BUSY WEEK

This has been one busy week--teleseminars, classes, newsletter, visitors--all fun and time-consuming. The challenge--how to find balance? I have learned to start with what I enjoy most and eliminate time-consuming activities that I don't NEED, e.g., teleclasses that I sign up for but don't really need to know about, reading all of my junk-mail magazines, taking on new projects, etc. All of those went by the wayside this week.

One of the most fun things I do every week is hold a Legacy Workshop at a senior citizen center. I throw out topics and each person tells me a story about what she remembers. Each session is recorded on my iPod from which I make individual CD's. I wondered if they would ever listen to them, but each week they tell me how much their kids or grandchildren enjoy hearing their stories. What a great way to pass along memories!

I also enjoy my teleseminars and find I learn as much from the participants as they learn from me.
