Live Like You Mean It - a great theme for Wisconsin tourism...and life coaches

The new Wisconsin Tourism logo and theme were announced this week, Live Like You Mean It.  I like it!   Sure it's been used by others before.  So what.  The point it, it's positive and proactive.  LIVE like you mean it!  Think about it.  Get off the couch.  What are you doing with your life?  What's on your "Live like you mean it" list?  What are you reading that makes you feel something?

There will always be complainers among us.  It's Marty's Gold Brick Theory again, If you gave everybody a gold brick, somebody would complain they had to carry it to their car.... 

Here's the thing, we each get to choose the kind of energy and attitudes we want to put more of into our life and the world.  And which ones we want to hang around with.  Which 'side-affects' do you like better? 

As for me, I see great opportunity and positives with the Live Like You Mean It theme.  The tie-ins to fitness, wellness, travel, making a difference, community, living with intention are all there.  We can make the most of it.  If you're ready to play, ready to live with more energy and purpose and focus, borrow the theme for yourself.  And maybe even find a life coach to help you start if you're not sure how to.  That's what we do:  help people live like they mean it.  Find one in your area or start on my home page.

The gift of life is yours; it is an amazing journey...and you get to determine the quality of it.  - Five

Live like you mean it....  Can't hurt; might help. 

What brings you JOY?

Two quick things today.  

First, think about what brings you JOY and allow your response to guide you.

Follow the muse...and start at Starbucks.  Seriously.  There is a new gift item on their shelves.  It's a small hardcover book with a 5 on it and it's called Where will you be five years from today?   The cover band--that could easily make a bookmark--says the following:

The greatest day

of your life is the one on

which you decide your life

is your own.  The gift of life

is yours--it is an amazing

journey--and you get to

determine the quality of it.

Live the next five years on

purpose.  Now is the time.

Imagine the possibilities.

Go places, have adventures,

make a real difference, do

what you love.  Follow your

dreams, they know the way.

Start the conversation.  The book is a great starting place.  Get a goal partner and help one another.  What's a goal partner?  And how do you find one?  Ask me  and I'll tell you.

I started this business with a five-year plan after a Franklin-Covey class called What Matters Most?   At minimum, the book at Starbucks will get you thinking and PLAYING with joyful possibilities.

The second FUN thing is NEATO PENS!  I love beautiful pens.  Nice Pens bring me JOY.  And I discovered the Colorado Pen Company this week.  If you're like me, you'll enjoy this site like a kid in a candy store.  Check it out.  Talk about a perfect gift playground for pen lovers. 

Take care.  Enjoy!

Intention: Coaching available to Everyday People

Everyday people need coaches too, not just executives.

The  average hourly rate for coaches is $205; For now mine is $75. 

My intention is to make coaching available to everyday people--because I was and am one of those everyday people coaching made a difference for.   In times like now particularly, people need to see possibilities and opportunities and receive support in their strides to appreciate the NOW.

In a world of technology, traffic, and ready information, people still feel alone, energy-drained, unappreciated, and starved for affirmation and support to help them see opportunity, focus on what matters, and ENJOY living.  

And yes, we are tired of being sold to.  We want someone who sees us and what's good about us; the parts we've lost touch with, the essential elements of who we are and why we're here. 

Some have an employer who will fund coaching as a training or professional development investment.  (Never hurts to ask.)  Some prefer not to have their employer involved. 

Coaching is often about the personal side of success--our beliefs and world view about ourselves and those we work with.  We are masters in the roles we play.  And underneath, many still perceive themselves to be frauds and afraid of being found out.  We don't see our natural beauty or the talent we take for granted.  Our spirits are wounded, and we are trying to find our greatness and why we are here.  That's how I help.

I'm a farmer's daughter and I understand that a cost of living increases don't come for everyone each year.  And I have that business, entrepreneurial spirit with a mix of spirit, business, human resources, and education in my background.  And I have a heart, common sense, and a sense of fun.  And I'm a muse--all about art and soul and living well, a playful spirit. 

I choose to work with those who are changing and growing, or ready for a change; desiring to become more sure of themselves, confident, and beautiful in who they are, ready to step forward with intention. 

So no more excuses.  Are you ready for more?   Wellness Incentive coupons  are gifted to each new VIP News Notes member, and  I offer classes, group coaching, and home-study options to fit needs and budgets. 

Properties of Money to remember

Money is meant to flow, like water in a stream.  We exchange money for something of value.  And when we feel the exchange is fair, and we genuinely ENJOY and APPRECIATE the service or item or privilege we've received in exchange for that money, we FEEL GOOD about spending it.  Think about when you've really enjoyed spending money.  What did you buy?  Even paying your bills.  Do you appreciate the electricity you use every day?  How about the use of your phone or car or the internet?  Money is meant to flow.  And it can flow TO us just as easily.

Money likes being paid attention to.  Pay it GOOD attention.  What we resist, persists.  And what we think about, we bring about.  How many ways can you and a friend think of to have more money flowing to you?  Easily, enjoyably.  And spending money?  Easily, enjoyably.

Money is an exchange of value.  Feel good exchanging money for something you value.  Appreciate, and enjoy the benefits of it.  I want learning, personal growth time with a coach to be one of those exchanges you feel really good about. 

A Woman's Worth

Welcome to an amazing 7-week series for women, especially women who desire to lead.  The summer series starts August 13 and uses the classic Marianne Williamson title, A Woman's Worth as a backdrop.  It evolves, as do participants, and includes resources for continued personal growth.  If you or someone you know is looking for a meaningful class, or if you are a woman in transition, reassessing her worth and value, consider this one and join me. 

The series will be offered in the fall as a teleconference starting October 8...meaning your girlfriends in other states and elsewhere can participate by phone.  The beauty of technology.

To growing into, and living out of, our greatness. - Anne :)

Self-discovery is a sacred path.  Life enjoyment, finding JOY in living, is its purpose.

The Reiki Touch and What is Reiki

Hello Great People, When I mention the healing room here at Kindred Spirit Center, and that we have several people who offer reiki healing sessions, I often get the question, What is Reiki?   So I invited Sue, Vicki, and Cindy to host an informational session.  Sue responded first.  So the gifted Sue Katzuba will be your presenter.  In fact, she's going to offer four sessions, one each month (July, August, September, October), to give more of you a chance to get your questions answered.  Your first opportunity is July 31.  Other dates are August 21, September 18, and October 16.   Mark your calendar and come.  Reiki is a non-invasive healing modality, healing hands spoken of and practiced throughout history. Welcome.  - Anne

Pennies on the Wall

I work in a magical, sacred space kind of place, of positive energy and kindred spirits, ones I see and ones I can't.  It's a place where pennies stick on the walls, held up only by intention and pure positive energy.  It feels good here; warm, calming, and welcoming.  The pennies on the wall are a daily reminder this is someplace special, a place where people come to feel better. 

It started in May of 2006 when life coach colleague friend Linda Farr held a class on The Secretand the Law of Attraction.  The next day, there were pennies on the wall...with a note explaining that the pennies were put up there during the class, that they were held up only by the power of intention (ask and it is given).  The note asked if we'd mind leaving them (the pennies) up. 

Of course we'd leave them up...and we added a few of our own.  Since then, others have done the same.  And when visitors return to Kindred Spirit Center, guess what they look for first?  Their pennies on the wall, of course.
