I Have To Count to 10 !!

We're all doing a lot of things. All the time. Tight schedule. Run, run, run. Lots of roles to fulfill. So, we can feel STRESSED OUT!

My friend, relax - I have a very "sweet" solution for you (as my teenage nephew would say)...

I often click on a web site that opens with soft, soft, soothing, slow chords of beautiful music. If I close my eyes, I can gently count to ten - and it reminds me to 'not sweat the small stuff'. I'm reminded that my health and peace are Number One. I close my eyes, let the soft music float over me, and count to 10. I end up smiling, softly smiling, every single time... "Stress, be gone..."

When I return to work, I'm refreshed and calmed - and it just took a few moments.

Of course, the site is wonderful for its content, too! This site, ConsciousGreetings.com offers no-cost, beautiful eCards which I'm sure you'll enjoy sending.

But before you ever use this lovely site for sending an eCard, please accept my invitation to use it as a gentle whenever-you- need-it Peace Place.

MARK it as a FAVORITE for easy access for the year 2006, ahead.

Dear Jean,

As a Virtual Assistant, I am a resource for my successful entrepreneurial clients. I hope this newsletter is also a resource - for both business and personal life. We all play many roles; I hope some of the web sites I suggest are of service in sculpting Your Best Life.

Best wishes from the JEANius!


 
Thanks Heavens for Girls

If you're an aunt, a mom, a grandmother, a neighbor, you are probably an important role model to the greatest joy - girls. Babies are cute; boys are dear; but girls hold a special place in my heart.

Frankly, it's challenging to be a woman or girl. Income stats show we make $.76 on the dollar for what men make. We can be politically marginized, societally discounted and are often victims. So, I'm on a roll to help girls in this world of negative media deluge, pressure marketing, sexual pressures, eating disorders...

Here's a helper - the beautiful organization of Girls, Inc. They are an organization dedicated to helping girls - they function as an after-school and summer organization to keep girls safe and flourishing. In their words, "Girls Incorporated is a national nonprofit youth organization dedicated to inspiring all girls to be strong, smart, and bold. With roots dating to 1864, Girls Inc has provided vital educational programs to millions of American girls, particularly those in high-risk, underserved areas. Today, innovative programs help girls confront subtle societal messages about their value and potential, and prepare them to lead successful, independent, and fulfilling lives. "

The Girls, Inc. web site is full of information for you, but the link I'm attaching is just one part of their excellent site, the TIPS they suggest for helping you deal with the GIRL in your life.

Girls today are the bedrock of our future safe and peaceful society.


 
Your Money is Yours - Not Theirs
 

I'm thinking we should spend our money on fresh flowers, Brie cheese, wine, books and new socks. So, let's save money on boring stuff like AUTO INSURANCE.

(Auto Insurance Companies- I'll try not to get started on my fight with State Farm because they won't pay my medical bills when their client rear-ended me in her huge SUV talking on her cell phone when all of the REST of us were pulled over to let an ambulance through... I'll TRY not to get started on my State Farm soap box. I'm trying... I'm trying... I'm failing... "I'm MELTING...")

Save your money for you. Here's an excellent link - this site can give you experts' advice on a number of topics, help you calculate mortgage payments, retirement projections - all kinds of things! Bankrate.com is a great site. I'm attaching a link for one of their many articles, this one on smart ways to save money on auto insurance.

This site is a nice advisory site for lots of financial arenas. Check it out!


 
About Jean
 

As a Virtual Assistant, I partner with entrepreneurs who'd like to spend more time performing their expertise, not working on operational, administrative, or promotional tasks. That's where I fit in.

If you or someone you know would like to delegate tasks that cause "the most pain" each month, or that are neglected because of that aversion - that's where I fit in.

I invite you to contact me with questions, suggestions for my newsletter, names of overly busy people who'd like to be referred to me, or just to say 'hi'. Please email me - or click my web site link. Be Well!
