December 27, 2010

This is the last publication of the year and I am wishing all of
you a terrific 2011.  Take some time and reflect on what this
year has been about for all of you.  What are the lessons learned
and what would you change?  What would you jump up and down about
and repeat over and over?  Blend those things and make 2011 what
you want it to be!

Well, I didn’t get to any of my “chick flicks” as I spent most of
my time studying DVD’s I had bought and webinars that I had missed
but were stored online.  This is my best time for getting those
things done, but I did get to see “Mame” at the Stage Door Theatre
and it was terrific.  The music still gets you singing and swinging
and the cast was fantastic.

Got a good report from my doctor once again.  He thinks my skin is
becoming more flexible even though I don’t see it at all.  Wants
to schedule me for operation #2 sometime in January or February,
although officially this is surgery # 13.

Becoming more active with Nova Southeastern U. (NSU) my alma mater
for my Doctorate.  Since I am no longer on the board at Emerson
College, I can now concentrate on doing more here at home.

My son, a friend and I spent Xmas dinner together as my daughter,
grand-daughter and great-grandson were up in Port St. Lucie with
the baby’s granddad.  You would have thought they were packing
for a two week stay as the car was loaded to the gills and my
daughter had the dog on her lap the whole way.  But they had a
good time and that’s important.

I am defintely having my first teleseminar next month and it will
be by a dear friend of mine who is a fantastic coach and consultant
who had a heart attack at the young age of 53.  She will talk about
the signs, what to do and how to deal with something like that,
along with giving some great business tips as well (knowing her!)
Stay tuned for the day, time and call in number and alert your
friends if you think they would be interested.

Question and Answer:

Q:  I am finding that as I date, people are turning out not to be
who they said they were.  I keep falling into the trap of taking
people at face value and believing what they tell me.  Any hints
on how to be a little smarter?

A:  Other than being your own private detective, it is sometimes
hard to know when people are scamming you or just great story
tellers.  One of the reasons I think people need to take it slow
and easy is to find out as much about the other person as possible.
Usually when you’re with someone for a sizeable amount of time,
something slips out and you catch them in some inconsistencies.
You should concentrate on the activities you like to do rather
than theirs, so at least you can enjoy where you go and what you
do while you are investigating their behaviour.  When they tell
you they have worked some place, check it out.  If they hedge on
their past relationships (surely they’ve had them), see if they
are close to their children or have a tolerable relationship with
their ex.  That tells you an awful lot about someone.
I just wrote an email to my sister and told her how longer she,
my mom and I have been because of the wonderul men we married.
It’s difficult to find Mr. Right but not impossible, so hang in
there and keep trying.

Tips:
1.  An average person who applies herself will be able to rise to
the greatest heights if she only tries over and over again.
2.  Take every opportunity to get up in front of the public.  As
you do, you will begin to feel more comfortable in your presentations.
3.  There are no  completely right or wrong decisions, and not to
decide IS to decide.
