Just when you think they've produced some great work, Mac Anderson & Simple Truths come out with ANOTHER amazing book:
Dear Em,
In a perfect world, we hear something once, record it in our brain and never have to hear it again.
Well, I don't know where you're living, but my world is far from perfect. I occasionally have doubts, fears and disappointments in my life. During those times, I need “shots of inspiration” to reinforce, to encourage, and to motivate.
That's what my new book Charging the Human Battery is all about...
50 ways to motivate yourself! I think that one of the great challenges in life is to get inside our own heads, and truly understand what makes us tick. It's not easy, but this little book was written with that in mind.
Just remember...people are like sticks of dynamite; the power's on the inside but nothing happens until the fuse gets lit.
It is my hope that as you read there will be many “a-ha moments” to light your fuse, and keep it lit, through good times and bad.
But here's the key...keep it close and read it often. Because as my friend Zig Ziglar said, “People often tell me that motivation doesn't last, and I tell them bathing doesn't either, that's why I recommend it daily!”
As I mentioned, there are 50 short chapters, and each one shares an idea that has the potential to turn your switch from “off” to “on.”
Live with Passion,
Mac Anderson

Nash's Debut!!!!!!
I think April asked, do you have a tail or is that a cat???
Oh, it's a cat. one of two. We have littermates, brother & sister, Nash (nasheroni) and Sophia. They are pretty much awesome. the most relaxed and chill cats EVER!! Disregard my chuckling while my husband rolls Nash across the floor. This is a daily occurence. Too freakin funny! :) We call it Kitty Burrito! Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Enjoy:

Good Idea.
www.greatday.com one of my favorites!!
Give your goal a feature that will vastly improve its chances of being fulfilled. Give your goal a deadline.
A deadline provides a firm boundary for your efforts, yet it does not limit or constrain those efforts. On the contrary, a deadline will focus your efforts toward a single point, giving them more power and practical effectiveness.
Without a deadline you can exhaust yourself and still not arrive at any meaningful accomplishment. A deadline compels you to prioritize and to expend your best efforts in the most meaningful direction.
With a deadline, you are constantly reminded of how valuable and precious your time is. You're able to see resources and opportunities that would otherwise remain hidden.
A deadline encourages you to do the best you can with what you have. And that's a skill that reliably leads to great accomplishment again and again.
Give yourself a deadline. And get the job done sooner rather than never.
-- Ralph Marston

KALIMERA!
Good morning!!!!!!!! Again, see post below and THROW AWAY YOUR CANDY! DO IT! AND GO BRUSH YOUR TEETH!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Hey, do you know what today is? The start of a new month. I LOVE setting goals and this month is no different. last night the hubs and I went over our personal goals for the month of November. It was great, we talked it out, wrote it out and signed off on each others. Gotta have support for your goals, no doubt about it!
Anyway, Nov. WILL be a fabulous month: Physically, Spiritually, Mentally....every aspect---I have at least one goal for each!
What are your goal? What can you do in 30 days?? And I'm not just talking physically......but of course that's typically the bloggerworld subject!
Have an excellent Nov. 1st. Seriously, if you haven't written them down (your goals) do it, and if you wanna do it here or on your blog, I'd LOVE to sign off on your goals, as well!!!!!!!!!!!
love X10~

Wow
I found this really interesting. There is a "dark" world of competing if you are lead by the wrong people. I recommend this link for everyone, and try and read it without being defensive. Just read & absorb it. Very very interesting!
