Get the Fat Out Of Your Head

Don't you love that title!? I have been collaborating with the juicy woman herself, Andrea Amador. She's a wonderful personal coach and teacher who specializes in "inspiring women to live craving free." I've found her to be authentic and incredibly inspiring. I just finished doing an interview with her and it will be posted at my website within the next few days if you missed the teleclass in person.

Andrea has a powerful new program called the Cravings Zapping Program. It touts Breakthrough Methods to Help You Zap Your Cravings And Celebrate The Strong, Vivacious, Juicy Woman You Truly Are! You can register now for the July 12 Program. As Andrea says, "Now you can win the battle against the cravings that drive you nuts and gain control of your life. Never feel enslaved by a friggin' piece of candy ever again!"

Be sure to check out her new program but also to sign up for her free e-course "Get the Fat Out of Your Head" at http://www.thejuicywoman.com.

Let me know what you think about the program and her free e-course.

Boomer Humor

Looking for a greeting card line that:
• Helps baby boomers laugh at life’s experiences?
• Shows baby boomer women enjoying and celebrating their journey through life?
• Portrays baby boomer women as they want to be seen – vital and energetic?

I'm always looking for new and creative ways to communicate with my friends, clients and family. I just discovered these cool greeting cards. They are a kind of boomer humor cards for women boomers. I like them because they are so positive and not insulting like so many cards I see. Check themout for yourself.

Lives Unlived: Are You Grieving?

One of the ponderings in mid-life is realizing that we cannot and will not do everything we thought we might. At this point of life, we've made our choices. It's not that I can't have what I want...of course, I can. But I probably cannot have everything I want, given where I am today. I have many interests and several passions. But everything I think I might like to do can't be incorporated into this lifetime. It's just too short. One day I might think, I'd like to adopt children. Give them a loving life and make a difference. The next day I might think I want to be a yogi, meditate full-time and serve others. On another day, I think I'd love to have a 7-figure business and travel all over the world. Another day I think I'd like to sing for a living, a dream I didn't pursue from my youth. Each of the things above I could be passionate about and most likely successful at. But I probably can't do all of them, especially given the choices I've made up to now. Certain things just aren't going to be part of my life.

And from this thought is a certain amount of sadness. It is partly because one must make choices on what life to live. Part of it is the recognition that life is passing and we will not always be here. We do have limited time here in this lifetime. So while I accept that I have made choices and will continue to have to make choices about how my life will be lived, I grieve for my lives that will remain unlived...at least in this lifetime.

Explore this idea for yourself. Do you have things you still want to do in your lifetime? Is it time to put some dreams from the past to bed? Is it time to choose which life you will lead? How do you feel about this idea of grieving for a life unlived?

Easy Time and Date Converter

I found this great little tool online and wanted to share it with you. How many times have you had someone traveling overseas and wanted to know what time it is there? Or wanted to attend an international online event but are not sure what time it will be? Here's a handy little tool to help you convert the time. It even has a "personal" time and date converter. You can set up your own page with a selection of cities so that it shows the time in each. For example, my husband is currently in Switzerland, I want to view an online video streaming in Spain this week and I live in Houston, Texas. I simply put all three cities on my personal page and voila, the dates and times are there and I don't have to keep entering them every time I want to make a call.
