Welcome,

Happy Holidays!

I appreciate your emails and phone calls - keep them coming! In 2005, we will have even more opportunities to get together.

I have scheduled a teleclass entitled Creating a Perfectly Unbalanced Life on Tuesday, January 11th. If the title catches your attention, please consider participating. See the feature article for more details.

Short issue follows - just a feature article and shorts.

Enjoy!

Feature Article:  Goals. Balance. Resolution(s).

Thinking about the upcoming year? If you haven't already, you will be inundated with well intentioned advice on how live a more "balanced" life, setting and achieving goals, and making resolutions for the new year.

I'll make this short. I don't have any pressing holiday parties today, but I do have a very satisfying life that begs my living.

In a moment of down time, or just because you want to, you might be interested in an alternative perspective on goals, balance, and resolutions. Here she goes:

Goals

I used to come up with a manageable list of say 10-20. I would use the prescribed formula that I learned as a swimmer at about age 14.

I don't do this anymore. Way to much stress. Instead, I have a book of personal and business goals. Seven or seventy aren't enough. I'm on my way to creating 5,000+.

This method has worked for me way better than any formula ever did. So, take a look at the article on 5,000 goals from a previous issue of Half Baked.

Try this method, then send me fan email here...

Balance

Yawn, yawn, and more yawns.

I don't believe in it, per se. Instead I seek to live a perfectly unbalanced life. For me, it is about being exceptionally happy. And who is to say that will look like balance to the rest of the world?

If you want more details on this, I invite you to join me in a teleclass entitled Creating a Perfectly Unbalanced Life at 1:11 pm on 1/11/05. Ok, so I am in a smarty pants mood, but I'm happy and self amusing.

Anyway, the fun time makes me really want to do this! (I just checked my calendar, and I'm free!)

Send me an email here, and I will provide you the details within the next week.

Resolution(s)

I've made these in the past. Not this year, or well maybe, I'm not sure. If I make a resolution on not making resolutions, that is a resolution, isn't it?

Seriously, my intention here is not to skirt the issue altogether. Instead, I've found myself thinking about "the mother of all resolutions" in my life. I'll ask you the question I've been asking myself:

If you could make only one resolution, what would it be?

I'm guessing with only one, it has to be "big enough" to encompass all the other things, experiences, etc that you want in your life.

As always, please feel free to send me an email or give me a call and share your resolution with me!
