Imperative Actions for A New Year

2010 is almost here! That means

~~reflecting on this past year; what worked and what didn't work

~~looking forward and leaving the past in the past

~~practicing Gratitude for all that we accomplished and for that which we have the ability to accomplish in 2010.

~~Be sure to write down your Personal and Business goals for the New Year.

~~Make an appointment with your sponsor to discuss a personal plan of action for you in the new year.

~~ Take Action

This sends a message to the Universe using The Laws of Intention and Attraction and puts them on notice that you will be Taking Action and request their assistance.

For those of you less esoteric, the ACTION of writing down your goals makes a kinetic connection with your subconscious, allowing you to move forward on your Journey to Success in the coming New Year.

Compassionate Marketers know the importance of expressessing gratitude for what you already have, and what you will be working to achieve.

Blessings of Abundance, Prosperity Joy and Laughter to you all for a healthy 2010.

May your day be a treasure bringing Increase and Plenty to your door.

Perception, Gratitude and Dancing in the Rain :-)

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass; it’s about learning to dance in the rain.

Author Unknown


Wow! How many of us miss all the good stuff that COULD BE because we just don’t know how to appreciate and live in Gratitude?

Yesterday I woke up and on my way to the stairway I found my English Siamese Pussy Cat, Sweet Pea who had decided to stretch out and take a nap, right at the foot of the stairs. Sweet Pea is the same color as my carpet and I didn’t see her! Ooops! I suddenly felt her fur on the bottom of my foot as a quickly withdrew it and broke my toe in the misstep! Ouch

Living in Gratitude means finding the good or positive things in an event or situation.

If I had stepped on Sweet Pea she could have been critically hurt. Splat! I could have lost My balance and tumbled down the stairwell and broken an arm, leg or worse!

Yesterday was a wonderful day! I did not squish the cat, nor did I break a leg! I am sporting a rainbow toe that is the most beautiful color of raspberry magenta I’ve seen in years. It is a great conversation piece……….. especially for me, a Network Marketer.

Now I am not suggesting that you go and break a toe to start conversations J And, beware of kitties lazing underfoot. The lesson is, however, that I am ever grateful for NOT hurting myself and for my colorful toe which introduced me to several wonderful People yesterday!

Living in Gratitude means perceiving or seeing things differently!

13 years ago I met an old friend, her daughter and husband in New Orleans. I had just moved to Texas from New Jersey, where my friends were still living and it was a reunion of sorts. Two wonderful things happened on that trip!

I wore a lovely summer straw hat on the plane and it seems, other people thought so too as it became a conversation piece allowing me to meet a few great folks, several of whom are STILL my friends. But, when my friends met me at the airport, my dear friend exclaimed, “Oh, it’s just like you to wear a hat and draw attention to yourself”. Negative energy and perception go hand and hand, my friends.

Be aware, be awake and always listen to the Universe!

The second lesson appeared as we were on Bourbon Street going through the Art Galleries and Shops. Suddenly the skies opened up and there was a DELUGE of rain. It rained in torrents for about 15 minutes greeting the already sultry, steamy atmosphere with more of the same.

Make yummy Lemonade, or is this a lesson on Perception?

My friend, bless her, was “upset” about the rain and exclaimed that it was ruining HER day. Me? I put my straw hat on her husband’s head for safe keeping, ripped off my sandals, lifted my skirts and ran out into the gutters splashing into the torrent of water rushing down the street.

A funny thing happened in that that moment. People started emerging out of the shops. After watching me for a minute or two, some of them actually joined me in a “gutter splash”, giggling and laughing to THEIR hearts content! LITERALLY, we were dancing in the rain! I even lifted my head and opened my mouth to TASTE the rain!

When was the last time you tasted the rain?

My friends, “Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass; It's about learning to dance in the rain.” **

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass; it’s about what you do DURING the
Storm that counts!

Remember, you ALREADY ARE everything you want to be, just Take Action and invoke the Law of Intention and her sister, The Law of Attraction will bring you where you want to be!

Go ahead, DANCE in the rain and check this short video out to put a smile on your face!

Thanks to my friend Donna Jean from Thoughts for the Day for sending this poignant reminder to us all!


May your day be a treasure bringing Increase and Plenty to your door.

Practicing Abundance, Prosperity & Kindness EVERY DAY,

July 4th and YOUR Independence

The 4th of July was known as Independence Day!


Happy July 1st my friends!

The events in our great history leading up to The Fourth of July insured that we all might pursue our freedom, greatness and success each as we choose.

Mac Anderson who writes Simple Truths and brings us lovely inspiring videos writes today about personal greatness and success.

"Dr. Martin Luther King said, “Everyone has the power of greatness. Not for fame but greatness. Because greatness is determined by service.”

Success is a very personal thing, but I think most people would agree that true success is about being fulfilled in LIFE. And, I feel there would be no greater feeling to look back toward the end of your life with a “smile in yourheart” knowing that you made a positive difference in the lives of others."

Mac inspired a book which talks about the importance of (hand) writing notes to people because, in this electronic age of email and unlimited phone service, we forget the Joy and Gratitude that a hand written note brings to the recipient. It does not matter what you write; the psycho-emotional message is loud and clear and is that you CARED enough about the person to take a moment to express your gratitude to them, in written form.

Your penned note will be the exception in their mailbox, and one that will not only bring a smile to the recipient, it will give them a feeling of "being thought of" and gratitude that is becoming so illusive these days!

Think back to when you were a kid and Grandma sent you a Birthday Card IN THE MAIL. It mattered note what she wrote or what the card said! What mattered was that she thought enough to send it to you and remembered yourbirthday! Give your customers the gift of Caring. It will come back to you in ways that you could never imagine!

Compassionate Marketing teaches relationship and also teaches that we GIVE a little bit of ourselves when we and scribe notes to our customers and new affiliates. Mac and I are on the same page; what about you?

Be sure to continue to send out thank you notes to your customers. Keep your personal file on them and send birthday, anniversary and no occasion notes too. Your customers will enjoy the notes and KNOW that you appreciate THEM! This is a simple formula for retention, which as we know, pays handsomely. Along the way you will develop many warm & rewarding relationships.

During this week leading up to our "Independence Day", please remember the events in our great history leading up to The Fourth of July insured that we all might pursue our freedom, greatness and success each as we choose. What do you choose?


May your day be a treasure bringing Increase and Plenty to your door.

Practicing Abundance, Prosperity & Kindness EVERY DAY,

Tales from Town Lake: Strange Bedfellows & a Tornado

Taking to Town Lake running trail after the Austin Tornado was gratifying :-) All the 100 year old trees managed to Survive the winds, softball size hail and torrents of rain. Most relented and gave up their weak branches, receiving a "mental cleanse" from Mother Nature.

A Mental Cleanse? Yes! The weak branches were sucking life out of the trees, hanging on for dear life and causing the tree trunk and healthy branches to suffer and wan. Such it is with those of us who cling on to the dead wood in our mind; that which zaps our energies, causes us self doubt and stands in the way of our Success, Joys and Laughter.

A destructive tornado is not necessary for you to clean up your mind. There are some very specific steps you can take that will be positive;

1- Agree with yourself that you need to do some "personal work" to eliminate those ghosties and dead wood

2- Create a Goal to take steps to RESOLVE and LET GO those issues

What to do First?

1- Look at yourself in the mirror and wrap your arms around yourself and have a big hug.

Make sure you tell yourself that "you love you". This is not easy to do and you may have to start with just "liking yourself"!

2- Embark on a DAILY personal growth program (reading, writing, Cd's, tapes, DVDs) 15 minutes IN THE MORNING and then 30-45 minutes before you go to bed.

~~~Starting your day with positive action creates the footprint of your day.

~~~Ending your day with positive thoughts sets your mind to thinking and working through POSITIVE things.

3- Do not Judge yourself. Be KIND to yourself. Experience Joy, laughter and gratitude each and every day. Create a "Blessing Box" and put little notes in it daily. At the end of the day open it up and read your Blessings for the day.

What goes in your blessing box? Here's what is in mine for today so far;

~~~Thank you for raising the water in Town Lake so that the fishes have ample room to swim. Their beauty and frolicking is amazing and joyful!

~~~Thank you for my ability to complete 5.5k run today

~~~Thank you for the opportunity to behold the ducks who survived the tornado. ( White Duck lost her mate and a Mallard Duck adopted her. Since ducks mate for life, it was quite a beautiful thing to see and experience.

Relationships are amazing! Strange Bedfellows CAN create beautiful and lasting bonds!

~~~I am gratified and thankful to be able to offer $160 in free product to New Affiliates this week. (Please contact me for more information)

4. Set your goals and take action daily. Use The Slight Edge and understand that it will work for you IF you do not quite. Take baby steps toward your goals, each and every day.

5. Remember that only you control the thoughts in your mind. You can Vanquish the negative thoughts if you are aware of them and remember that you are in control of who visits your mind. It's valuable real estate. Take charge of who you let in!

6. Practice Abundance, Prosperity and Kindness towards YOURSELF, each and every day!

7. Remember, you ALREADY ARE who you think you are; just take action to bring it to you!

May your day be a treasure bringing Increase and Plenty to your door.

Practicing Abundance, Prosperity & Kindness EVERY DAY,

RS

Giving = Gratitude = Receiving= Success

Compassionate Marketers come in all sizes and colors, and are born out of...............other Compassionate Marketers. As we strive to reach out to others, teach then and help them on their journey to success, we are truly RECEIVING the best gift of all! The Gift of Giving makes us richer than we might ever imagine!

Giving = Gratitude = Receiving= Success

We can learn about Giving from the story of The Red Marble:

"I was at the corner grocery store buying some early potatoes. I noticed a small boy, delicate of bone and feature, ragged but clean, hungrily apprising a basket of freshly picked green peas. I paid for my potatoes, but was also drawn to the display of fresh green peas. I am a pushover for creamed peas and new potatoes. Pondering the peas, I couldn't help overhearing the conversation between Mr. Miller (the store owner) and the ragged boy next to me.

'Hello Barry, how are you today?' 'H'lo, Mr. Miller. Fine, thank ya. Jus' admirin' them peas. They sure look good..' 'They are good, Barry. How's your Ma?' 'Fine. Gittin' stronger alla' time.' 'Good. Anything I can help you with?' 'No, Sir. Jus' admirin 'them peas.'

'Would you like take some home?' asked Mr. Miller.
'No, Sir. Got nuthin' to pay for 'em with.'
'Well, what have you to trade me for some of those peas?'
'All I got's my prize marble here.' '

Is that right? Let me see it, said Miller. 'Here 'tis. She's a dandy.' 'I can see that. Hmmmmm, only thing is this one is blue and I sort of go for red. Do you have a red one like this at home?' the store owner asked. 'Not zackley but almost.' 'Tell you what.

Take this sack of peas home with you and next trip this way let me look at that red marble', Mr. Miller told the boy.

'Sure will. Thanks Mr. Miller.' Mrs. Miller, who had been standing nearby, came over to help me. With a smile said, 'There are two other boys like him in our community, all three are in very poor circumstances. Jim just loves to bargain with them for peas, apples, tomatoes, or whatever. When they come back with their red marbles, and they always do, he decides he doesn't like red after all and he sends them home with a bag of produce for a green marble or an orange one, when they come on their next trip to the store.'

I left the store smiling to myself, impressed with this man. A short time later I moved to Colorado , but I never forgot the story of this man, the boys, and their bartering for marbles.
Several years went by, each more rapid than the previous one. Just recently I had occasion to visit some old friends in that Idaho community and while I was there learned that Mr. Miller had died. They were having his visitation that evening and knowing my friends wanted to go, I agreed to accompany them.

Upon arrival at the mortuary we fell into line to meet the relatives of the deceased and to offer whatever words of comfort we could. Ahead of us in line were three young men. One was in an army uniform and the other two wore nice haircuts, dark suits and white shirts...all very professional looking.

They approached Mrs. Miller, standing composed and smiling by her husband's casket.. Each of the young men hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, spoke briefly with her and moved on to the casket. Her misty light blue eyes followed them as, one by one, each young man stopped briefly and placed his own warm hand over the cold pale hand in the casket.

Each left the mortuary awkwardly, wiping his eyes. Our turn came to meet Mrs. Miller. I told her who I was and reminded her of the story from those many years ago and what she had told me about her husband's bartering for marbles. With her eyes glistening, she took my hand and led me to the casket. 'Those three young men who just left were the boys I told you about. They just told me how they appreciated the things Jim 'traded' them. Now, at last, when Jim could not change his mind about color or size....they came to pay their debt.'

'We've never had a great deal of the wealth of this world, 'she confided,' but right now, Jim would consider himself the richest man in Idaho ' With loving gentleness she lifted the lifeless fingers of her deceased husband. Resting underneath were three exquisitely shined red marbles. The Moral : We will not be remembered by our words, but by our kind deeds. Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath. Today I wish you a day of ordinary miracles ~ A fresh pot of coffee you didn't make yourself. An unexpected phone call from an old friend. Green stoplights on your way to work. The fastest line at the grocery store. A good sing-along song on the radio. Your keys found right where you left them. Send this to the people you'll never forget. I just Did... IT'S NOT WHAT YOU GATHER, BUT WHAT YOU SCATTER THAT TELLS WHAT KIND OF LIFE YOU HAVE LIVED!


May your day be a treasure bringing Increase and Plenty to your door.

Leap Year Gifts!

Save this message. It will only come to you every 4 years :-)

Although I was born in November (1948), I am a "Leap Year Baby" in that I was born in a Leap Year! Maybe that is why I never seemed to have enough time to accomplish all the things I want to do.

What about you?

When we slow down and take stock of WHO we are, WHAT we want to accomplish and HOW we plan on doing that, we can then put a plan into action.

The steps to making a plan are easy:

1- Write it down

2- Use a "help" tool, such as The Slight Edge Charts to measure your daily activity

3. Start and maintain your personal development by reading or listening to cd's on a daily basis.

4. Do a personal "review" weekly and REVISE or ADJUST your activities

5. Find a work out buddy or mentor and connect with them often

6. Make sure that your Plan includes "personal time" to enjoy your family,
friends, and make time for your Spiritual life too!

7. Laugh every day.

8. Give without expectation of receiving anything in return

9. Be aware of your environment, surroundings and the music of nature

10. Practice gratitude


Happy Leap Year 2008! We have an extra day to reach out to others and help them realize that they might live their dreams! Make the most of your extra day and know that you are touching the lives of others in a positive way! The Gift of Giving on Leap Year Day is a special blessing :-)
