ARTArticleDeveloping Your AwarenessReal life is full of possibilities and opportunities that the normal mind is unaware of. That’s because the normal mind is rarely present – our subconscious mind expends most of our energy focusing on its internal ‘stored knowledge’. Taking the psychological-speak out of the last sentence, we are normally living in the past – and we’re completely unaware of it.
In fact, generally speaking, we’re unaware, full stop!rARTArticleDiamonds Versus Cubic Zirconia’sIt’s time to take the phrase “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” to a whole new level. When it comes to carats are you going for quantity or quality? VVS1 denotes a higher clarity grade diamond. Why is that important? If you are looking to make significant changes in your world, start focusing on the VVS1 Diamonds in your own life!
Here’s a dichotomy. I’m too busy & I don’t have enough money. It’s not possible. If you are running around busy, busy, busy all the time with “non-income producing activities”, it’s not the best use of your time. Value Your Time!ARTArticleDirect sales party: Party your way to accomplishment!Direct sales parties will allow you to party plan your way to financial success! Think about it! You organize a celebration at your home, invite a bunch of your nearest contacts, rustle up some party nibbles, and build a good environment to showcase your products.ARTArticleDo I Have to Be The Good Wife?Whether in the media or creatively integrated into television dramas we've watched time and again the dutiful wife standing beside her husband who's been caught in some sex scandal, criminal act or any other type of behavior requiring a public mea culpa. Some look sincerely supportive. Others look like they're rather be eating asphalt than where they are. Some look ready to punch the guy in the nose. A scant few are very noticeably missing in action.ARTArticleDon't Be EvilARTArticleDon't Discount Your ValueARTArticleDon’t Forget to Plan for Travel TimeDo you feel like you’re always running late to appointments and events no matter how hard you try to be on time? Do you frequently lose patience when caught in traffic because you’re rushing to get somewhere? Many of my clients, especially those with ADHD, experience the same frustration.
One common cause of their recurring tardiness is not building travel time into their schedule. There are sometimes other issues as well, such as being anxious about arriving early and having nothing to do, but ignoring how long it takes to get somewhere is almost always part of the mix.ARTArticleDon't Let the Recession Drive Your Prices DownIn a time of recession, there is a reluctant tendency to lower prices. Rather than targeting people who can’t afford your services, target the ones who can. Think of creative pricing strategies to keep your existing customers and to get new ones. Offer discounts to only your loyal repeat customers, and or only for premium purchases.ARTArticleEasy does it but do itHow to turn “Easy Does it” into Do it
Introduction
Why easy does it works; It’s the old adage haste makes waste.
Each day nature gives us a great example of easy does it as slowly, the sun rises every single day. Learn from this to go gradually, pace yourself
Agnes Repplier:
“It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.”
“Easy does it” is a great slogan. I first learned about in Alcoholics Anonymous.
When you say, “take it easy.” It means to go about life without stress, tension or anger.ARTArticleEffectively Handling Personal Life ChangesExperiencing changes in one’s life is often seen as an insurmountable task. No one likes going through changes. Not even those who have been through it and have reaped the blessings that came with making those changes. Why? Because going through change is akin to going through a re-birth. It is painful, uncomfortable and downright annoying. It interrupts your life as you know it, it leaves you feeling confused, angry and irritable. Although, if you are feeling all those feelings, chances are you are resisting the changes. How can a person resist change?ARTArticleEliminate Linen Closet ChaosJumbled sheets, mountains of pillows, and towels tumbling out when you open the door - does this sound like your linen closet? Your linen closet has great potential to be a highly functional storage area. However, it's easy for things to disappear in it if you don't keep it organized. You can tame your disorganized chaos with these easy steps.ARTArticleEnergy Challenges - Steve Daines For CongressOur challenges regarding energy issues must be attacked wherever it makes sense to do so. The most glaring of these issues is our dependence on foreign oil. This dependence is a genuine threat to our economy, the national security of the US, and our way of life. We’ve seen what oil embargos can do to our economy. The fact is we are still relying on oil imported from countries that may or may not have America’s best interest at heart. A malicious decision by even one of our largest oil importers can have immediate and severe ramifications.ARTArticleEveryone Needs Stress BreakersSince it’s nearly impossible to completely eliminate stress from your life, why not look for ways to manage it. Using Stress Breaker techniques will alleviate or shorten the effects of stress on your life.
Your focus on stress is what determines how you allow it to affect your life. Now don’t start listing all the reasons why your life is stressful. That does NOT serve you and this is all about empowering yourself to achieve better balance in your life. Are you ready to step into that?ARTArticleExiting the "Blame GameI recently came across an internet thread in which a lady of much intelligence and perception observed that many women are "simply trying to deal with the pain that has been directly inflicted upon them time and time again."
This is very true, but must NOT be mistaken for the statement "and therefore, men are worse than women." That is a separate statement, which would have to be defended quite separately from the simple, painful statement that many women are in pain.ARTArticleExperience Will Transform Your LifeHaving just completed another 'Client-Only' Advanced Workshop, I continue to get the impression that there is a gap between intellectually grasping and understanding the very simple and scientifically proven concepts on which my workshops, books and websites are based, on the one hand and actually putting the simple and practical actions into place, on the other.
And that gap between understanding and doing is down to experience.ARTArticleFacebook and Occam's RazorEvery month or two, the employees at Facebook run what are known as Hackathons. For 24 hours straight, all the participants try to work on a new project that could improve Facebook. The "Like" button and the ability to upload videos on Facebook were just two applications that were invented out of such a Hackathon event.
Mark Zuckerberg believes that most good applications are the simplest ones, and therefore one should be able to create a great program within a short period of time. This is why the Hackathon only takes places for 24 hours.ARTArticleFailure as a Welcome FriendFailure as a Welcome Friend
“Be of good cheer. Do not think of today's failures but of the success that may come tomorrow. You have set yourselves a difficult task, but you will succeed if you persevere; and you will find joy in overcoming obstacles. Remember, no effort that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost".
~Helen KellerARTArticleFailure is Not the End of the RoadMy girlfriend and I are "American Idol" (FOX) junkies. We promise to stop watching year after year, but we keep going back. This is the first year that she watched the auditions, which happens to be my favorite part of the series.
The phrase that always bothered me is when a contestant says, "This means everything to me." Are you serious?! It's this contest or nothing? First of all, "American Idol" is not a contest. "American Idol" is a televised audition. Let's get that's get that straight first.ARTArticleFalling GracefullyI am such a failure!
Not a very nice thing to say but it’s true. I’ve failed. I’ve made mistakes. I’m imperfect. I’ve made a mess. So what?
There are only 2 exits in life and they both involve falling.
I can’t remember where I read to “Fail Forward Fast”, but that term really resonated with me and if I’m going through a difficult time I remind myself that successful people fail more than unsuccessful people.
When I heard the absolute secret of success is to double your failure rate. I wanted to celebrate! Studies have shown that people who try the most also fail the most.ARTArticleFeminine Power: What Is It and Is It Female?I’ve read several articles on feminine power recently and I’ve seen groups formed online with feminine power as the title. I even participate in one on Facebook. The Dalai Lama has been quoted as saying, “the western woman will save the world”.
So, is feminine power limited to women? I don’t think so. I see it as a part of being human and it is needed to balance masculine power, which is also a part of being human. There is no cut and dry explanation for how these two powers express, though there are general characteristics that define them.ARTArticleFierce, Fabulous & FearlessNow Is The Time To Build Extreme Confidence and Become the Unstoppable, Unbreakable & Unshakeable Female Entrepreneur You were Born to Be…
What has been stopping you? Think of all the things you haven't done YET. Have you let self doubt, fear and lack of self-confidence hold you back from achieving your goals.

Ok, let’s start with an explanation if what an in-between is. In the broadest sense, the in-between is the time between your birth and your death. Then take that and break it down more into the time between being a child and an adult, the time between each year, each month, each week, each day, each hour… You can also think of this as the time between each different activity you are doing. You get the picture.ARTArticleFlauntEvery night before I go to bed. I write out 10 successes for the day. Some days they're monumental other days they're not but no matter how big or small I celebrate them all. By writing your successes, you focus on your successes; . you will draw more success to you. Whatever we focus on expands.
You've got talent!
You've got skills!
What are you doing with it? .ARTArticleFocus - What It Is and How to Do ItThe word ‘focus’ is often used in the context of success. We’re told, for example, that highly successful people are better focused than the rest of us. We hear stories about athletes or sports people who are totally focused. Surely, if either you or I could get some of this focus, at the very least, our lives would be the better for it. We might not end up being world-beaters – we may not even want to be world-beaters – but a little focus, a bit more success and a lot of happiness wouldn’t go astray!! So, what is focus? What does being focused mean? How can I focus my mind?ARTArticleFocus on Organizing Your PhotosHappy New Year! I hope the coming year is your best yet. If you’ve been enjoying the past month of holiday celebrations as much as I have, you probably have lots of photographs capturing the good times. The question now is what to do with all those photos. If your pictures are in digital format, you may choose to store them electronically on your computer or one of the many photo storage websites that are available (eg., Picasa, Flickr, etc.). But what about the photos you choose to print, as well as the mountains of old photographs you have stashed away in boxes and drawers?ARTArticleFocus on Progress to Prevent Perfection ParalysisGuess what the following people have in common? I have a friend who wanted to be a screenwriter at one point, but he never wrote a single line. He's excuse was that he couldn't think of a script that was guaranteed to sell. I have a photography client who hasn't touched her camera in over a year because she's waiting for an ideal photo project. I have a family member who has been living with his parents for over five years because he refuses to get a job, and is waiting for a million dollar business idea.ARTArticleFocused Prayer is a Spiritual Power Tool“The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” Proverbs 18:21 New International Version (NIV)
There is nothing bizarre or mysterious about the power of focused affirmative thought and prayer. It has been proven over and over again, both in Christianity and in the other major religions as well, to create tremendous results in individual lives. In fact if you read scripture you will see references to fervent focused prayer and meditation throughout. What do you think Jesus was doing when he went off for time alone?ARTArticleForgiveness Begins With YouBeing betrayed by a loved one can leave you feeling angry, unwilling to trust again and angry. You may also suffer a blow to your self-esteem and most devastating of all, heart-break. The pain of heart-break is so intense that you feel as if you are losing your mind. Having a deep love for someone will make the pain you feel after the betrayal and hurt that much more intense. Betrayal can occur in any type of relationship.ARTArticleFrom Hole to Whole: The Strength to BelieveFrom Hole to WholeARTArticleFrom Ugly Duckling to Swan SongI love the fairy tale, The Ugly Duckling, written by Hans Christian Anderson in 1844. Here’s the Cliff Notes version. One spring day, a baby swan is born into a duck family and it’s immediately apparent that he just doesn’t belong: His egg is much larger than the others and after he’s born, he’s physically bigger, more gray, and gangly than his siblings. His family members and the rest of his community shun and criticize this ugly duckling, so he leaves home in shame.
