WOW Look What I Found !!!

Hello Family,
Guess what I discovered ... Books on CD ! Yes, people I have entered the 21st century.
I have always loved to read. Reading transports me to another place and time. It's a source of meditation and relaxation for me. On average, I read about 50 to 75 pages a day, that is a 200 page book every 3 to 4 days which is about right. It increases with the right situation ... a rainy Sunday and Hubby has done all the cooking and cleaning. " Here comes that rainy day feeling again ...", oops, I am digressing - so sorry.
I was at my college campus library trying to familiarize myself to this library when I happened to stumble upon the Books On Cd's Section. I grabbed a few ( Freakonomics, Narnia, & My Life by President Bill Clinton) sat at one of the libraries computers, stuck in the Cd, put on the head phones and immersed myself in this wonderfully new experience. OOO LA LA I checked out "Freakonomics", by Steven B. Levitt and have been thoroughly enjoying it. There are 7 Cd's, each Cd is about an hour long which is great. I can do an hour driving and listening to a book.
This is the greatest inventions since the Walkman. Now if I could just hi-light all the really good parts ...
Until next time,
Be Brilliant,
Be Blessed.
Be Blissful

The Expansion Project

Hey Family,
I know it's been sooo long since I have communicated with you. So much has been going on, let's see:
I got my daughter settled into 5th grade, this is a critical grade, it begins the transition into high school.
I am tackling one of my major goals ~ MBA !!! Now if I can do it ... ANYONE CAN DO IT. I had to rearrange my life, but it's worth it! I am still surviving on 4-6 hours sleep weekdays. I try to make it up on the weekends, so far no luck in that department.
I volunteered my time campaigning ... volunteering is so gratifying. Just knowing that you are giving of yourself to improve someones life, or your community or world gives you a great sense of satisfaction and fulfillment.
I have been working on building my brand "Bliss Full Coaching & Communications", paying attention to the small details is very critical, as a matter of fact ... there is no such thing as a small detail.
I have formed and am now chairing a women's collective called "W.O.W. ~ Women of Worth". It's a fellowship of women who want to live inspired lives, women who want to live on purpose.
And finally, I have really been working on my marriage. Hubby and I are really enjoying each other on all levels ... It feels good to be in love & loved.
All of this has been a wonderful journey of self discovery and self improvement. Lessons are being taught daily in the school of life ... you must forget the world outside for a moment and go inward. Get in tuned with the Creator, embrace the essence of creativity and become the change you want to see in the world.
Until next time ...
Be benevolent
Be beautiful
Be Blissed~
