Summer, CPR for Moms and The Social Book Club

Hello everyone!

We’ve had a glorious week in Vancouver and as flip flops become my footwear of choice, it makes me think of the summer approaching. This is a time of fun, sun, and also some planning. What kind of summer do you want to have? Restful and laid back, adventurous, filled with road trips or entertaining at home?

I’m planning my summer with the end goal in mind – the kind of memories I want to hold at the beginning of September. So our theme this season is “exploration”. My five-year old and I have a trip to Disneyland coming up, to explore his dreams and imagination. Also, it’s our first summer on our beautiful island home and we look forward to exploring the many beaches and trails with new found friends.

On the work front, although things are busier than ever, I am going to make time for a creative break to explore a new vision for one of my businesses. This means saying NO to opportunities, networking events and other typical business activities in order to…think and create. Sometimes we get so caught up in the mundane, we forget to step back and connect to the big picture of why we are doing something.

If you’d like more information about creating a theme for the season, check out this article http://www.connectthedotscoach.com/newsletter_0906.html

So, this is a “mixed bag” email and what I have for you now are a gift and an invite:

#1 – A gift for Mothers

Every year, Mother’s Day gets a lot of attention in the media. About how overwhelmed we are, how if we were paid for all the work we do, we would make six-figures and what we really want is some time off alone! Plus, most women are not just wives and mothers, but hold down careers, volunteer, care for elderly parents and are usually available to friends at a moment’s notice. If this sounds like you, I’ve created a f’ree e-course to take back control of your life.

#2 – The Social Book Club for Smart and Savvy Women

A couple of years ago, when everyone got too busy, my book club disbanded. Not only did I miss the camaraderie of like-minded women, I missed the discussions. Although I read a lot, I still have way more books on my to-read list. Along with my colleague Emma, we are launching the Social Book Club – we read the books and you get the lessons! If you’re in the Vancouver area, come join us for some drinks, a bit of networking and meet fun women who want to learn. Get the details at the events page on www.connectthedotscoach.com

That’s it for now. I hope to hear from you or see you this summer – living your season’s intention. Feel free to circulate this to anyone that may be interested in the gift and invite.
