Monday Morning Motivator-SO OBVIOUS YOU COULD MISS IT...

It never ceases to amaze me that some of the most wonderful ideas, best solutions and coolest inventions are so obvious, so there in front of us - that we simply don't spot them. We're oblivious to the obvious! I mean, who among us couldn't have thought of the "finger guard" for slicing onions or the "remote control bottle opener," for heaven's sake? Well, somebody did - and they're probably making fortunes. And we're left with, "Why didn't I think of that?" But look at our lives. There are so…See More

Monday Morning Motivator-ROLLING AROUND IN LOVE

ROLLING AROUND IN LOVE...It seems like there's a lot of hate out there...floating around, looking for a place to land. What we're vehemently against has, for the moment, won the day over what we're passionately for. And the hate can land just about anywhere - on a country, a company, a government, an idea...a person. It's absolutely debilitating. No wonder we're exhausted, overwhelmed, stressed out and well, just plain negative. Hate is in the air. I overheard a woman speaking to her husband on…See More

Monday Morning Motivator-DON'T GO IN THERE LOADED FOR BEAR...

DON'T GO IN THERE LOADED FOR BEAR... It doesn't work. Okay, you haven't had a raise in a really long time, you're doing a yeoman's job, other people are getting paid more and you're really feeling taken advantage of. Same thing if you feel you deserve a promotion - and have for, what? Years? Or, let's say, a colleague whom you thought was a friend has said something really negative about you behind your back to your boss. I know: Your instinct is to absolutely "go in there" and let 'em have it,…See More

Monday Morning Motivator-ON THE ROAD

ON THE ROAD There's a thoroughly charming children's book by Arnold Lobel that I read to Kate and Abigail when they were little, called Grasshopper on the Road. It's about a grasshopper who decided one morning to go on a journey. "I will find a road," he said, "I will follow that road wherever it goes." On his journey, Grasshopper meets all sorts of creatures who are zealots about one thing or another and want Grasshopper to agree with them, join their "clubs" or follow their "rules." He meets…See More

Beth Holmes replied to Gail Blanke's discussion 'Gail Blanke on NPR'
I 'just happened' to hear this on NPR, in the car last week. Timing is everything! Exactly what I needed at exactly the right time. Not that I remembered Gail's name (part-timers disease...), and I did remember "throw out 50…

Thanks for your encouragement! I wouldn't describe myself as a hoarder, but once in awhile I get distracted & things start to build up.

Just finished listening to the book, loved it, have started to listen again for continued motivation! Was sitting with my husband late last night at the kitchen island deep in discussion, when out of the blue, he said, "have I ever told you how much I hate that stuff there on the window sill?" It took me about 5 seconds to jump up, grab every item and every plant except the aloe (JUST in case) and ran to the trash can. Wiped off the sill, added my favorite little pitcher (an immediate warm memory for me of my 1960's childhood, no longer lost among the clutter!) and instantly felt 100% better! Thanks for helping me remember that less can be more!

Hi Gail! I am sorry I was out of touch for so long. But you will be happy to know that I was working on the program. I am almost finished and have learned a lot about myself. I will be writing about my discoveries and realizations in the coming weeks. Through this process I finally found the strength to make an important decision. It was not easy but it was right. More to come....

What did I throw out? The cat, of course!
Naw, only kidding. That's Temujin, my fierce warrior pal. If he had his way, I'd be throwing out a lot more.
I started in the bedroom today and finding lots. The bedroom has been a place to hid my junk from visitor's eyes. Besides clothing, I am getting rid of an old aquarium that does really make me feel bad. I wasn't so good about keeping those fish alive.

I have a question, When will the workbook be available?
i think your website needs a FAQ's section because I'm pretty tech savy and it confuzzles me.
I couldn't finish the my name is -------and I'm the one who--------- statement on my own so i posted it on facebook and waited for my friends to finish it. Some of my former H.S. students gave interesting answers

So true. As a matter of fact, my hubby spent ALL DAY today purging old files!
