I saw the following message on a church I drive by frequently and it sums it all up.

Friendship doubles our happiness and divides our grief

My 2006 Mission has been and continues to be to build stronger and deeper friendship.

Go beyond the casual acquaintance and business network, but go deeper. Who are you? What is important to you? What’s happening in your life? How can we help each other outside our normal networking roles?

Be bold, build friendships - not networks!
