Some Thoughts During The Holiday Season

If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you, and furthermore, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness...you are more blessed than the one million who will not survive this week.

If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation…you are ahead of 500 million people in the world today.

If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death...you are more blessed than three billion people on this earth.

If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep...you are richer than 75% of the world’s population.

If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace...you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful...you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.

If you can hold someone's hand, hug them or even touch them on the shoulder...you are blessed because you can offer a healing touch.

Blessings :-)

One of my Louise Hay Favorites

What I like most about this piece is that each line is it's own affirmation! Enjoy :-)

LOVING TREATMENT

Deep at the centre of my being there is an infinite well of love.

I now allow this love to flow to the surface.

It fills my heart, my body, my mind, my consciousness, my very being, and radiates out from me in all directions and returns to me multiplied.

The more love I use and give, the more I have to give, the supply is endless.

The use of love makes me feel good; it is an expression of my inner joy.
Yes, I love myself, therefore I take loving care of my body.

I lovingly feed it nourishing food and beverages.

I lovingly groom it and dress it and my body lovingly responds to me with vibrant health and energy.

I love myself, therefore I provide for myself a comfortable home, one that fills all my needs and is a pleasure to be in.

I fill the rooms with the vibration of love so that all who enter, myself included, will feel this love and be nourished by it.

I love myself, therefore I work at a job that I truly enjoy doing, one that uses all my talents and abilities, working with and for people that I love and love me, and earning a good income.

I love myself, therefore, I behave in a loving way to all people for I know that that which I give out returns to me multiplied.

I only attract loving people in my world for they are a mirror of what I am.
I love myself, therefore I forgive and totally release the past and all past experiences and I am free.

I love myself, therefore I love totally in the now, experiencing each moment as good and knowing that my future is bright, and joyous and secure, for I am a beloved child of the universe and the universe lovingly takes care of me now and forever more.

And so it is.

Celebrating Wellness!

So many great things are manifesting!

It's official, I am an Arbonne consultant. :-) I am extremely excited about this. Although sales is not a new arena for me, products such as these are. This company is about a lifestyle. It is about wellness, health and beauty from the inside out! The products are clean, contain no toxins, botanical based and VEGAN certified. I can absolutely get with the program.

My experience has been; the more people are aware of what goes into their bodies, they become more aware about what they put on their skin. As a coach, I am in constant dialogue about manifesting change and creating action items to get from point A to B. Arbonne has become a HUGE part of the conversation not only for my clients but for myself.

Since I want my friends to join me in my journey for optimum health and beauty I have decided to invite them to a cleanse with me. :-) Many have come on board and we are all looking forward to feeling lighter and healthier. It is not to late to join us.

I Am Excited All Over Again. What A Call!

I just finished wrapping up the call with Sophfronia Scott as she discussed how to co-author your way to a bestseller. On the call she discussed the best path to becoming a published author in this economy and the benefits of contributing to an anthology.

As a co-author of the last anthology I was able to share some of the benefits of MY contributing and I must say I was excited all over again.

The 3 biggest points that I shared on the call were:

- Being a co-author has allowed me to share my story.
- It has positioned me as an expert
- It has catapulted me into what is next in my coaching career.


I am so grateful that Sophfronia has decided to continue the Fierce theme and is inviting authors to participate in the new anthology, "How the Fierce Put Family First". PERFECT for speakers, coaches, small business owners and entrepreneurs.

There isn't alot of space left so please see this link for details: http://www.doneforyouwriting.com/publishingshortcut.htm


The journey as a published author has been truly amazing. I have had the most wonderful opportunities to connect with people and discovered that my story is not mine alone. The conversations have been ones of healing and self discovery. What can be better than that? :-)

For those of you that are free this evening, here is a call that you do not want to miss!

Sophfronia Scott is brilliant and on this call she shares with us how to receive all of the benefits of being published with doing just half of the work.

We all know that hard work is important but we must rememember to work smart as well. Why not take advantage of an opportunity that can catipult you ahead of your business goals and objectives for 2011? Join us, you will not regret it. :-)

*********************

We're more than halfway through 2010 and I have a question for you. Are you on track to reach your goals for this year? Was getting published one of your goals?

If so, then you might be coming to the realization that a good chunk of the year is gone and you are no closer to having a book in your hands. You might even be thinking that you don't have enough material to do a book on your own.

Or maybe you have other obstacles in your way. You're still wondering when you're going to have the time--not to mention the money--to write, publish and market a book to help your business. You have so much else to do: client work, family responsibilities, travel, etc.

Well, maybe you should leave this goal for another year: 2011. But don't beat yourself up about it. If you're really committed to getting published next year, I'll let you in on a little secret: you can take the shortcut!

I'll give you all the details if you'll join me THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7 for a fun and FREE teleseminar:

"Co-Authoring Your Way to a Bestselling Book: The Secrets to Gaining All the Benefits of Being a Published Expert with Just a Fraction of the Work"

On this 60-minute call, you'll discover:
* the missing piece that makes all the difference between your achieving expert status versus being an unknown with a bunch of unused books stacked up in your garage
* the biggest mistake made in most anthology projects that, if avoided, can allow you to have a book you'll be proud to display on your website and at your speaking engagements
* the 4 indisputable reasons why co-authoring would be the most cost-effective way to promote your business and get a book to your name
* the secret to developing a magnetic topic that will make your project a "most wanted" book
* how you can secure your place in a new book I'm co-authoring with top bestselling entrepreneurs that will hit bookshelves in 2011.

You can sign up and get all the details right here.

http://www.doneforyouwriting.com/anthologynew.htm

In this economy it's easy to believe that certain high-level, high-return marketing strategies such as publishing a book are beyond your reach--but think again! All great roads have a shortcut and co-authoring a bestseller instead of trying to go it alone could be the route for you.

Please join me and see!
Best Wishes,

Sophfronia Scott

The Oprah (Brand) Effect

For the next 16 weeks I will be unavailable between 4 – 5pm est! Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that this is Oprah Winfrey’s last season. For the last 25 years, the Queen of media (and Personal Branding) has been the most influential person on TV. Her impact on media, talk shows, pop culture and the entertainment industry as a whole can not be under estimated. Her impact has extended it’s reach into politics, education, social causes and a whole new women’s movement!

When she first came on the scene 25 years ago, the primary focus of talk shows was to either bring the the top actors/ actresses of the time on air to talk about their latest project, light banter and singing from the host (ala Mike Douglass and Dinah Shore) . Or the trash talking, audience fighting themed shows like Robert Downey or Ricki Lake. That was fine then, they entertained and served their purpose. But never were there heavy topics and top news stories. And none were used as mediums to educate, turn guests into millionaires just by mentioning their product or book, give away cars or fulfill viewers “wildest dreams“!

Oprah made the decision very early in her career to only do “feel good” TV. She resolved to do shows that would empower and motivate her audience – and it worked!

I don’t think there will ever be another Oprah Winfrey (that role has already been taken!), but when she leaves us after this season, we will continue to see the boundaries of Personal Branding pushed to new limits.

Push Your Own Boundaries
Where most people get stuck developing their Personal Brand is they don’t step outside of their comfort zone. If you notice, those who most successfully develop an effective Personal Brand (Oprah, Donald Trump, Diddy) have done so by pushing the envelope. They did things that most of us have been told wasn’t possible. In order to make a breakthrough with your Brand, you have to be willing and committed to going beyond what is expected of you.
Until you put yourself out there, you won’t even know what you’re capable of. Oprah knew at a young age that she wanted to be a journalist. Most of us don’t figure what we want to be when we grow up until we grow up! But I’m sure even Oprah didn’t imagine that the fame and fortune she has today was even possible for her. Once you push the envelope on your dreams and they become reality, you will get more comfortable with dreaming bigger and pushing beyond those boundaries!

Be Realistic, Not Comfortable
There’s a saying that goes “Do something uncomfortable everyday”. Think about that for a second. When was the last time you made a move (without being forced to) towards your goals, that was scary and uncomfortable at first thought? Have you ever made a cold call to set up an interview with a potential employer or mentor? Have you gone back to school for a degree totally unrelated to what you’ve been doing for the last 25 years?
Warning – Don’t go doing something that’s totally untrue to who you are. Stay authentic to your core values or else you will come across as pretentious and ultimately fail. But do take that first step towards your goal. Set a deadline for yourself and take one uncomfortable step today towards that deadline!

Set Your Intentions Early
As I mentioned, Oprah decided very early on what type of show she wanted to produce. Once she saw that was possible she decided that she wanted to own her show and the production of it. (Something that was up until then unheard of!) But she set her intentions early and didn’t lose sight of her goal. When people realized her intentions and talents for actually making it happen, she could not be denied.
Make your intentions known! Not just to everyone else, but to yourself. Decide early on where you want to be in your career. Once you set your intentions and show your dedication for that, your goals become realized. In fact, you likely get more than you intended, but that just makes the success that much greater!

Happy Branding!!
