Dear Reader,
Earlier this week you received a
request to confirm your subscription
for my newsletter. I am switching
over to a new provider, GetResponse. They require
a confirmation from each subscriber.
If you have already sent your confirmation,
thank you. You will get the newsletter next
month.
If you have not sent your confirmation, and
would like to continue receiving the newsletter:
- Find that email.
- Go ahead and do it now. You might forget
later.
- Click on the confirmation link in the email.
- You are all set.
- If you can't find the email, don't worry. I
will send out a reminder next week to those who
have not confirmed their subscription.
Thank you,
Marla |

| This weekend, Labor Day
weekend, marks the official end of summer for
many people. School starts, summer work hours
end... With this may come the feeling that it is
time to really get back to "work."
While it may seem counter
intuitive, maybe it is time to slow down. That is,
take the time needed to reflect. Here are some
questions to help you get started:
1. What are my goals for
this upcoming month, semester six months or year?
(Decide what length of time feels comfortable.)
2. What do I need to do to reach
these goals?
3. How can I break the goal into
manageable tasks?
4. When am I going to do each of
these task?
5. What resources do I have
available to help me reach my goals?
6. Are there other resources
available to me that would help successfully
accomplish my goal?
7. What other questions do I need
to answer to have clarity about the value of my
goal and the best path to get there?
8. Am I taking care of myself so
that I reach my goals with greater ease and less
struggle?
9. How would taking a step back
and taking a deep breath ensure that I am going
after what I really want?
10. Is it time to stop?
As always, I would enjoy hearing your
experience of slowing down to get where you
want to go as effectively as possible.
Oh, yes, have fun!
