Dear ^fname^,

This year seems to be flying by. It's already the end of summer. This has been an incredible year. My term as President of the Las Vegas Chapter of the National Speakers Association has just ended. It was a fabulous year. We had incredible speakers, tripled our membership, attended a few shows on the strip in which our members are stars, and even went backstage at the Lion King to view the costumes up close. Our last speaker of the year was Brian Tracy. How cool is that to get Brian Tracy for a city chapter? We had a fabulous installation of new officers at a dinner at the Las Vegas Country Club and now a new year begins.

My doctor says I continue to be cancer free and that alone is a major achievement for the year. Thanks to all of you for the support you gave me through this adventure. I am in the process of writing a book about it. Of course. Don't I write a book about everything? Or at least, a story? The book is entitled, "Overcoming Cancer. A Journey of Faith," and we are expecting it to hit the book stores before Christmas.

The Life Choices: Pursuing Your Passion book is doing very well for our authors. We are in a fourth printing now. And we are taking submissions for two new Life Choices books, "Life Choices: It's Never Too Late" and "Life Choices for Teenagers." If you have a story which you would like to have considered for one or both of these books, please call our office (702) 896-2228 or email me at judi@judimoreo.com and we will send you the submission guidelines.

Our Life Choices event has been rescheduled for the weekend of March 23, 24, and 25th in Las Vegas. It will feature some of our outstanding Life Choices authors as the speakers and will be a life changing event. Put it on your calendar now to join us and watch for announcements soon.

My relatively new hobby of painting is becoming more than a hobby now (click here to view four paintings in sidebar). We've made greeting cards from several of my paintings. It's so exciting. I've actually had a couple of art shows and sold a few paintings. I'm including some of my paintings here so you can see how well I'm doing. (I know. I'm showing off, but it's so fun to discover a talent one doesn't know one has!)

Keep in touch and remember, you are more than enough!

School Is Never Out

By Judi Moreo

It happens every summer. While idle minds are still daydreaming of ways to beat the summer heat, the ads start to appear on television, in our mailboxes, on the internet and in every store. From paper and pencils to lamps and rugs for dorm rooms, it seems everyone has something we need for "back-to-school."

We think of school as a time of learning and, all too often, think that when we graduate from high school, college or grad school we know everything we need to know to be successful. The reality is that school is never out. Learning is a lifelong process.

Those who are committed to learning throughout their lives are more creative, take more initiative, and are more responsive to their circumstances and situations. Constant learning helps to better manage uncertainties, negotiate conflicts and communicate with people from diverse cultural, socio-economic and educational backgrounds. Lifelong learning has become more important in the information age. People who stop their education when they leave school will soon be left behind.

If you are not already committed to learning, there are some things you can do to help get yourself in the habit.

Start each day with something new. Make time in your morning routine to read. Set aside a half hour at the beginning of your day when your mind is fresh to read a book or informational article. Newspapers and magazines don't count unless the article is specifically related to a topic in your field of work or special interest. Get up a few minutes earlier and allow yourself to learn something new.

Always have a book with you. It's easier these days to carry your library with you. With e-books on your i-phone, i-pad or kindle, you can access your reading material anywhere, anytime. Make use of the time you spend waiting at the doctor's office, in long lines or waiting for someone at the airport. The more you read, the more you learn and the more you will want to read.

Teach someone else. Pass on what you have learned. Sharing your new found knowledge will help to make it something that will stick with you. We often learn best by teaching someone else.

Join a special interest group. Join a book club, enroll in an art class, take yoga classes. Expand your knowledge and skill in your current interests and passions or discover something new. When you join a group, you learn not only from the instructor, but from other members of the group as well.

Associate with people who are interested in learning. Spend time with other people who invest time in learning new skills. Their habits will rub off on you. The added bonus is the sharing of knowledge that occurs.

School is never out. Get out your pencils and books. The pursuit of knowledge for either personal or professional reasons leads to a more active, successful life.

Mentoring Program

Judi currently has three openings for her professional mentoring program. If you would like more information on how Judi can assist you in becoming a better presenter, professional speaker, writer, or get your book in the marketplace, please call Judi at (702) 896-2228. Judi only works with 10 people each year in order to give you the personal attention you want and need.

Mind Workout: Success Practice

A simple plan to get things done.

How It Works

Every day, do something in every category listed below:

  1. Do something for someone else. There are always people around you who could use a bit of help with something. You'll feel good about yourself when you help them.

  2. Do something for yourself. Do something special for yourself. Give yourself a gift. Tell yourself how much you appreciate who you are and who you have become. Take yourself out for lunch somewhere really nice.

  3. Do something you've been putting off or avoiding. We all have things that we should do or could do that we don't like doing and put off until another time. If it should be done, do it and get it over with so you don't have to think about it anymore. Pick the one you really don't like doing and do it first.
