Here I am in NYC, enjoying a mighty cold (hopefully white) Christmas with my family after one heck of a year. This year has certainly challenged my resolve and sense of who I am, throwing me circumstances I never dreamed I would have to deal with. Overall, I have come out of the other end of breast cancer treatment with a greater resolve to be present, lead a simple life and give my energy to what matters.
I wish you all the very best for the coming year and hope you can see out 2010 with an appreciation for the beauty of life and the company of those you love.

And lastly, the dollars – business reporting tools covering the financials of your studio.
This tool could be of great use to you in determining the profitability of your set up.
ROI calculator – found this on the Balanced Body website (new and improved I must say)
