The first morning of 2014 I received amazing NY text from a friend:

“Buddy, 2013 was the best year of your life. Make 2014 count!”

So simple & special, this message brought me to the very start of 2013. It made me reflect — indeed , 2013 was amazing.

I wish to thank 2013 for my two beloved girls. Thank you Sandra for saying “yes” in this epic year. Thank you for introducing me to Sofia a bit later. Sofia, thank you for being a part & helping Sandra & me writing our story further.

Thank you my friend — you have played a tremendous role in my 2013. If you are reading this, you are either my team-mate, a mentor, or one of many special friends scattered around the Globe. Thank you for helping us dreaming-out and bringing our vision to reality.

Your 2013 was truly epic as well!!

Over the past 12 months you have started with a new job; pushed for your own business; graduated from a college; said “yes”; said “yes” to the new challenge; became a mom/dad; witnessed your kid’s learning, moved-in with your significant-other; moved to a whole new country; learned a new language…

Over the entire 2013 you, my friend, have been a true fighter.

Make 2014 count.

Yours truly,

Ivan
