Dear
,
February started out on an exciting note. On Jan 31st, Charlotte and I flew to Yakima, WA to pick up the new RV. Now, you may think that was a bit unwise, considering the weather, driving conditions and the fact that I have never driven an RV. But the travel gods smiled upon us, opening roads (most of them) and bringing bright sunny days – well, there was a little snow along the way.
The closest I’ve been to snow in many years is 40 miles from Las Vegas. For three days, we could see nothing but snow in every direction. With the exception of the thin ribbon of highway we were on, everything was white. Even the buildings and trees took on the monochromatic hue. There were some memorable exceptions – the beautiful Blue Spruce dusted in snow, the horses and cattle sprinkling the landscape with varied shades of black and brown and the imaginary diamonds that danced across the vast white fields and mountains. I highly recommend a change of scenery and a grand adventure to renew your spirit and energy.
Now that the RV is safely in Las Vegas, it will be wrapped with the Book and Journal covers and will become the transportation for the book tour. We’ll be starting the tour at the Texas Library Conference in April. The rest of the tour isn’t set in stone yet, so we welcome your suggestions for book stores or other locations and events near you.

Do what you love, love what you do. If you can’t love what you are doing at least, do it with love.
It’s February. We’ve had a month to live up to our New Year’s resolutions. Many of them have already been forgotten or deliberately set aside. One of the biggest reasons we don’t stick to our resolutions is that they are not attached to a purpose. Even with purpose, we don’t always get where we set out to go. If, however, we can be passionate about it, love what we are doing and do it with love, we have a greater chance of success.
If we see what we are doing as difficult, a chore or unpleasant in any way, we will likely find ways to simply not do it. We have been programmed since childhood to believe that work was not fun. School was the work we did to prepare us to be successful working adults. Our success was based on how “hard” we worked. The things we “should” do or “need” to do, must be work and not “fun.” Our lives became more about growing up, getting a job, paying bills and being “successful” than about choosing to enjoy life.
We wouldn’t choose to live out our lives in a relationship devoid of love, so why do we set ourselves up to accomplish things that hold no passion, joy or excitement for us? We’re grown up now, and can make our own choices about what we do and how and why we do it. Old habits die hard. We need to deal with the many years of being programmed to work “hard.”, but we can choose to find something to love, even about the things we simply have to do.
Losing weight, as many of us have discovered at one time or another, is not really fun. If you remember you love the way you look in your favorite skinny jeans, it’s a lot easier to turn down a second helping of mashed potatoes. Having trouble getting organized? Focus on how good it feels when you know exactly where to find things instead of all the work of sorting things out.
To do something well, to achieve the goals we set for ourselves, we must find the things we love to do. We may be good at a lot of things because we work hard, but happiness and success are not in working “hard.” They come about when we find what we love to do and do it with love.

What Journalers Are Saying |
|
Journaling is a very personal undertaking. Writing your thoughts gives you an opportunity to see what
you are thinking. Having a written history of your thoughts and actions allows you to celebrate how far
you’ve come and plan your next steps.
This journal is a tool for your journey to achievement. It has been designed to assist you in achieving
your goals. It is a fast, easy, convenient way to record your wants, hopes, goals and dreams, to write
down your ideas, and to create the life that you’ve dreamed of.
This is a no-guilt journal. It doesn’t matter if its Monday or Wednesday, January or July, the first or the
twenty-first, today is a day to begin your journey.

If you have love in your life it can make up for a great many things you lack. If you don't have it, no matter what else there is, it's not enough.
Ann Landers
Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver.
Barbara De Angelis
Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.
Denis Waitley
Love doesn't make the world go 'round; love is what makes the ride worthwhile.
Franklin P. Jones
When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.
HH The Dalai Lama
Go to your favorite quiet place or anywhere you can feel comfortable and relaxed. Allow yourself to dream about possibilities. When you feel relaxed, write down all the things you would like to be, to do, and to have as well as all the places you would like to go.
If you have the time or the inclination, cut pictures and words out of magazines… ones that represent these things that you want and paste them on a piece of cardstock and put that collage somewhere that you will see it often. We call this an Image Board.
We encourage you to forward this message to friends
or colleagues who want to be the best they can be and
enjoy much success in their lives!
