happy 4th of July

Hey everyone - Sorry not to have been on the call this morning. I was enjoying blueberry pancakes with my youngest son, David - 24. After that, headed to the beach to meet my daughter-in-law, Kerri, her sister-in-law, Shanna and her daughter Lana, and of course, my granddaughters, Taylor - 5 and Kendall - 22 mos. We had a great time, they found a perfect spot on the beach. We had to eat sandwiches and cookies under the umbrella so the sea gulls didn't attack and steal our food! The water was perfect!!!! Then home to eat an afternoon snack prior a wonderful afternoon nap. I'll head back to the beach to watch the fireworks!

Hope you all enjoyed a beautiful holiday!

I'm still in the declutter mode and will spend tomorrow working on taxes! This week I'll continue working on my book and I'm rewriting a workbook I created several years ago so that I can sell it on my website as well as at any speaking engagement.

I do have sign-ups for the Using Your Time Effectively and will begin that webinar on Tuesday.

Have a fabulous week!

Love, light and joy,

Margaret

Moving Forward

Okay..so i went and I hunted. Carrying around my very heavy portfolio and camera. Thinking that no matter what i would get a photo opportunity. I am not giving up but i wanted you to know that i tried.. and that i not giving up.. but i exhausted myself in my attempts for this week.

Amazingly enough i parked in front of another gallery and will be possibly working with them at a later date... i need to put an invitation together for the artwalk ...
anyway.. i did it.. and achieved my goal of "Moving Forward"

Welcome Lauren!

Hi Lauren, this is totally cool that you are here!

And thanks Curry for posting our goals for this week. I have just updated my website, made my 5 calls for Monday and am getting ready to write on my blog (must put that on my calendar to do weekly or more). Oh yes, so far have spent 30 minutes on my book today.

Thank you all for your encouragement!

Hot wax

OK, hey there, I did it, i am on the blog!!! Now, if I can think of something to write...ok, i have been thinking about bees as i have been doing some work with wax in my art 

lately and I read that a bee must fly 150,000 thousand miles and eat 6 pounds of honey in order to create one pound of bees wax.  thats 50 thousand times back and forth across the US....in that light, I guess if I get invited to one of Curry's dinner parties, I could come!!! Ciao for now, Lauren.

Thought I'd post what we committed to for this week

5/30/08
Margaret - 5 hrs. week on book/5 calls 3 days a week
Lauren - get on blog
Curry - pitch Dickensen agency (if they are there)
Tomas - email what I want from the Mastermind

Returning

Hi everyone, I have returned from vacation in Italy and will say that it was wonderful. The people that were "divinely assembled" in the Villa, the food and wine, the countryside, the villages, the weather, plus those people that I interacted with during my travels were "perfect"! Visiting another country is always a great reminder that we here in the states don't have all the answers as so many of our politicians would like to have us think. The Italian drivers are wild according to our standards, but their system works well for them and in my opinion, we over here should loosen up a bit, we're way too anal and controlling and missing out on the important things in life! I look forward to "seeing" everyone on Friday for the call! In the meantime, I will be calling soon to catch up with each of you.

Margaret

my latest CD - The Magic of Gayatri

I would like to share some information about the release of my latest CD -
The Magic of Gayatri.

It is an unusual CD, inasmuch as I have stepped out of my regular comfort
zone and have joined forces on this one with another recording artist,
Chandra-Shekar.

The CD is a musical and descriptive journey with an ancient prayer, The
Gayatri Mantra.

Chandra-Shekar, who also lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, has returned
to his Indian roots to understand and reimagine the ancient Gayatri Mantra
which had been given to him by his father when he was ten.

It is a wonderful tool for meditation, yoga and healing. It seems to have
both a soothing and heart opening quality.

Even though the CD stands on its own, it has a worthy cause attached to it.
A third of the net proceeds from the CD will go to The Rakum School for the
Blind in Bangalore, India. The sale of just one CD means that 6 to 8 meals
can be provided for the blind orphans that live and learn there.

May I invite all of you to visit my website at www.magicofgayatri.com and to

consider acquiring a CD? I would also appreciate any and all feedback!

I have a special request.

As a third of the net proceeds from the CD will go to this orphanage in India,

I would like your help in viral marketing!

If you buy the CD and if you like it, I would like you to tell at least ten of your

friends about it.

It is a wonderful vehicle for meditation, for yoga and for healing.

I encourage you to read the unedited and heartfelt testimonials on the website.

I think you will be moved.

Blessings,

Tomas Michaud

New Songs by Tomas Michaud

Here's a link to the affirmation that we talked about. It also contains my newest composition titled 4 of 6 for now.

Get Ready to Be Awakened: A New Earth

Oprah brings 11 million people together on a WEB CAST to discuss "A New Earth" a book by Eckhart Tolle. The Header is also a link and I will add this link to our Links group on the right side of this page.

Each week they discuss a different chapter... They have all discussions available after the fact as downloads, so you can get caught up if you find it appealing. It has been said that the first one is like going through paperwork and then the others ones unleash the flood of information.

This was brought up today on the call.

YES WE CAN SONG:




WE ARE THE ONES: (especially love this one) i am thinking possibly asking Tomas for help and i am also thinking of somehow video taping everyone at some point in our group, talking about their beliefs in ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE _ YES I CAN!

Rough starting purpose statement

Our Mastermind is a scared space for sharing and bringing forth our
highest gifts.

This means:
> Sharing what we are doing to bring those gifts forward in the world.
> Setting goals weekly and long term to to make our greatest gifts a
    reality.
> Holding each other accountable to stated goals.
> And helping each other when life has us stuck in patterns either
    conscious or unconscious.
> Help with networking or help get the word out when something big is
    happening in our lives.
> Honoring our schedules by being a ruthless timekeeper. Prompt starting
    and ending times.
