January 1. Happy New Year Greeting from Sensei Brezhnev. Dear Friends, Approaching
the threshold of 2009 and looking back on the sensational 2008 and
beyond, on behalf of the Dynamo Family, I would love to thank you for
being in our lives and wish you an auspicious 2009. Let all your
deepest hopes come to life, let robust health flow through your bodies,
and your keen mind be in harmony with your spirit. For
all of us, I wish for a change for better in the world, for peace,
mutual understanding, respect, nay, dare I say appreciation (!) between
nations, for grace & humility in our governments and in our families, and
for a catalyst to all of it - a cultural and physical explosion, a real
shift, enriching our fragile human lives with profound beauty,
dignity and self-realization. Forgive me for a
group e-mail. Each of you is a very special person in our lives,
putting together this list was an exhilarating walk on a memory lane of
2008 and beyond. I had a thought to highlight moments of our exchanges
to be grateful for with each of you, but the list would be prohibitive,
and there is lots of work ahead in 2009. So let's hit the ground
running and energize the forces behind inevitable change. Love and peace, Sensei Boris Brezhnev December
