Morning, Carrie. It's a tool I purchased this summer that's designed to help entrepreneurs market their business. It offers a non-traditional approach based on the Law of Attraction principles. The author is Laura Howard West. The program provides numerous supports to keep you motivated such as conference calls, incredible graphic organizers that really keep you focussed, information for starting business success circles, a lovely scented 'joy candle', and much more. Since beginning my business there are 3 tools that have been the most valuable to me: Law of Attraction principles, The Joyful Business Guide, and Style Statement book. The Joyful Guide is a perfect match for my 'Comfort-Creative' soul. Check out the following links: www.CenterforJoyfulBusiness.com, www.JoyfulBusinessGuide.com, or www.CafeEntrepreneur.com. Enjoy!

Thanks Carrie. I've started reading your book and I am enjoying answering the questions. You suggest that I ask, 'what brings me joy' and 'how do I want to feel?' I am finding myself unable to answer at the moment. I'm so tired I'm dizzy and need to get myself to bed. I can give this more meaningful thought before replying ... Linda

I actually have not heard of her, but I will look her up. I am a celiac so my diet can be kind of lame, and I have found that by focusing on the experience of food, my diet seems more interesting. (I still occasionally pout about not being able to eat pizza, licorice, and birthday cake).

Food as a ritual is lovely. Have you heard of Alice Waters? Her cook books are rich with the experience of food.

Hello Linda. Danielle and I often ask ourselves "What brings you joy?, How do you want to feel?" Perhaps these can be a be starting point for moving your body. From my experience it takes about six weeks to feel a shift in your body, patience and perseverance needed!

1. To finish the current draft of my very first play this week.
2. To stay grounded and not let my mind drift off to a very handsome young man in my life.
3. To go through all my magazines, ideas, cuttings etc and get my thoughts organized and in some semblance of order.

Good gracious. Let's see:

1. Move toward completion on my new website, which means MAKING A DECISION AND LIVING WITH IT.
2. Write up consultation notes for two of the most beautiful and haunting manuscrips I've ever been privileged to help bring into the world
3. Buy the medium format camera I've always wanted--to remember these precious years in Hawaii. Today as my son talked to his favorite plumeria tree in the middle of a rainstorm, I realized digital just won't do it.

Bonjour Jennifer!,

I forgot to answer that I live on the 9th floor of a ten-story building where there are four units to a floor. Mine has an Eastern view: the ocean, the sunrise... and a Western view the Bay amd the sunset, which is breathtaking,phenomenal...short of unbelievable.

I fell into thos apartment by the gRrace of God., An elderly gentleman was ina hurry to sell to join his grown children in California and practically gave it away. My taxes are very, very, reasonable. The drawback? The electric bill, because it gets so very hot even with the windows open it's very hot. But in the "Winter" when it cools off it is delicious... Must cross the pond and come visit... :-)

Hi Jennifer!...

Well I went through the book, reading all the differebnt definitions and writing all that I considered to mean the same. synonyms. Same way with "What doesn't work." Looked carefully at what objects would appeal to me and compared them to my place's contents... The hand... My art...My accessories... I started doing introspection. I KNEW that I felt intense calm when I withdrew into a world of Soundscapes, or New Age or Classical music... soft, not strident.. My soul reaches incredible heights when I hear certain pieces by Bethoven... Love long flowing robes, and am very, very fond of sculpture that has a soulful meaning, and contemporary black on white ink sketches... My most loved on has a splash of terracotta on the face of the figure that matches the walls... I also like to have lerge corals in the bathroom window sills because I can see the water from the windows... and in the evening you see the silhouete of the coral against the night sky... Yes I am still reading the book and fine tuning my statement. And I must admit that I am walking differently... is that possible?

Thank you from my heart for your beautiful reply. And may life's richest abundances be yours as well...

I am so curious about the process you used. I would imagine the 80% sophisticated was in your dress style and it cetainly sounds like the delicious way you decorate your apartment (is that the right word). How many floors up are you? But I would imagine you are looking with wide eyes at everything in your life in the light of sacred 20%. Of course you would have orchids. Tell me about the music you love. I love to hear you have big shells. Take the time to REALLY appreciate yourself in the light of this beautiful revelation. Breathe it all in, Take all your senses on a journey and hold the new insights about yourself. find a space to create an altar to your style statement and change what you put there regularly. Just 3 to 5 things that connect to your sense of the sacred.
Take yourself (on a pilgrimage perhaps!) through all the components of your life see Page 89 of Carries and Danielles book. I beleive this can take months and is never in one sense complete.
May a new companion come into your life and be a blessing to you. Lifes richest abundance be yours.

Oh my dear. I didn't realize how much female-body-part issues were preying on my mind until after I had my full hysterectomy. It felt as though the biggest weight was lifted off my shoulders and was remarkably freeing . . . I wish the same for you.

BONJOUR! and Merci!!! It's like making a huge discovery about yourself, and it's so exciting, and just plain wondferful... I now understand my passion for the water and the need for order in my surroundings... If I were to find a new companion, I know now what I must find!!!!! I am dancing for joy!

BONJOUR Jennifer!!!

Oui, correct spelling of the bay. I am walking tall and smiling to myself... quietly... I woke this morning fifteen minutes earlier to meditate... steaming cup of coffee in hand... and a subtle smile... The blue I have in mind is actually a grey that looks like blue when on the wall. I have a trick: I use a shade darker than the other three walls on the wall you see as you enter a room. It makes it look deeper, and larger... All my linens are cream, so my bedrooms are soothing... Oh, I also have white orchids abd seashells (lerge ones) as accessories.. Peaceful, don't you think? ;-)
It is ALWAYS so very nice to hear from you!!!
