Happy New Year 2009
January 2, 2009

Hello Friends!

Nice to be back for a spell to give myself, and hopefully yours, a little perspective on a beat or two. Christmas
has come and past and the New Year awaits us all with those unforseen adventures just waiting to happen. The
past year has delivered many good times with a few rough periods, but overall there is much to be thankful for.

Holidays are like people I guess...they come and they go...but they are never forgotten. Lost a few people this
year that were so dear to me in life that these times of late just seem to be something that I may never come to
understand. Im sure you can relate to this if your heart is as sensitive as mine.

I do know this. I feel a thunder in my heart... I cant change some of the painful feelings that I want to drive away,
but my heart has always been my salvation. I close my eyes and feed into what it is that brings my mind the
clarity it needs.

That thunder in my heart has me hear with you right now, which in turn delivers that harmony my spirit craves.
Your attention brings me a balance that is appreciated more than you will ever understand. The feedback and
support that all of you have provided has helped in giving me the confidence and the clarity I need to continue
my work here with www.austinithnkyoushine.com.

Hats off to all of you for being so wonderful and take comfort in knowing that the work and art I produce are
inspired by each and everyone of you. There is still much to be learned and even more to be shared.  Trust me
in saying that when the time comes that I am able to bring the two together in harmony, we will both be able to
reflect together, smile together, and laugh together in an unconditional way.

I have decided to share with you today photography that I have captured over this past year. I have not created
this movie visual yet, so now comes the fun part of what I love and live to do (Yeeeeee Haaawwww as we say in
Texas). I hope you enjoy my selection of memories and I hope you build this New Year with endless memories
of your own.

In closing I would like you to know that I have an exhibit of some of my Art at the Austin Furniture store located
on Oltorf next to Music Makers. Please drop in and check it out. Its my first exhibit and Im totally excited about it.

I hope you enjoy the movie and I hope even more that I am able to capture that unconditional smile that makes
you who you are. Until my next update, stay safe, stay real, and help those around you understand the power
of an upside down frown : ) ----- <

Peace and Love,
Wesley Balli
