Dear Members and Prospective Members,

2013 is going to be a phenomenal year. I have a lot of things to prove to myself and one is that I can live fearlessly. It is confidence in our minds, body and spirits that allow us to keep looking for new adventures, new directions to grow in and new lessons to learn - which is what life is all about!

So go ahead, fall down. The world looks different from the ground. The thing you fear has no power. Facing the truth will really set you free. Think like a Queen. A Queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another step forward to greatness.

Despite the many eternal and internal challenges which face or Nation, at the dawn of this New Year 2013, I am confident that over the next 12 months, we will continue to make much progress both individually and collectively. We have always dug deep into ourselves to find the discipline to be more productive, caring, united, love and just than ever before. We need all the spirit of solidarity, discipline, hard work and serious to meet the serios challenges we face during this economic crisis that is ravaging the National economy.

In today's economic crisis, it is essential to entrust the World of Real Estate Professionals who will contribute their high quality work and enthusiasm to help boost the economy. Therefore, this year, we must maintain a focus on enhanced production, discipline and compassion as we go about our daily duties. It is within us to triumph over these challenges.

Thank you for your trust in me, I will do my best to live up to your expectations.

Best Wishes,

Melanie Holthaus, 2013 WCR President of Santa Clara County
