Shed More Than Pounds!

It is wise to shed those things in our lives that do not serve us, that illicit pain emanating from our core. First we have to stop long enough to recognize and identify what these things are that steal our joy ... then take the step in strength to execute. To cast off.

By removing these things, step by step, (which is how you climb a mountain or eat an elephant; opps, that would be bite by bite), that cause pain our lives which force us ultimately to live in lies; we will find truth and the peace we seek.

Energy doesn't lie and we don't fool anyone by masking these negative strong holds. More than likely, we take these "things" and use them as weapons against the people we love.

Hold on to the Father's hand as you walk your journey. He says ... "For i know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to give you hope and a future!

Call upon Him and go and pray to Him and He will listen to you ... He says this in his word, in my favorite passage and life verse from the bible ... Jeremiah 23:11-12.

It may be bikini time and you are thinking of the pounds you wish to remove from your body to be beach worthy, but the truth is, the best thing you might want to shed are the not pounds but pressures weighing against your heart that drag you down.

When you run a race, the extra pounds will pull at your body and slow you down, but think of the baggage you carry, when you are not true to self.

Step by step, bite by bite ... one at a time, identity and remove those things clutching your soul and shed the core of what does not serve you and your highest good! Imagine who you will become!

What Happens that We are Not Open To See

When I was a little girl, I believed when I left the room the stuffed animals, I so meticulously lined up on my pillow, after I made the bed would come to life. I imagined them dancing around and having a blast and then when a human walked in the room, they froze. I know, I know. A bit weird and I even forgot about this until I recently went to see the movie, "A Night at the Museum" with a girlfriend of mine.

I can't help but wonder ... what goes on behind the scenes when we are not looking at life? Is there something our eyes are closed off to that we can not see? What are we avoiding or not fully looking at? Are we blind because we are too afraid to notice, look or if we did, it would force us to change? Are we too busy to focus?

Ask yourself what you might be missing today. What life are we not imagining because we just can't believe it. Is life dancing around you but you have not stood up and taken notice?

Open your eyes today. Imagine. Believe. Let go and see what you might be missing.

Choices

We always have choices. And once we choose, we leave something behind.
As long as the quality of your life is good and you have a good attitude about it,
that is what matters.

Life is short and it isn't possible to always do the right thing, or do all the things you want to do. So we have to choose. What decision serves you for the higher good or for the benefit of the big picture and the people you love the most? That is the question to ask before you choose.

BLOG, TWEET, EZINE, EBLAST, SOCIAL NETWORKING ... YIKES!!!

Blog, doesn't mean a typo for "jog". Tweet isn't what you hear from the trees as the sweet sound of birds chirping above. An Ezine is not an enzyme and Eblast not debris from something the space shuttle left behind. Don't forget Facebook! No, Facebook isn't for strategic teens plotting who will go to prom with who.

Each of these terms reference an online communication tool under the faction, of "new media"; the new methodology to reach your target audience.

If your company is not utilizing one or all of these online marketing tools then you may be viewed as a dinosaur.

To promote your product or service don't be left behind. Facebook reached it's 2 millionth user in April 2009. Of these users, the fastest segment of growth came from the 35 and over age category.

My 81 year old father has a hard time using a cell phone, understanding the concept of text messaging and a laptop is an anomaly.

Keep it fresh. It is time to blog, tweet and ezine. Book it on down to the Facebook site and log on to create your profile now. Don't wait too long. Sooner than later, there will be another important technologically savvy social networking tool in the cue for you to master next.

Finishing

There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth:
Not going all the way and not starting. Buddha

Congratulations to the Leadership Manhattan Beach Class of 2009 for graduating.
One was my son. I am very proud of his accomplishment and the class as a whole.

Whatever you are engaged in, at present, finish. No matter the outcome, the result will be that you finish something you have started.

Add Zip to Your Website

Hey, today I did a really cool thing. My friend Charlotte Marshall produced a small video clip that I will place on my website once edited. She asked that I come prepared to answer two questions:

Why do I do what I do?
What sets me apart from others who do what I do?

Just sitting down prepping for the questions made the video taping valuable.
The process of asking myself these questions was thought provoking and gave me something to really consider.

So, why do you do what you do? What makes you different?
If you don't like doing what you do, what can you change?
