HAPPY 2008! May this be the best year of your life -- and it can be if you decide it will! The Power of Positive Thinking, can change everything in this world. Even when negative happens, positive will eventually counteract it.

AND - OH MY - do I ever have a positive happening to me. I'M GETTING MARRIED... not exactly "in the morning," but on April 12th. And, I feel so excited and thrilled about the upcoming celebration. I hope you saw some of the tape on TV, we had a wonderful engagement party in New York. We were entertained by Nicola Congiu, who is an Italian singing sensation Rossano and I saw in Italy this summer. He performed a couple of Italian love songs - and, oh well, I just love all things Italian!

Of course, that's not the only thing I'm planning - I just love multitasking... If you have plans to visit Dubai and Bahrain (and more people go every year), then you'll find IVANA HOTELS & CONDOMINIUMS there. I just signed deals in the two major tourist and business places. And, inside each property, you'll find Ivana Spas, restaurants, business centers, etc. The rooms will also have IVANA amenities to start and end each right on a romantic, luxurious high. Each building will be 80-100 storeys tall. Isn't that amazing.

If you're gong in the opposite direction - FIJI ISLANDS... you'll find more IVANA properties - and here it's split into "Cool" and "Hot," and that's how you'll feel in the appropriate places. So, please come visit me - you'll never know when I'll show up to enjoy the pleasures I am planning for you.

The rest of it is, just like you, "same old, same old." And, that means, the same old wonderful, action packed life. I'm busy in Canada on the Shopping Network, and having so much fun with my friends and ladies up there. I'm off for the Paris Haute Couture shows, and that is such a pleasure as you see the finest clothes and designs up close. It's exciting! There are speaking engagements and appearances across the country and globe, so remember to say HELLO if you see me at one of them.

And, never last in my life, my family. Beautiful baby KAI is already 6 months old, and a true beauty. Don Jr., and his wife Vanessa celebrated their 30th birthdays - and I'd like someone to tell me where those 30 years went! Eric just had a birthday and is loving his working life at the Trump Organization. In fact, that handsome, very tall blond man behind Donald in his TV Show, is Eric. I'm so proud of him. And, Ivanka is truly becoming an international star and celebrity in her own right - and loves being a high powered businesswoman. It's a good life, and I'm very grateful everyday.

I'm celebrating my birthday in February, and hopefully Rossano and I will be schussing down some slope somewhere having a great time and truly enjoying LIFE. I wish that for all of you, in 2008, and every other year too.
