JANUARY THOUGHTS
I had the flu over the holidays! On Christmas Day especially, I had to let go a lot of "shoulds" and "have to's" and just let my body rest.(My poor husband George ate leftovers for dinner!)
I am firmly convinced that our bodies offer us a wealth of information if we would only pay attention. My goal this year is to pay closer attention to what my body is telling me....
Do I hear a little voice saying "Don't even THINK about eating those left over Christmas cookies." Hmmmmmm, this may be harder than I thought!

CAN-SPAM
Some of you may be aware of a new anti-spam legislation called CAN-SPAM. Let's hope this legislation will protect us all from unwanted emails! The legislation significantly penalizes folks who send unsolicited email and who don't offer an opt-out option in their newsletters.
FYI, for this monthly email, I use a service called Ezine Director which requires that every email sent out is to someone who has requested a subscription to the ezine. Ezine Director also offers an opt-out option at the bottom of each newsletter.
Of course, I hope you will not choose to opt-out but it is important for you to know that you always have the choice to do that.
Remember that I always appreciate feedback regarding the website and the monthly newsletter. Send comments to editor@newhopepennsylvania.com

THE FREE BRIDGE
Don't forget that starting Jan 5th, the Free Bridge is closed during weekdays. There is a shuttle that operates during the week to take commuters back and forth between Lambertville and New Hope. You can download a Shuttle Brochure off of the home page of www.NewHopePennsylvania.com.
Important Note: The bridge IS open on weekends.
