Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Yesterday I had a two minute call from my boss in NY to say that given the tough times, the fact that our holding company WPP did not win the HP business, and little growth in San Francisco over the past six months, I was being terminated as President of Wunderman, San Francisco. In many ways I feel unfettered from a dead-in-the-water situation and free now to absolutely pursue what I want to do. I don't know what that is--but more of the same isn't it.

This is a gift from Wunderman, not one I anticipated, but one I accept with gratitude. I wish them well. For the past year I feel my life has been going through a old-fashioned hand crank meat grinder--moving out of my house, my divorce, the move to San Francisco, the new job and now the job gone. I don't know yet what's being created but sure as shooting it will be Very Different from before.

The gift I have received is one of expansion, exploration and re-commitment to the foundations in my life that are true, important and give meaning to being alive.
It's a gift of shattering rebirth. It's up to me to realize the benefits of this gift.

If you're willing to support me in this journey I will surely appreciate it.
Thank you all for being here.

Onward and upward!

Niland
