MESSAGE FROM DIANA Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. We sure did! I relaxed a little and worked a lot, and have something VERY special in the works for you, as noted in an earlier email. Look for that "it's here" announcement either later today or tomorrow. I've also been looking over the comments on the blog and am delighted at all the info being exchanged - one of the many benefits of getting to interact with people from all over the world. If you want to see what people or saying or start a conversation on your own, head over to the blog. So what's on tap for today's articles? A roundup of last year, a favorite article for the new year, and at closer look at ways women sabotage their careers. Enjoy!

What if you could drop some of those pesky pounds in the next few weeks WITHOUT starving yourself, counting calories, or going to meetings? What if, by rotating your eating patterns for a few days, you could speed up your metabolism to burn away a few of those dimples and rolls - yet still enjoy a glass of wine with dinner? Sound impossible? Well pick your favorite foods, let these folks plan your menu, and join the thousands who have discovered what a big difference "shifting calories" can mean to your waistline. A quirky trend, a "kind of" risqué blouse, a beautiful charm bracelet - all harmless in a business setting, right? WRONG. Here are seemingly innocent ways some women sabotage their own careers. Could changing your image REALLY impact your life? Absolutely! Here's how one woman went from single, broke, and unhappy at work, to "having it all" in less than two years - because she changed her clothes.   From great looks to embarrassing mishaps, here's an irreverent look back at the year in fashion 2009.   Want to chat with fellow readers from all over the world?
