Today's been a reflective day already. There are many new opportunities and some closing doors ahead for myself and my family. Taking some time to sit down and remember what caries a successful (and happy) person through these times has been incredibly helpful. I'll share those traits with you (and remind myself again too)...
1. Love of learning. A fervor for acquiring new skills, satisfying curiosity, and building on knowledge.
2. Creativity. A flair for producing something (anything) new, surprising or unusual.
3. Humility. Recognizing the true measure of your abilities and achievements and appreciating those of others.
4. Humor. The ability to find something to laugh at even in times of trouble and a knack for helping others do the same.
5. Persistence. The strength to work toward a goal in the face of obstacles, difficulties or discouragement.
6. Gratitude. A sense of thankfulness.
7. Forgiveness. The capacity for letting go of hurt and anger... of disappointments.
8. Appreciate beauty. The ability to recognize excellence and take pleasure in the good things in life.
9. Spirituality. The belief in a transcendent dimension of life.
10. Vitality. A feeling of passion, energy and being alive.
“Without a vision the people perish.” Proverbs 29:18. Do you have a clear vision?

Viximo Lands $5 Million in Funding
Tech Crunch reported last week that, Viximo, which provides a platform for the creation, distribution, and monetization of virtual goods for social networks and mobile devices, has secured $5 million in a round of funding from North Bridge Venture Partners and Sigma Partners.
Viximo, which launched last fall, provides an embeddable gift store and showcase that can be integrated into any site, and also markets its own micro-transaction system. Viximo has formed partnerships with a number of Facebook applications, as well as stand alone websites looking to integrate their own stores. Partners include Always Athletes, which produces a Facebook app called My Sports Career; We're Related; Birthday Calendar (another Facebook app), and World Winner, a standalone site.
Most recently, Viximo released a landmark new development platform called VixML that allows iPhone application designers to create basic applications with a minimal amount of programming knowledge.
Glad to see Viximo is doing well. The platform is solid, I've been sending their Facebook Birthday Calendar gifts since last summer. Heading to the Social Gaming Summit in SF? Check out Viximo.
