First, let me extend a warm welcome to everyone I met at Bracket a few weeks ago and at this past Saturday’s Collingswood Book Festival! So glad to know you and have you as part of my community!

I’ve been hearing from you. Lots of you.

If I had to sum it up, I would say that you are…

• Excited about your future, but anxious about how it will all unfold

• Feeling rich in spirit, but desiring more cash flow

• Exhausted and feeling heavy, and eager to re-kindle your spark and have more energy

• Desiring support to “make it all better”

I want you to be successful, so you can make a positive impact on the world even sooner and in an even bigger way. And I want you to be able to do this with a sense of ease, joy, and steady focus. (Because they lead to better results!)

So, here are some free, portable tips that helped me this past week, easing back into “normal life” after my friend Pat’s funeral and my trip back home. Call them the 3 C’s for Ease, Joy, and Focus!

CLARITY

Sit down and write out what is most important to you in the big picture.

Write on an envelope, the back of a napkin, in a notebook, or journal, anywhere.

This will help you have some perspective, and make it easier to let go of the small stuff.

COMMUNITY

Get thee some support! Don’t go it alone.

Reach out to friends, colleagues, healers, therapists, etc.

More often than not, they too are experiencing similar challenges and welcome the opportunity to connect more deeply with you and support you.

CONNECT

If you’re not spiritual or religious, you probably have your own version of quieting your mind to connect to what’s deep inside you—that place where peace and steady calm reside.

Maybe you run. Maybe you golf.

Maybe you journal, or walk in nature, or play with your dog or kids or grandkids.

If you are spiritual or religious, get back on track with the practices that support your connection to spirit, Source, God, Universe, the Divine. Maybe it’s prayer.

Maybe you practice yoga or meditate. Maybe you do something in service to others.

Cultivate and nourish your connection to the source of your divine spark of life and creativity. Daily, if possible.

SPECIAL OFFER for GROUP INSPIRATION AND SUPPORT

If you’d like to invite me to lead a workshop or talk at your place of work— or even spend an evening with a group of friends in your home (call in a “girls night in” sort of thing!), I’ll share Eastern-inspired practices guaranteed to melt stress, refocus energy, and refuel spirit.

We can even incorporate a book signing for my new book, Recharge, Refuel, and Re-energize: Your Guide to Taking Back Control of Your Time and Energy, or perhaps Reiki attunements for those interested.

I’ll customize the event just for you.

Contact me by email for more details.

NOTE: I leave on October 23 to lead this Fall’s Bali Retreat, and would love to hear from you before then so we can schedule something for the months of November through February. 😎
