When you change your mind, you change your energy and when you change your energy, you change your life. As we enter the holiday season and I see all kinds of news stories about the stresses of the holidays, it reminds me that much of the energy drain and stress is something we create for ourselves. When we change our mind about something and made a decision to think or not thing about it in a certain way, our entire energy about that thing changes. We can also change the energy of the people around us. After all, we are part of other people’s environments.
Make some decisions about salvaging your energy this holiday season and set guidelines for yourself that make sense to you and your family. It’s too late to make a decision not to cook a huge Thanksgiving meal, but not too late to make a decision about how to handle holiday parties, family, gift giving or experience giving, new traditions you can start, old traditions you can change or ditch all together and how you can improve your situation, your sanity and your energy in the coming year.
Try making a written 120-day plan and then keep it handy to keep you focused on what you want to be doing with you life, then celebrate when you see all the checkmarks after 4 months. It will certainly change your mind about what you decide to do with your time. If something isn’t serving you well, make a decision to change it for the better and keep moving forward.
Cheers!

Now that you’ve got a fully belly of whatever your feast of choice was over the holiday, your thoughts may turn to all the upcoming hoopla that ensues each year. As my computer monitor gave me the black screen of death just days before Thanksgiving, I turned to my local technology retailer for advice on my purchase after sifting through several websites to find deals. Mind you this was the day before Turkey Day and two days before Black Friday when I was wanting to purchase computerware. I wasn’t about to sleep overnight in the parking lot or come to fisticuffs to save a few bucks on what I needed immediately. Besides, the Geek Squad would come knocking on my door and wouldn’t have a prayer of fixing things without a monitor.
So I share with you some websites that may make your holiday shopping easier if you’re like me and swear off shopping malls between Thanksgiving and Martin Luther King Day in order to save your sanity. These sites will not only save your sanity, but a few dollars to boot.
More sites are listed on my November Live Wire e-zine. The archives should be up on my website: http://www.funcilitators.com/resources.htm
Here are some helpful sites:
Here’s to saving your sanity and your savings accounts!

Energize Your Holiday Card Sending System
Filed Under Wealth, Well-Being | 1 Comment
I wanted to share this amazing new system with you for sending out your holiday cards, keeping in contact with clients or just remembering friends and family. Check out http://www.BizBuilderCards.com to take a look at the thousands of cards you can send using your computer. Somebody else in Utah prints your card, yep, it’s a full-fledged card-stock card you can hold in your hand, stuffs the envelope, seals it, stamps it and drives it to the mailbox to send to your client or loved one.
There’s no other system out there like it. You can create your own customized card, even put your own photo on the front, write your own message inside and include more photos or even a check or a gift card inside the card and the best part is that you can have your own handwriting font installed and your own signature so the cards are all very personalized. What’s even better is that you can customize the card and have it merged with your database so that every person gets their own card and it takes you only a couple minutes to send thousands of cards. Forget post office lines, office store runs to buy labels and hours of licking stamps, printing labels and signing cards. You can have your cards done in less than 5 minutes. What’s even better is that you can make money by sharing this awesome system with others.
As your holiday gift, I will offer our readers their own gift account to test-drive the system and send out some cards on my dime. I will pay for the cards and the postage so you can see how fun it is to energize somebody’s day. The Send Out Cards system even imports your database and sends you an email reminding you of that special date.
Give me a call at 480-802-0103 or send me an email at Gail@BizBuilderCards.com to set up your account. I will need your name and address and phone number to set up your account so you can start sending out cards. It will take about 15 minutes to set up your account.

Organize and Energize Your Holidays
Filed Under Well-Being | Leave a Comment
It’s been a whirlwind of activity over the past couple weeks. We’ve already sold out of the book Dancing Through Life with Guts, Grace & Gusto. I guess there are a lot of women wanting to know the dance steps to success. I’ve even signed myself and my mom up for dancing lessons this month, in preparation to our trip to Vegas for her 80th birthday. Inspired by the show Dancing With the Stars, we will be dancing under the stars in a few weeks with our new fancy footwork. Talk about energizing!
With the holidays fast approaching - where has the time gone? - I thought this great new kit would be helpful for you to organize and energize your holidays and every day. We fee less frazzled when we feel more in control of our space, our stuff, our time and our life, so check out this new system. Julie’s book Organizing from the Inside Out is also a great read.
