Hey Everyone! WELCOME to the new subscribers since last issue! It's wonderful to see like-minded entrepreneurs join our community! As I write this, I'm sitting outside in our screen house saying a fond farewell to another summer. Where I live, summer's end is marked by a large 4-H Fair every Labor Day weekend. DH (Darling Hubby) and I went this past weekend and got there just in time for the annual auction -- where else can you get a pristine baby grand piano for $70, 5 oak dining room chairs in perfect condition for $5 and $25 worth of Dairy Queen gift certificates for $100? The star attraction this year was an older gentleman who would outbid someone just for the joy of the battle and then pay for the item and give it to the original bidder. He would bid outrageous amounts -- such as $100 for a pair of ping pong paddles -- so he could donate more to the 4- H (all proceeds went to the Club). I loved seeing someone who donated do it in such a way that there were 3 winners: the Club who got the money, the original bidder who received what he wanted (and got it for nothing) and the gleefully-bidding gentleman (who would even don a disguise at times to fool the auctioneer) who took such pleasure in giving. :-) In addition to taking some time for the Fair, I've been preparing to pick and up go to New Hampshire next week. DH and I have rented a house in the woods to serve as a basecamp for our fall foliage tour. I can't wait! Today's fresh new article discusses how you can boost your creativity. . .and your happiness! ENJOY!
Dedicated To Your Extraordinary Success,

newsletter! "Whatever brings you down, get rid of it. -- Tina Turner I first heard this quote years ago and when I saw it again recently while reading a friend's blog (check out today's Recommended Resource), I knew it was time to write this article. It wasn't long ago when a friend asked me what I was tolerating in my life. Tolerating? Me? I have a husband I adore and who adores me, 6 fabulous pets, a house we're comfortable in, supportive friends and family and a business which fulfills me while allowing me to help others. What could I possibly be tolerating? You see, I was working on a project that I just couldn't get my hands around and I couldn't figure out why. I was enthused about the project, just blocked somehow. So I sat down with pen and paper to make a list of everything I was tolerating (although that seemed like a strong word to me). In 15 minutes, I had over 100 items. I was shocked. Even more shocking, once I made a list (I hadn't even done anything with it yet), my creative juices started flowing again. It was as if a dam was somehow let loose inside and I could tackle anything. :-) To show you that my list was not earth shattering by any means, here are a few of the items that I wrote: => curtain rods needed fixing in master bedroom My list was made up of over 90 more items like this. Individually, the items were simple, easy-to-do and, quite honestly, I didn't even realize that some of them were bothering me. All together, however, they representated a vat of unconscious negativity that assaulted me everywhere I turned. I had no idea what the sum total of all these little nagging things meant to my subsconscious. But now, well now they were on *THE LIST*. And being on *THE LIST* meant they could be dealt with. And so I dealt with them: some were done by me, some were on my "honey do" list and others were delegated or hired out. And as each thing was crossed off the list, my creativity and happiness increased exponentially. I thought I had loved my home and my business BEFORE, but now, well now I was on a whole different playing field. And, because nature abhors a vacuum, I began attracting all types of positive things: my coaching practice filled up, my products were selling better than ever and I was invited to co-author a book. So as my creativity and happiness soared, so did my bank account! Your Coaching Challenge I challenge you to take 15 minutes and make a list of everything YOU'RE tolerating. Not sure or don't think you have anything, take a walk around your home and jot things down as you see them. Next time the phone rings, do you joyfully pick it up or do you cringe when you see who it is? Everything, and I mean *everything* that does not bring you joy needs to go on your list! It doesn't mean you have to tackle it all at once, but at least you'll have a list to start from when you're ready. And I'm willing to bet that some of the items on your list will take less than 10 minutes and cost you nothing! Go forth and claim the life you dream of and deserve!
