1/3/13 Celebrations

MC900335180

Things to celebrate now!

  1. My interesting adventure yesterday. Not often I get to visit a hangar with 2 beautiful Cessna jets being serviced. Sometimes going the wrong way can be a lot of fun.
  2. Really productive meeting with Marci Whitman. My website is looking fantastic and I’m really excited about the new virtual home for my business.
  3. Challenging talk I had with George. Not the most comfortable but definitely one that moved me along into my taking ownership of my choices and businss.
  4. Transcribed one-half of a call I did with Kristin a couple weeks ago. Not only was it helpful to understand my issues but it gave me a lot of insight into how to make my customer’s issues more tangible.
  5. Good talk with a client around moving into the new year.
  6. An insight I had this morning that I need to reschedule a meeting because I need to create a new agreement with a client for 2013.
  7. Realizing a project that initially didn’t look very interesting is actually an amazing opportunity to understand what is going to be required of me as I move more into project-based work.

12/31/12 Mixing Things Up Today!

Last day of 2012 and I’m living dangerously by mixing up gratitude and celebration! Uh oh, what could happen?

Maybe something wonderful!?

Let’s find out.

What I’m Grateful for Today

Inky, gatekeeper and enemy of bad vibes.

Inky, gatekeeper and enemy of bad vibes.

  1. My amazing cat Inky who is currently lying in my lap purring away. I like to say that Inky has special powers and keeps negativity and  bad spirits out of the Murdoch home and out of my business. Plus he’s so handsome! He does tend to have bad breath but the occasional teeth cleaning seems a small price to pay for living with a demi-god. OK and as much face rubbing as we’re willing to give.
  2. Wonderful visit yesterday with my friend and colleague, Heather. Heather is not only a shaman and a powerful spirit but she came up with two really cool ideas for my business! Wow! How does it get any better than this?
  3. The movie Heather shot of my Mojo Money Box Playshop is still on her camera and it looks good! Can’t wait to get it on my computer and watch the whole thing.
  4. 2012 was a difficult and wonderful year. It really feels in many ways like the year of my renaissance. So perhaps a difficult initial 5 months was more than worth the fantastic seven months that followed.
  5. My business coach, George Ira Carroll who set that wonderful seven months into motion.
  6. My husband Michael whose presence makes my house a home and is my wise man.
  7. My son Matt who keeps me on my toes and doesn’t let me get complacent.
  8. Living in Denver where I can see the magnificent Rocky Mountains when I look to the west.
  9. I’m going to be talking later to Cory Michelle which is always a treat!
  10. A meeting I’ll be having later with one of my clients who is always an inspiration to my heart.

Things to Celebrate Today:

  1. Completed my rewrite of the Black Sheep Fable! This is a big deal because it took a lot of time to create the images but I’m so pleased with the way it turned out. This is going to be the experience for my home page.
  2. Doing this also means most of the copy for my home page is now written!
  3. Matt created one of the images and did a great job. It feels really satisfying to collaborate with my son.
  4. Waking up early and having the energy to get up and get going.
  5. My skinny jeans fit and feel comfortable!
  6. It’s not super cold out today.
  7. I’m looking forward to my meeting with Kristen Luce today.
  8. That I’m not jumping in with both feet into the business model of coaching. Maybe there is a different way to make money rather than coaching tons of people.
  9. I’m looking for projects that feel light and move quickly.
  10. I’m living in the question.

Lots of good stuff to celebrate today!

  1. Inky is sitting in my lap purring. On a cold day it’s nice to have a warm cat in my lap.
  2. Just about complete with my “Secret Rebel” tale and it’s just about ready to go up on my blog! This is a big first step for launching the new website and I’m really excited!
  3. I really love the images I created for the “secret rebel” tale. Some look fantastic.
  4. Had a wonderfully insightful, productive session with Kristin Luce yesterday. Uncovered some areas of resistance that have been holding me back.
  5. Have some specific assignments I’m doing to loosen up those obstacles.
  6. One of my biggest obstacles is how harshly I judge myself
  7. Realized that one of the reasons I dread getting up in the morning is I have such strict boundries for what I judge as “acceptable” the entire day is one long tightwire act.
  8. I’m willing to act less acceptably.
  9. Had a good check in session with one of my clients
  10. Decided I’m increasing my fees and I don’t feel any anxiety about this. I may lose a client or two but I’m at peace with this consequence.
