Does doing something for 7 days become a habit?

Challenge for the next 7 days--


  • Body
    • Drink 8 glasses of water--two before each meal
  • Finances
    • Keep track of all money spent
  • House
    • Make my bed daily and do one load of wash daily
  • Spirit
    • 15 minutes a day spent on me and off Facebook.
What are yours.  Lets keep everyone accountable.

I will check in daily and post how I did.

Similarities and Differences


Look at these images...

Quickly, note---are they the same or different?

In what ways?

I will share my list and how it inspires me in my life coaching business.

The similarities:


  • Campbell's soup is a hearty, tasty, easy soup that provides vitamins and minerals and fills you up on a cold day.
  • Homemade soup is a hearty, tasty, easy soup that provides vitamins and minerals and fills you up on a cold day.  


Oh, they are the same, right?  If we just look at similarities, they are exactly the same.  But, when we look under the surface with all our senses we see what sets up apart.

The differences:

  • Homemade soup takes time, so it really isn't as easy as canned soup.
  • Canned soup is premade with additives and smaller vegs and meat.
  • No matter what, basically every can of Campbell's soup will taste the same.  It is consistent.
  • Every time you make homemade soup it can turn out very different, depending on what is available and, lets face it, our mood that day.
  • Homemade soup is richer and more flavorful.
  • Campbell's soup costs less to make.
  • You do the work for homemade soup;someone else does the work for canned.
Hmm, it is NOT the same.

How does this apply to YOU?

Are you taking the easy way out?
Are you settling for a less that spectacular existance?
Are you ok with being just like everyone else?
Are you settling for the same thing everyday, afraid to look outside the "can"?
Are you expecting richness or thinking that what you are used to is great?
Are you thinking that someone else doing the work is easier and you are ok with how it is been so...

Think about it.  

You need to do the work to get to the best life possible.

You deserve the richest, most flavorful, spectacular life and "soup" possible.

I can help you get there.

2011 Resolution

I was watching something earlier this evening that joked about falling in love and spending all their time at the gym trying to look good. I don't even remember what I was watching, but I remember those days. 

I remember those early days of love/lust when I worked out everyday, drank slim fast, ate salads, stood up straighter, took time to go to the tanning bed, fixed my hair and make up all to look my best. I wanted to look my best.

Unfortunately, I have not been with anything like that in a while. Some days I am willing to say that perhaps I am depressed. Some days I just feel I have given up on love and finding MY special person.

But, 2011 started a little bit ago and I just realized something very, very important. 

I need to have that love affair with ME! I need to fall in love with myself again. Take that time for ME. Look at myself with the pride that I have wanted others to look at me.

That is my 2011 resolution. I will love me. Take care of me. Take time for me.
