Blogwagon
I must admit to having a blog that went unwritten for three years. Every thing has a time and a place. Blogging was a venture I needed to ease into. The blog came in the winter of 2003. In March I had been laid off. I have told the story before. It was unexpected. I was unprepared. I would like to tell you I left the building that day with a cell phone in one ear and a resume in the other as I headed to a headhunter/employment agency/bar. Instead, I went home and didn’t eat. I sat in that stunned silence of hospital rooms or doctors office when you just have gotten some bad news.
It took a couple of weeks to reorient myself. I decided to use the extended vacation time to do something I had been thinking about. I would write an e-course. I had met June Soyka Cook months earlier at a book party in the Muse hotel for my friend Laurie Sue Brockway when she had just released A Goddess Is a Girl's Best Friend. As an odd aside the Muse hotel is directly across from the Church of Saint Mary the Virgin where I would end up working after my lay-off. June with her husband Ken are the owners and operators of www.selfhealingexpressions.com offering a wide array of holistic course offerings through email subscription. I had been co-facilitating the Wild Angels Poets and Writers Group at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine for several years. I understood the value of the written word and the importance of telling our stories. I wanted to do a course around those ideas. So I did.
I enjoyed the process of learning how to create an e-course. I was happy to spend my time in doing something creative, constructive and hopefully beneficial to others. It was a much better way to spend my extended vacation then wallowing in my thoughts of unemployment. This brings me back to my blog. I thought I would create one around the idea of telling life stories. I made several vain attempts at writing and then I abandoned it completely. It was a co-worker who wanted to publish his sermons and asked me how to start a blog that got me back on the blogwagon again. I got books. I read other blogs. I tested some formats out. I revamped my old blog and created a new one. Again it was the process of learning that really made me happy. It has inspired me to do other things. Next I will revamp my website and I am looking at creating some teleclasses and ebooks. I plan to enjoy a fruitful summer. This time I will be gainfully employed.
I invite you to write your life story this summer. My e-course at twenty simple lessons long will lead you through a successful summer of writing. In September you can launch your own book party where you are the star and author of your life tale. A summer is a terrible thing to waste. Think of the great Christmas gift you can give your family. Read the offering below and let us journey through a summer of writing together.

James W. Pennebaker, PhD author Opening Up: The Healing Power of

"Writing for Life: Creating a Story of Your Own" is a creative and thoughtful guide to self-understanding. In 20 lessons, she takes the students' hands and leads them through a series of exercises that deal with family, spirituality, health, the future and the past, and other topics central to human existence.

Wild Woman Tips:
Barbara Winter, author of Jumpstart Your Entrepreneurial Spirit!
Relocation tips.
A few months ago, I moved from Minneapolis (where I had lived happily for 19 years) to Las Vegas. Although I had relocated several times before, this one felt like moving to a foreign country. For a while, I wasn’t sure I’d made a wise decision, but I was determined to give it a fair trial. Here are some of the ways I hastened my adjustment.
* Do your homework before you go. The best idea I got came from my daughter who suggested I get a map of the city and plot out the things I wanted easy access to. Since I had only visited the city as a tourist, I knew nothing about the residential areas, but once I started looking for things like post offices, bookstores and libraries, a pattern emerged and my hunt of a new home got easier. I also ordered relocation kits from the Chamber of Commerce and read the local newspaper online.
* Behave like an anthropologist. It’s easy to make judgments about things that seem odd in a new place. I decided to take a scientist’s approach and study the customs and behaviors of the folks in my new hometown.
* Find something to be enthusiastic about everyday. Whether it was exploring my exquisite neighborhood library or shopping at Trader Joe’s, consciously finding a new delight every day kept my spirits up.
* Seek comfort in the familiar. When I was tempted to feel homesick, I found the perfect antidote: a trip to Target. My favorite store from my old neighborhood has cloned itself in my new one.
* Start making connections. Since Las Vegas has been a popular relocation destination, I had many friends who knew someone who’d come here. I began gathering names. I also put my Do Talk To Strangers policy into action and would instigate conversations wherever I could. Even though I arrived here not knowing anyone, I started to feel optimistic that a new group of friends and associates was here waiting to be discovered.

Romantic tips by Laurie Sue Brockway
13 Steps For Making Your Romantic Dreams Come True:
"Always be ready - you can meet that special someone at the most unexpected
times and places." -- Dr. Judy Kuriansky, The Complete Idiot's Guide To Dating
Welcome to Project Soul Mate.
These tips will help you to open your heart, your arms and your life to love in 2005 and beyond. Forget about searching for the one who might be The One. First, clean up stuff you no longer need, get your life in order, and simultaneously, get ready for love. Here are just a few of my pearls of wisdom on the topic, culled from more than 25 years of work on the front line of the Relationship Revolution and many more than that out and about on Love's Battlefield.
Tip #11: Find the right pace for love
Some of us imagine that when we finally find "the one", that’s when we will finally start living. To the contrary, our job is to live fully… that is how your soul mate will know you. If you are traveling a fast lane of life with little time for nurturing the heart or spirit, or if you hide out in a way that causes life to move too slowly, the window of opportunity could be delayed or missed. Everyone’s path to soul love is unique. The cosmic timing for our personal love stories varies. Awareness, followed by appropriate action, can emotionally, physically and spiritually prepare you for love when Cupid’s coveted arrow comes your way. Help spirit do the work of bringing you and your soul mate together.
