Growing Bolder Community

Sharing somebody's success brings us back to a feeling of community, and celebrating as a community is one of life's finest pleasures. Take a moment to call and say 'congratulations', or a 'I'm so happy for you', and really mean it when someone you know has a personal success. Really mean it! Jealousy should have no place in your life. It is a useless emotion except to show you that you are going...

Calling All Teachers - Pay Attention Or You could Be in Detention! I have had the wonderful pleasure to be able to work with students in classrooms, after school programs, and on playgrounds for a number of years. I have had more great days than not-so great days. As a parent and as an educator, I have had my share of situations that required discipline for behavior issues. I may not be an...

Thursday, October 23, 2008 Keep Pluggin' This week has been hectic, but time out for thinking is always important. Sometimes these times are only short moments of standing quietly outside and just listening, others may be alone in my room with my thoughts. Despite the work that was on my desk this week, every night before sleep, I have taken out some time to just contemplate the 'hugeness'...

About a year ago, Fred and I wrote and ebook with some of our networking friends here in Florida called Expanding Your Circles Of Influence. This ebook was about the basics of law of attraction in your business, but more importantly about relationship building and understanding how our minds and those of others work. We are actually giving this away as a free bonus with the purchse of new book...

Will O' The Wisp Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, second only to Christmas. I believe that holidays are often created as an output for creative expression through decorating. Halloween allows the the 'dark' side of our personalities and creative flair to be 'tacky' or even horrific. It provides a great venting of any negativity we may have. I get more excited about carving...

'The Science Project' Update Recently I posted about how my son wanted to do a project about quantum physics and intention at school. He was quickly reminded that school follows a curriculum and has a pattern of its own. There is not a lot of discussion or allowance for 'coloring outside the lines'. For those of you who are following along, I wanted to give you the newest addition to the story...

This Friday should be very interesting. I have been asked by many of my networking friends to 'coach' them on social networking for their business on Facebook. It seems as if they are understanding the importance of 'exposure' more than they did recently. Because I have had so many people offer to actually pay me to show them how to do 'what I do' on Facebook, we are having a 'Facebook Workshop'...

When all the Coaching In the World Doesn't Help I originally got 'started' on this journey when I was in a deep depression. A psychologist, a psychiatrist, my GP, and support groups couldn't help. I was on my own. The feelings of desperation were overwhelming, but for the sake of my children; I was determined to find a way out.Sometimes even now, I experience those same feelings. Although they...

What Happens When you Take the 'Social' out of Social Networking? What happens when the 'Social' gets left out of Social Networking?Well, the answer is P.O.'d people. This I know from experience as both the receiver and being flamed when I did it myself without being aware. There is an etiquette that is expected in networking. Often, I have experienced this etiquette and respect at 'live'...

Working Together - The Time is NOW! I have just received my fourth call today about people in multi-level marketing companies that are so frustrated they can't stand it. Frustration is a nasty emotion, and only necessary, in my opinion, as a powerful motivator to get people to stand up and take action for what they believe in. That said...I personally believe that there has never been a better...
