Happy New Year from the Satellite Sisters! We are still on vacation but here's a final show of 2014 pulled from our classics.  This was our first show of 2011. Here's a lesson:  Old New Year's Resolutions can be just as good as news one.  Many of the lessons of 2011 will apply for 2015! Julie has a big idea about an idea book. (Still an awesome idea in 2015.) Lian's still working on here theme for the year, and wants to save magazines. (She's till working on this one.) Liz is on the verge of starting a new job. (Which she actually started a month after this original recording.) Lian recommends The King's Speech.  (You've probably seen this by now but if you haven't, there's still time.) Plus Colin Firth SHOULD be King. We are looking forward to our first official show for 2015 which is scheduled for January 10. In the meantime, please check out all of our shows iTunes, Stitcher and www.satellitesisters.com.
