Go for the Overflow . . .

 

So often we say I want … to lose weight, get a new job, go on a cruise, take a family vacation, etc.  The problem is we talk and talk about it but never really do anything.  

.

A friend of mine wanted to take a family vacation but it wasn’t in the family budget, so she made a definite plan to reach her goal. First she checked the info and found out how much it would cost to take the family on their dream vacation; the hotel, the theme park, food, etc.  Once she had that amount, in this case I think it was $3000.  She sat down with her family and they made a plan.  They all wanted to help.  Any extra jobs they took, babysitting, odd jobs, an extra hours that Mom or Dad worked went directly into the special bank account for the trip.  They had a big jar and would put money in until it was filled and then took to the bank to deposit in their Special’ account. Pretty great idea isn’t it.  They all helped.

.

Now here is a big part of this too.  They made it visual by making a big thermometer poster and kept it right in the kitchen for all to see.  Each time they put money in the account, they colored in the poster.  Imagine their excitement  when they reached the top! Actually went over – WOW! It was a success,  and they were able to go sooner than they thought.

Think on these things… the answers will give you that definite goal that you need.

  • What are you talking about?  

  • What is it that you want?

  • What will it take?

  • What are some steps you can take?

  • Who do you need to talk to?

  • When is your goal date?

This is a great song that makes my heart sing and I want to share it with you.  Last week in KC I gave it out to those who came to the WOW workshop and decided to share it with all of you as well.  

In the verse it says..

     So when you’re out there shopping, just smile at those you meet.

     And share some Christmas cheer and Christmas joy.

     ‘Cause it’s not about the gifts and toys, but Jesus’ love for girls and    

     boys,

     That’s why Christmas is a time to love.

.

LOVE & BLESSINGS – MERRY CHRISTMAS

Is Your Life a ‘Teeter -Totter’?

Some friends and I were talking about ‘Balance’.  Have you ever felt like your life is out of balance, out of kilter (is that the right word?), or maybe you feel overwhelmed and out of control.  Most of us know that feeling!

.

I think it is really about ‘harmony’.  Balance assumes things are equal; work, home, recreation, spiritual. It can seem like a teeter-totter, up and down, up and down, to keep balance.  When our lives get out of balance, it is because it’s hard to keep all of the areas equal, and let’s face it, there are times when balance just isn’t going to happen.  Maybe it’s really about ‘harmony’. 

.

In a band or an orchestra, depending on the movement or the music being played, sometimes the horns are louder, and then maybe the flute comes in, followed by the sweet tones of the piano.  All together it makes for a beautiful song, with a little clash here and there, maybe big loud cymbals, and the relief of a harp or melodic violin line.  The music can be beautiful… but not necessarily ‘balanced’.

In our orchestra of life, our days are filled with many ‘instruments, or choices.  Maybe you have a job that you love and it is taking more than it’s equal share of your time, particularly if you are building your own business. Perhaps you are in the season of life where you children are taking most of your time, or an elderly parent, or you are dealing with an illness of someone you love.  You know what it is in your life. We can still have harmony even when we don’t have balance.

.

There are times when ‘balance’ just isn’t going to happen. Harmony seems to be more realistic. When the areas of our lives are blended together for our ‘life’ orchestra, it can lead to wonderful music, just waiting for the next musical ‘movement’.   We are in the middle of our ‘Concerto’, our ‘Symphony’. Hang in there, it’s not over yet.  The best is yet to come!

Go Find Your YES . . .

 

I love the word YES!  Don’t you? Whether it is YES to having lunch with a friend, to a sale, a new opportunity, new job, or a new adventure. YES is a Fun answer!

.

There is just one catch – (my very own quote =)  . . .

.

“If you Don’t Ask . . . they Can’t Say YES!” 

.

That’s right, you have to ask!

  • If you don’t call and invite a friend to lunch – they can’t say Yes.

  • If a guy doesn’t ask his girlfriend to marry him – she can’t say Yes.

  • If a child doesn’t ask for a puppy – the Mom or Dad can’t say Yes.

  • If you don’t ask for a raise – your boss can’t say Yes.

  • If you don’t ask for the sale – the client can’t say Yes.

 

We often are so afraid that the answer … to whatever the question… is going to be NO, that we don’t ask.

.

When I was a Director in Mary Kay, I found that many of the consultants were afraid to get a NO, because they felt that it was a personal rejection.  Think about it like this.  They are saying no to the opportunity or to the product.  Often they are saying no because they don’t have enough information, they don’t understand the benefits, or because they don’t understand what is required.  In most cases they are not saying no to you.  They are not saying, I don’t like you… you did a bad job… or you are no good… all those crazy things we say to ourselves.

.

Recently at church I asked two ladies if they would like to help on a committee. They both said YES and thanked me for asking.  Isn’t that cool?!  What a blessing to me, and I think they are being blessed as well. They feel connected, making new friends, and seem to be enjoying it.

.

If you are afraid or hesitate to ask for what you want – Ask anyway . . . they might say YES!  and actually thank you.

.

Ask – Go find your YESes!

 

Go out and make it a great day!

 .

Question:  Do you find that you hesitate to ask for something because you are afraid they will say ‘No”? Are you willing to go for it and ask anyway?

 .

TALK to me – I’d Love to Hear from YOU!

Merci, Grazie, Thanks…

 

 

This is Thanksgiving week.  There will be celebrations all over the country, lots of meals shared, stories told, and lots of laughter.  This is a time of reflection and many of us make lists.  Here is my partial gratitude list.

.

I am thankful for

  • You , my readers of the blog,  supporters, and encouragers, thanks for staying with me.

  • My great hubby, Bill

  • My kids, Alicia, Justin and my sweet daughter in law, Emily, and granddaughter Caitri

  • My Mother and sister, and her son, Brighton

  • My brother Greg, his wife Paula, and the whole family  

  • All my cousins all around the country, many I have seen in the last few months, and those I haven’t seen in years.  

  • Wonderful friends at church, too many to list, but you all know who you are – I’m sending hugs your way.

  • Pastors at our church who lead us and share God’s Word

  • Friends in KC, again, I can’t make a total list, but know how much I value our friendship

  • Friends of the heart, that we can go months without seeing each other, and still pick up the conversation as if it was yesterday

  • I am thankful for Freedom, living in a country where we can worship freely and openly.  

.

Most of all I am thankful to be a child of God, daughter of the King, and joint heir with Christ.  (Romans 8:17)  

 

Thank you Lord for saving my soul,

Thank You Lord for making me whole

Thank You Lord for giving to me,

Thy great salvation so rich and free

 .

This is a beautiful picture taken by my great friend Sherry g Rambin.

Thank my God

Blessings to all of you.  What’s on your list?
