February 2009
Dear ,
It's the season of pink hearts, red roses and boxes of chocolate. Whether you get swept up in romantic notions or you want to clip cupid's wings, Valentine's Day is a great reminder that, at the heart of it all, love in its many forms is a powerful force. During a workshop, a participant had shared that there are only two emotions: love and fear. "Which do you choose?" she asked us wisely.
What do you love?
A personal inventory of what brings you joy
 I once had a client who was feeling rather frustrated and stuck. Nothing seemed to be working for her, she was focusing on what she didn't have and she just felt blah. So, I challenged her to list 100 things that she loved.
"What?!" she balked, "How can I come up with sooo many things?" Well, by the time we talked the following week, she had come up with her list and then some. "It was easier to do than I thought it would be," she said. "And then I just got on a roll!" By acknowledging what she loved, she was able to invite more love back into her life and things really started shifting from there.
Gather your own inventory of 100 things that you love or make you happy. Imagine that you're shopping through the catalog of life. What do you love about you? Note attributes you like in the people you interact with throughout your day, what you like about your current job or where you live. Jot down what brings a smile to your face. What are your favorite things to do? What are the simple pleasures in life that bring you joy? These are all clues to what’s important to you and what you’re passionate about. Ask yourself, what are more ways that I can invite love in to my life? And notice what shifts in your life.

Right-Brain Business Plan Inspiration
An out-of-the box idea for planning your 2009 business goals
 Lauren Brownstein, a fundraising and philanthropy consultant from PITCH Consulting
, dished up her 2009 business goals in a super creative way! Her Right-Brain Business Plan is a mobile made out of paper plates and string. How's that for resourcefulness?! She collaged sections such as, "What do my clients experience?" and "Who are my business partners?" Then she wrote the details of her plan on the back of her collages, hole punched the plates, tied it all together and hung her masterpiece proudly on display. With a mobile Right-Brain Business Plan, your goals will soar to new heights!
I'm thrilled to see the unique ways people have created their plans after reading my Right-Brain Business Plan e-book. If you'd like to have your Right-Brain Business Plan featured in my newsletter, blog and Facebook fan page please send me a photo with your contact info.
