Dear Friends,
I'm taking a break ;). I just finished the final edits on my next
book and I need a rest. It's called The Art of Extreme Self
Care: Transform Your Life One Month at a Time, and it will be
released at the beginning of January, 2009. The book is similar to
Life Makeovers, except that it's a monthly program that offers a way
to practice Extreme Self Care every month for a year. It'll make a
great tool for those of you in Life Makeover Groups and I'm also
making arrangements to have the book available exclusively to members
of this community in December (before anyone else sees it :). I'll
keep you posted on the progress.
Because I just finished the book and am heading out to the Celebrate
Your Life conference in Chicago, I've decided to take a few days off
to practice a little extreme self care of my own. Hence this
vacation message. I'll be back again next week with a new
newsletter, and in the meantime, I thought I'd send you one of my
favorite quotes -- it's something I use while writing when I find
myself questioning wether or not I have something important to share
with the world. It's by Martha Graham. I hope her words speak to you.
"There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening
that is translated through you into action,
and because there is only one of you in all time,
this expression is unique. If you block it, it will
never exist through any other medium and be
lost. The world will not have it.
It is not your business to determine how good
it is; nor how valuable it is; nor how it compares
with other expressions. It is your business to
keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the
channel open.
You do not even have to believe in yourself or
your work. You have to keep open and aware
directly to the urges that motivate *you*.
Keep the channel open . . .
No artist is pleased . . .
There is no satisfaction whatever at any time.
There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction;
a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and
makes us more alive than the others."
Have a wonderful week...
Love,
Cheryl
