I’m going to keep this month’s entry relatively brief because I’m very much heads-down working on our apps. We just released iZen Garden 2 and now I’m turning my focus back to Edibles and Edibles Online again. Alas! No rest for the wicked. ;)

Over the next month or so, I’m sure that we’re going to see an influx of new users to Edibles Online. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you. We’ve worked very hard at producing products and services to help you achieve the goals that you’ve probably set for yourself this year.

New Years is always an exciting time, a time of rebirth and resolutions. A time when we look back on the past year, on our successes, and on our failures.

We’ve heard from a lot of users this year about how they have been successful using Edibles to lose weight. It fills us with joy every time we get an e-mail from someone telling us about how they’ve lost weight and how they are living a healthy lifestyle because of our work. Losing weight is one of the most challenging life goals that many people will attempt, and it is absolutely wonderful that we can be a part of your success.

If you didn’t achieve as much as you had hoped in 2009, don’t lose faith. Every day is a new day and a new opportunity to turn this day into a success. In the same way, every new year is an opportunity to achieve your goals and live the lifestyle you want to live. A new day, a new year, a new decade – New opportunities.

You can live a healthy lifestyle, and we hope that we can be a part of your success story too.

I’m reminded of the quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson:

“Dare to live the life you dream for yourselves. Go forward and make your dreams come true.”

Everything about that statement speaks to the future. My New Year’s hope for you is that 2010 brings you success in everything you do and everything you try to accomplish.

If 2009 brought success for you please share your successes in the comments below – even if it’s not related to weight loss. We love, love, love hearing from our users and hearing about your success stories. To us, working with you is like a conversation. It’s best when we’re both engaged and sharing.

Happy New Year!
