raise that martini glass in good cheer! Lots of chaos on the other side of order...perfect ingredients for self-organizing OS work to be done.  A celebration of life and best birthday gift ever. <br>

Warm wishes to you Harrison from Suzanne whose late dad celebrated his birthday the same day. He too would be celebrating those events with martini in hand.<u></u><u></u></div></div><hr>_______________________________________________<br>
