Australian Friends

I love @ClareLancaster simple but elegant newsletter layout. http://bit.ly/fIrsH1
I was able to connect via twitter with a girl named Clare Lancaster.  I really enjoy her newsletter's I get via email as they have news about business that is local to Australia and then business that is directed to the World at large.

I like how she starts off talking about what's news On the Internet and takes meaningful quotes from websites that have links to people's stories.  Then on to reviewing what's news On Twitter and she lists four different interesting comments.  She finishes up with talking about what is news On the Blog.

Here is her Behind the Scenes for the month of December...

The blog turns 1 on the 12th of December and oh yes, I will be toasting to it.

Before I leave your inbox  for the year I want to say thanks to you, one of 1,781 people who receive this email each Friday.

Collectively, you're all clever, creative and brave enough to take the path less travelled. Individually, you inspire me each and every day.

Thanks for reading, have a safe holiday time with lots of love and laughter.

Cheers,
Clare.

P.S. I'm taking an extended break to work on some things behind the scenes and get ready for a prosperous new year. I'd love for you to check in on the blog as I'll be sharing what I'm up to sporadically.









I find the Mailchimp newsletter program she uses a delight and easy read.  I look forward to the new year and the future newsletters from my friend Clare.  I call her my friend as I have emailed her and received her permission to post this blog about her business.  I hope she enjoys it!

Happy Holidays & Happy New Year !  And Happy 1st Year to you Clare!


Cheers,
Nicole Flothe

The link above helps explain why Oprah is in Australia.  Today she is doing an interview at the Sidney House.  For those that live in the US, it's pretty interesting how we are connecting with our Talk show host in the land down under.  Some people love Oprah and others not so much.  I love what she can do when talking with someone and how the conversation seems effortless and engaging.  She has a true gift and talent.

I will be watching the tivo of the show as I love getting closer to my Australia visit.  I was almost planning my first trip to Australia on January 7th but Christmas is here and Family is my first priority. My family will be coming with me so it looks like the future is bright!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays for this Year of 2010~
