Alas, I have to work that afternoon...will sign up for the next one. Diane

A lovely reminder, Suzette. This book has been in my life for many years, and those 4 "simple" agreements are constant reminders to stay present. Karen, I too have done the New Year's release and receive ceremony, and will be doing again with a small group of friends. Blessings, Diane

Beautifully expressed, Jack. It is heartening to know that there are business leaders out there already practicing these principles. I think of Tami Simon, the founder of Sounds True. Check out this piece on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YL3JuAC40YA Covers some of the ideas you have expressed so clearly. I look forward to meeting you at an event in the new year!

I am sorry to cancel on this event, but my parttime job has me working late and far south of Seattle today. Hope there will be another such event soon! diane

So sorry, must cancel this time as work calls. Holding for all of you the intention that Pamela expressed in the comment above. Blessings, Diane

Hi all, Regretfully, I have a work committment this Friday, so some lucky person can take my spot! Write on! See you at the next one. diane

sorry had to cancel...now a spot opened for Sanjay!

My gosh, what original and compelling websites, Suzette! As one who grew up with Paul Newman on the silver screen (I am 66) I too am saddened. What a terrific reminder to all of us to realize the most creative endeavors often begin very humbly (in Paul's case, fooling around in the basement) In his words : "I got into food for fun but the business got a mind of its own."

Aja, this piece is just beautiful and inspiring! I am about 40 years older than you and yet can remember my own rock bottom as if it were yesterday...it covered all the bases: financial, emotional, physical, psychological and spiritual. For you to pull through in one short year is an accomplishment that speaks to many wonderful qualities you possess. I will look for you at our Biznik events, would love to meet you. Diane

I am really looking forward to this! It is so easy to procrastinate when working from home. And I look forward to meeting y'all.

Diane

Many thanks, Ruthann! A great help!

Yes! And Biznik is wonderful for this purpose! Glad to have you two on board here. Happily, Biznik's hometown is Seattle, so I get to network face-to-face with some pretty amazing folks. Thanks to Dan and Lara for birthing this wonderful networking opportunity. We truly have a terrific venue here for spreading the word about our Celebrant work!

Thank you so much for writing this article! As someone who has yet to start blogging, this is a great resource to take some baby steps by commenting on other blogs. In gratitude, Diane

Yes, I would be interested... understand the value of blogging and keep thinking I must begin, but how? And I have been aware I need to know what is an RSS feed and how does it work for me? Count me in!
