Dreaming of Your Face

Both of these songs have so much passion in them. I've had Hinder's song stuck in my head a lot lately and who doesn't love 3 Doors Down!

>Hinder-Lips Of An Angel

"...and yes, I dreamt of you too."

3 Doors Down-Here Without You
"...dreaming of your face."

Whose face are you dreaming of?

How to Find Work You Love

Are you looking for work, considering changing careers, or interested in starting your own business? Would you like to find work you love? Below you will find simple tips I picked up while listening to Dr Susan Bernstein's Work From Within radio show.

Job Search Process

• Look over your resume. Ask yourself, "What employers would connect with this resume?"
• Get in touch with people you know and ask for their ideas.
• Join Linkedin and connect with professionals in the field.
• Find ways to connect with more people.

Changing Careers

• Network- Join Linkedin. Ask friends.
• Ask yourself, "What would I like to be doing?"
• While you are looking for work, get a sustenance job in the meantime (to be able to afford food and shelter). Ex/Temp jobs, work at a coffee shop, etc.
• Ask yourself, "What are the skills, talents and abilities that I want to be using right now?"
• What does the future look like for you?
• Keep a journal during this process.

Starting a Business

• Begin with the end in mind: How will you feel? What will it look like?
• How do you want to be of service?
• Be clear about your audience: Try out a few different audiences; Ask yourself, "Who do I want to connect with and why?"
• Speak in your audience's language: What is the benefit of your business? Describe so people can recogize themselves in who you help.

Locket Earrings

For the past month or so I have been thinking about locket necklaces. Last night, while watching a show I was mesmerized by a pair of earrings an actress was wearing. They reminded me of little lockets but for the ears. I wanted to know right then and there if such earrings were available on the market. I am so excited because I just purchased a pretty little pair of gold locket earrings on Etsy for a mere $14. I think I will give them to my neice for her birthday. They will look so pretty on her.

Thinking About 2011

With the new year upon us I have started thinking about my goals for 2011. Instead of resolutions I like to set goals instead. I think resolutions are too vague, are too easy to abandon, and create disappointment when you don't do what you set out to resolve. Whereas goals are more specific, are easier to work towards in small steps, and give you a sense of accomplishment as you follow through on your action plan. Here is an example of the difference between a resolution and a goal:

Resolution: Lose Weight
Action Plan: Join a gym, eat better
This is too vague! How much weight do you want to lose? What are you going to do at the gym? What are you going to do differently in your diet? What happens if you can't make it to the gym or you don't have time to eat healthy? This scenario creates too much room for disappointment when you do not see results.

Goal: Lose 20 pounds
Action Plan: Take 1-2 aerobics classes, sign up for a personal training session, take a yoga class, talk to a hynotherapist about weight loss, walk for 10 minutes during lunch break for a month, drink 8 glasses of water per day; eat salad 2 lunches per week
This is specific, and gives you concrete plans to take the weight off! You will feel good as you follow through on your action plan and should start to see results.

With all that said, I read an awesome article today, Resolution Revolution: A Better Way to Start Your Year by Christine Kane, that has me inspired to tweak my approach a bit. Kane suggests that we pick a theme word to guide us through the year... "Then, hold that word in your mind throughout the year, and let your word guide you to take action." For example, instead of setting a resolution of 'Get organized' you might choose a word such as 'Release.' Then throughout the year you remind yourself of your word and see what action that word takes in your life.

I have decided to set both goals and pick a theme word which I will write an affirmation around. I so excited to see how 2011 unfolds! What are your plans for the new year?

Pete Murray- Opportunity

I was listening to Pandora today and found some songs by Pete Murray that are awesome! I learned that he is from Australia and he was originally going to school for Sports Medicine when his friends encouraged him to pursue his singing professionally. He did and today his music is world famous! I love hearing stories about people pursuing their passions!
