2. A New Year's Message From Donna Maria

How many times over the past week or two have you said, "I wish I could ..." or "I wish would have ..."? Most of us would probably be surprised at how frequently we use that phrase to describe something that we want in our lives, but over which we feel we have little control. But i has been said that a vision without a plan is just a wish.
