Are you a Woman of Purpose?

My On Purpose Networking for women honored Patsy Anderson, creator/coordinator of the Womens Expo!
It was a fantastic event!  Here are some photos of some of the gang! :)

Patsy does radio, the Womens Expo-promoting it all year long & making constant referrals-showing support for baby boomer women and the solopreneur/small business owner!  Heck, even when we were honoring her-she referred people to sign up for my ezine!  "She is so funny & knows her stuff!"  Thanks, Patsy! :)

The energy & enthusiasm is so healing for a depressed woman or man-not convinced, she/he will ever feel better-having many transitions at one time!  Just feel overwhelmed!

I am a Woman of Purpose-tho' not an awardee...I love what I do-it is my purpose & passion.

Are you a Woman or Man of Purpose?

Thinking of Abundance & Law of Attraction...

When I went to Sedona for that Wealth & Life Balance Retreat, I had no plan that it would be the start of pretty major transitions!  Here am I, an expert on Transitions-wrote on the Transition Cycle & really help my coaching clients get unstuck & moving forward toward achieving their dreams.  I do this by creating an environment of support, comfort & positive energy!

Sure, I knew about the Law of Attraction & positive "vibes", but I'd never said I used this abundance-thinking in my coaching!  But I do! :)

At Sedona, I heard James Ray, a Law of Attraction expert-was in the "Secret" & his weekend was profoundly life-changing!

Why write on this?  Often, we think of transitions as negatives...but, they also have very positive aspects-it's often, a new way of thinking or acting!  This isn't necessarily bad.  The one constant is change.

What has helped you in transitions?  Me, it's Law of Attraction, abundance-thinking & intentionality.

What works for you?

The Transitions of our friends...

I received an email from a former student-angry that I'd lost touch-she did, too.  But, it's all good-I am not blaming!  Friendships come & go and what once was...sometimes has to change.  The transition from employee to small business owner...an entrepreneur & a solopreneur-makes time even more precious...Friendships are a very vital part of my life.  I want to keep them all & add more!

When my coaching clients are changing, some of their friends change, too.  New ones that support her new outlook...goals-dreams enter & those that don't/can't or won't exit...You won't be able
to say all you wanted to, and mourn this loss.  But, this is a natural & sometimes necessary part of the transition process!

Our lives can be so crazy busy that it seems we lose people along the way.  But, we also gain others.

My supporters/friends are mostly entrepreneurs and encourage me to stretch as I delve into Internet Marketing & eCommerce!

Can we hang on to our friends from a previous life?  I'm not sure.  What do you think?  Please comment!

Have you ever been to a Womens Expo?

This past weekend, from set-up Fri...to tear-down Sun was The Womens Expo in Catonsville, MD USA.  It was a blast! (picture below of a dear friend, Ann Kirby of Enncourage You, Inc & me!) And, a great networking time-my coaching client that came, made contacts that may land her a job!  I got a speaking gig & an interview out of it and recorded my talk on Thriving During Transition-Using the Law of Attraction!  Look for my Cds!

There were 175 exhibitors-most midlife women.  What energy!  Both women & men attended!

I'm already planning 2008-Womens Expo.

What's your experience?  Ever been to a trade show/Womens Expo?

Daylight Savings Time

I took a sabbatical-longer, than planned, fell in my office!  I'm ok-just bruised & killed my laptop!

But, time is sooo important an issue-had to write!  As a boomer woman/coach, I talk to my boomer women clients about there not being a set time for dealing with transitions!

As a solo-entrepreneur, my time is spent transitioning from "the boss" back to being a supportive spouse, friend, catparent, Managing Director of a virtual community &...You all know the juggling & multitasking...

But now, Time is changing!

Daylight savings will now start three weeks earlier beginning on this Sat, March 11, and ends one week later, April 1 (and again between October
28 to November 4). Hey, the media says don't worry...be happy-you're saving Energy!  This won't be anything like the potential nightmare that Y2K could have been, but, there might be minor irritation - an Outlook calendar, for example...

Change is the only constant!  It's All Good...

What do you think about all this?
