 Join me at my blog on February 24, when Jill Badonsky, author of The Awe-Manac stops by on her book blog tour.  Know that I will have some unique questions for her in this interview AND that one person commenting that day will get a free copy of

Just plain fun for the creative soul.


Aha-phrodisiacs and all!

Is it simply time to take action


in your best way?  


That’s why I’ve developed the


Self Coaching Adventure


work(play!) books


- you get to find your best way and take action!


 


And that’s why I coach.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


 


 


 


 


There’s a few other favourite books on my site bookstore.


It’s like a little tiny library!

Phew, it’s well into February, and by now,


you may have gotten through some of the


initial ‘weigh heavy on your mind’ guilt of


not keeping your resolutions.


 


And here I am bringing it up again. Sheesh. Of course, you might be keeping those resolutions – if that’s the case, celebrate you!


 


But for those who may not have kept your resolutions, I’d like to suggest there are very good reasons why - that there’s a part of you saying, “wait, this isn’t fun at all, I don’t want to do this.”  Good for you.  I have a gift for you. (For those who are keeping your resolutions: you’re welcome to the gift too!)


For just a little while, you can go download the e-work(play!)book


 


Happy Revelly After” for Free!


 


This is the workbook that slams resolutions and playfully helps you discover a new perspective on getting where you really want to be.


 


Why Free?  I am passionate about helping people get rid of limiting beliefs and realize their dreams... the workbook is getting great reviews, and I simply want to share it with more people.


 


It’s a ripple effect... the more people living their life purposefully, passionately, and soulfully... the more those around them benefit...and on it goes. The world becomes a better place.


 


Go here to download.  (When you get there, please don’t check the little box to receive the newsletter, because, well. you are already getting the newsletter!)


 


 


 


Random Conversations


between the Left Brain and the Right Brain.


 


Left Brain: “That’s all well and good to dream but the reality is....”


Right Brain: “Reality? Don’t we create our own reality?”


~~~~~~~


Left Brain: “I know someone who tried that and failed.”


Right Brain: “ If I connect this to that, and adjusted this, and added a bit of colour here, and oh wait, I have another idea..”  and then adds, “hey, don’t we know someone who tried to make a light bulb hundreds of times?”  


~~~~


Left Brain: “It has to be done by Friday”


Right Brain: “What’s a Friday?”


~~~~~


Left Brain: “It’s a little late to start a new career, don’t you think?”


Right Brain: “oh goody goody goody, something new to connect more of the little synapses.”


~~~~~~~


Left Brain: “You have to have money to make money.”


Right Brain: “Oh, shut up. How can I create what we need when you are always nagging at me?”


~~~~~~


Left Brain: “The books say I should do it this way.”


Right Brain: “Shhh.. I think I’m getting a message from the universe.”


 ~~~~~~~~


Left Brain: “Who am I to think I can?”


Right Brain: “How are you even attached to me?  I can do anything!”


~~~~~~~~


Left Brain: “I’ve got to get this report done.”


Right Brain: “I’ve GOT TO PLAY!”


~~~~~~~~~


Left Brain: “I’m stumped. I’m going to have to think more creatively to get past this issue.”


Right Brain: “Whoooaaaa, did you just ask me for help?”


~~~~~~~~~


Left Brain: “Okay, we can do this if we come up with a plan that makes some sort of sense to me.”


Right Brain: “I don’t know what a plan is. I’m busy connecting the seemingly disconnected.”


~~~~~~~~~~


 


Imagine the possibilities when both sides of the brain work together!


 


Do you have a creative idea that you’d like to move forward on?


 


Ask your left brain (politely) how it can help that idea come to fruition.


 


 


(Or Contact me. I can mediate.)

About Playing...


My passion since the beginning of time has been 'let the children play' and 'bringing play back into our adult lives'.  I didn't know years ago that this passion would direct me to careers that incorporate this passion; that it would lead me to learning so much about mind/heart, left brain/right brain, soul/ego;  and in this process I would come to understand more fully the value that play has beyond just a leisure activity.  Accessing our creative playful side leads us to answers about our gifts, our true purpose, our best ways to move forward.  Recently, I got to honour play with my granddaughter.  And my granddaughter?  Well, so far she only knows that play is her job.  I hope to help her stay that way.  (smile)


 


The Blur in the photo?     Yup, flying cookie dough.

Left Brain:  “You can’t have your cake and eat it too”


Right Brain:  “okay, now that’s just dumb.”
