Happy 2010!  May this be the best year yet for TLC and all of you!!!  Philip and I returned from our holiday rested and ready to go for a successful year.  We are getting production up and running this week as people slowly return from their holidays around the country.

The good news in Kenya is that we have been getting a lot of rain!!!  It began on Christmas Day and hasn’t stopped!  Our roads were washed away, and it took the road crew a week to repair the main one up our steep hill so that we could come home.  The road to the workshop was also washed away which they managed to repair just in time for us to begin work.  Although the plants are green, unfortunately the grass is slow in coming.  The seed base was exhausted during the drought so it will take a couple of months for the grazing animals to have enough to eat, providing the rains continue.  Everyone here considers this rain a blessing!  It is a good sign for prosperity in 2010.

We hope that all of you had a wonderful holiday and look forward to this trade show season with gusto!  We are showcasing some exciting new and updated products that we can’t wait for you to see and experience! If you’re attending one of our shows, please come by to check out TLC Marula Oil, nature’s secret to healthy, younger looking skin and find out what African women have enjoyed for hundreds of years.  See our website for details on the shows.

Good luck in 2010 and thank you. It is a real pleasure to be partners with each of you.  We truly are blessed!
