You are listening to a Clarks World magazine podcast with your host and narrator Kate Baker.

Creetings Clarks World Citizens. I hope this podcast finds you extraordinarily well.

This is our second story for the month of January 2019, issue 148. I hope you are sticking

to your New Year's resolutions and if you haven't, be gentle with yourself. Try again

tomorrow if you can. Or try when you are ready. These things take time. And we

have such a propensity for yelling at ourselves, don't we?

And if you're already zipping along, congratulations,

you can do the thing.

I want to take a quick moment to thank each and every one of you who

have written and shared your stories of how you listen to the podcast. It's a lot of

responsibility to sit behind a mic and I hope I do an admirable job, an acceptable job.

And I want to thank each and every one of you who have spread the word about our little podcast on Twitter, Facebook,

or to a friend.

To those of you who contribute on a monthly donation level, thank you so much, or who

subscribe to the magazine.

You guys are amazing.

And if you haven't yet had the chance, please consider doing so.

Every little bit goes to help this little magazine become a big one.

Be a part of something special.
