Your
Roadmap
for Success without Stress
Last night I
just sat down and gave in. Dinner was in the
oven - a very good smelling pork roast with
garlic and the table was set. "Mr.
GoodLooking" would be here in 15 minutes for
dinner. I looked good and well put together.
My house was picked up and all of my
wrapping paper and unwrapped Christmas
presents were stowed safely in the den with
the door shut. Even Chatty, my kitty cat,
was poised and on the arm of the couch ready
to be scratched and loved when my dinner
guest arrived.
I could have tried to do 2-3 more things
from my "to do list" to make "good use of my
time" before he arrived for dinner, but I
didn't. Instead I just sat down in front of
the fire and gave into relaxing. There were
several minutes to just breath and look
around at the decorations, smell the cooking
dinner and be pleased to be ready on time.
My cell phone rang and it was him saying he
would be late because of traffic.
You know what I did not do? I did not get up
from my very relaxed place on my couch to go
do anything to "use my time well" before he
arrived.
While relaxing I noticed how pretty all the
decorations looked. My kitty, Chatty, even
joined me for a snuggle.
I actually relaxed for better than 15
minutes in front of my fire without my brain
being jammed with all that was left to do
and get ready for my holidays with my family
in Nashville and New York.
Many deep breaths later and feeling
delighted with how everything looked and
smelled, my dinner guest arrived and we had
a fun and relaxed evening together. And
Chatty got all of her itchy places
scratched...twice.
It is possible to create these kinds of
moments for yourself even during the
holidays. I have been completely intentional
about wanting to stay relaxed and not let
the holiday rush overwhelm me. One of the
biggest supports I have had is my Perfect
Abundance Meditation MP3 (you can download
it and make your own CD if you like) which I
wrote and recorded to bring me back to
center when my life was falling apart.
It has taken a lot of prodding and
convincing by my daughters and clients to
share my "ah" meditation practice with you,
and I am happy to say I am ready.
Taking up the practice of meditating and
then creating my own recording with my
extraordinarily talented vocalist daughter
changed my life. I went from an unhealthy
lifestyle, failing business and feeling
completely lost in life to a life filled
with extraordinary success, wealth and love.
You can read my complete story here:

So if you or anyone you know needs to be
reminded to take care of themselves, their
life, their business - beginning right here
and right now - I lovingly recommend my
Perfect Abundance Meditation
http://www.The-Roadmap.com/index2.html.
Even though we are recommending it for the
holidays, it will long endure as one of the
best meditation practices for all the times
(and sometimes trials) of your life.
Happy Holidays. And more than that, happy
life, successful life, lovely life,
productive life, joyous life, to you and
yours.
