A fellow coach and I had been discussing personal attributes. She mentioned a book by Michael Port, “Book Yourself Solid,” In there, she says, is a short questionnaire to ask yourself what makes you uniquely you. And you can answer the questions, of course, but you may not be able to answer them as well and more objectively than someone else, let’s say a friend, mentor, or client.

You are super busy in your world, I know. But I’d like to ask a favor. I’d be most honored if you would complete a short survey to help me see what makes me uniquely me and how my posts may have impacted you. I’ve always been one to look inside for self-development, and this will help me move forward with the writing, coaching, and public speaking aspects of my business.

The survey may take 5-10 minutes of your time and is for anyone who read my ramblings this month. In return for you kindness and time I will give you a chapter of my latest e-book, The Acceptance Factor. Simply include your name and email address at the end of the survey. No opt-ins, no being added to an email list.

Sound fair?

Click here to access the survey.  

This survey may be something you want to do as well, especially if you’re just starting out with your business or entrepreneurship. It’s a great way to find out how others see you, and also perhaps, use their comments as testimonials until you can gather ones from those who personally work with you or take one of your programs.

It has been an honor and a pleasure being on this journey with you. I’ve learned from you, I’ve laughed with you, and I’ve also grown with you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

To your success,
PeggyLee

It’s time to open up those curtains and let the sunshine in! Even if the sun is blocked by clouds!

Yesiree!

This day in Western Wisconsin of the good old U.S. of A. the sun is shining. In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, friends and relatives are reporting in they are safe. Thank you!

Also in the aftermath, I give thanks for all that is good in my life.

For a moment, I wanted to backspace to delete those words I just typed. I wonder what’s up with that!

Maybe I shouldn’t be feeling this good with everything that’s going on while others are waking to the horrific reality of storm damage or loss of life.

Perhaps I shouldn’t be feeling this good because there are other aspects in my life that aren’t so good and in need of attention.

No, no, no!

Just because I am feeling positive and full of promise and delight, does not mean I lack compassion or caring of others!

And that goes for you, too!

I’m having difficulty this morning in writing down my thoughts without editing and being very judgmental about them. Yet, I know this is only temporary. My head is busy being somewhere else other than here in my living room. It’s in Pennsylvania with my daughter; it’s with other extended family members along the east coast; it’s with a few other friends not in harms way, however, not in my close reach, either.

But everything is still OK. So maybe that is only where I need to be today …. and not worry about anyone or anything else.

I’ll take this as my cue.

I’m OK. You’re OK. We’re OK.

To your success,

PeggyLee

I woke up this morning with three musical notes playing in my head… I wish I knew which ones they were for certain—my ear is not that perfect for music.

As my morning routine commences, I grab my cell phone – after my coffee – and read my email and Facebook (FB) posts. Coming across a FB group’s deep question concerning a how-to, I am soon mesmerized with the questions members have in response to the organizer’s original query.

I am quite certain that those three musical notes I heard were meant for me to write a concerto of success in a new program that’s screaming to be developed.

As I read other blog posts, my friend Ali Bierman wrote about waking to a song in her head.

Isn’t it amazing how we can be in sync with another human being?

With the notes dancing in my head, I began writing the thoughts that came to mind. A new program that will help those in the throes of transition—not only from outside forces, but the inner influences, as well—was presenting itself to me; my excitement builds as does the crescendo.

My fingers could hardly keep up with my thoughts!

When inspiration hits you, what steps do you take to harness it?

Attention Healers, Intuitives, and anyone else who might be able to help

In less than 24 hours a situation has occurred TWICE and I believe there might be a message to be made aware of, other than the one I’m coming up with.

My message? That people are rude, inconsiderate, and disrespectful of those around them and their surroundings. So, what’s really up?

Why and what is the situation you might ask.

Our home is up for sale; the big red sign is in the front yard. My husband and I are empty-nesters. We keep the blinds closed only when watching TV or to keep the house cool.

The situation is this. Last night someone parked a minivan facing the opposite way of traffic in front of our driveway so that it was blocked. The house directly across the street is for sale as well, and just saw the realtor pulling away. In my pajamas (I wasn’t feeling well at all) I hailed him down. I asked if he could tell the people moving in to move the minivan. He answered back that no one was in the house.

My husband then suggested to go in the back yard to see if anyone was walking around looking at the property. This had happened a month or so ago; the older couple had their two dogs in the back yard to “check and see how they liked it.” The nerve! They said they didn’t realize anyone was living here. WHAT?!

Back to the most recent story. When I checked the back yard, our next door neighbor to the south was in his back yard with another man. I went through the garage to the front our home where I could speak to the two men.

I asked about the minivan and the neighbor’s friend said he’d move it; the neighbor said they’d be leaving in a few minutes. I strongly requested that it be moved immediately out of our way. The friend apologized and said he didn’t realize anyone was living here.

After a bit more conversation, I returned to the garage only to hear laughter as I closed the door. I went back out and said, “You can laugh if you wish, but please don’t assume that just because there is a for sale sign in the yard means that no one lives there.”

The friend answered, “I’m sorry ma’am; I’ll move it right away.”

I must tell you that I was not very nice; I wasn’t feeling well and had my pajamas and robe on, as I previously mentioned. Oh yes. I was the old crazy lady living next door. The thing is we’ve always had great relationships with our neighbors. I felt disrespected.

The next part of the story is when we came home from a day of shopping, a different vehicle, parked in the right direction of traffic, was partially blocking our driveway.

So what gives? Why did our driveway get blocked by two different vehicles in under twenty-four hours? What am I/we calling forth and why or how? I’m seeking the answers from within, but the voices are quiet. And now, I’m asking the question publicly in hopes of an awareness revealing itself.

Thank you, thank you, thank you all for the loving support.

To our success,
PeggyLee

Have you seen the movie Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close about a young boy who lost his father in the Twin Towers on that fateful morning in September 2001? He’s trying to make sense of a senseless act.

While watching the movie, memories of that terrible and fateful day came flooding back to me. They were memories of how my boss (I was working for Northwest Airlines who merged with Delta a few years ago) didn’t believe me when I told her a plane had struck one of the towers; of how I walked into the video room and eventually into a coworker's cubicle who had a small-screen television on. Those huddled around watched in disbelief the second plane smash into the other tower. And then for the next five days, hearing the silence in the sky; no planes taking off or landing; no white trails of jets tracing lines in the blue sky above. It was a type of eerie or scary feeling that might occur around Halloween.

As I continued watching the Tom Hanks movie, the title of this post came barreling into my mind. I went to sleep with the words on my mind and I woke in the same manner. I couldn’t shake them, so it was time to get up and write down those words and thoughts to quiet the banging and get them out of my head.

I was amazed at the simple truth it carried; the job loss I experienced took eight years in the making!

But then, logic returned and I remembered that 9-11 wasn’t the beginning of the economic downtown; it was already happening earlier in the year; in fact, March 2001 had been when the first of the layoffs came, and they continued well after Northwest and Delta airlines officially merged in 2009.

My fate had been etched during those years; perhaps yours was too.

I am beginning to believe that events happen to put things right, to put us on our right path. That belief has helped me make sense of the things that don’t make sense, much like Oskar tried to do in the movie. He did lose something very close to him, but he also gained.

I stand with Oskar.

To your success,
PeggyLee

Everything’s OK. I feel as if I’m flat-lining. No, I’m not dying; I’m just at a h-u-u-u-u-m-m-m-m.

Today is October 25 and the morning has been filled with thunder and rainfall. It’s not yet six o’clock and the darkness still abounds. There’s an old farmer’s <tale> that says six months after the last thunder is heard is when the crops should be planted the following spring.

The thought just came to me of what if we could put a platitude in place such as this for our daily life or business? When such-and-such happens, then six months—four months, or two months—later we would do this-and-that.

What would your such-and-this-and-that be?

I’m thinking about my own answer to this question. The first thought that came to mind was the this-and-that, the end product with product being the operative word. I’d develop a strong program, perhaps a week-long workshop for the personal growth of my followers. I would need a good six months to create it!

The second this-and-that which came to mind was writing another book; this one would go much deeper into the Self to help my readers gain and increase self-confidence, self-love, self-worthiness, and self-esteem—much like I’m doing now.

So why couldn’t I accomplish both writing the book and creating the workshop? Let’s see; six months from today would be…November, December, January, February, March… APRIL 25.

Oh my gosh! All sorts of ideas are beginning to surface! And so are the doubts; however, I know how to respond to their foreboding questions!

Could you really create enough content for seven full days? Who says I have to present the entire workshop myself? I would bring in a few of my mentors and fellow coaches to present their expertise; after all, it’s how I grew.

You don’t live in a big city! No; but I’m only 45 minutes away from the Mall of America—now how’s THAT for a venue!

Could you really pull this off? There is every reason to believe I can, yes!

What about your book? When will you have time write it if you’re planning a big gig? I will need the distraction of a second fiddle; a book is the perfect avenue.

I won’t continue with the Doubting Thomas in my head, but you can get a sense of how I quiet my limiting beliefs and doubts.

As bold as this is to put it in writing and share across the world, the universe now has the premise; backspacing the characters will not deter the force of motion I just put forth. In the back of my mind, the thoughts have been milling around that there is something bigger on my plate.

I think the flat-line and the hum has gone into a full-speed-ahead! I’ll keep you posted!

Tell me; would you be interested in an offering such as this one, and what would you like to drink in during that time?

To your success,

PeggyLee

Why do you think or believe stuff happens—to you, to others—such as an accident or a death of a young person?

This post may be a bit morose, however, the question arose today in conversation; and I believe is fully suited to change and transition.

I tend to lean toward when we are taken from this earth, we have fulfilled our purpose. When a young person dies like our friend a month ago, I believe that person is immediately given angelic powers to watch over and care for their family. I have also heard of late, and also agree, an accident or medical event puts us back on our correct path so we can accomplish what we are meant to while in this heavenly body on earth.

To me it’s rather beautiful even though the time can be full of challenges.

A part of my extended family was involved in a head-on collision. Everyone in their vehicle, a mixture of eight adults and kids (relatives and friends), survived, while the other driver, an elderly woman who crossed over into their lane, did not. Everyone was wearing their seatbelts. Although the cause of the accident has not been released, speculation is the woman suffered a medical event.

So sad.

What happens now to the survivors? Once their injuries heal, both physical and emotional, what’s next for them?

A few years ago, a young girl I know was in a horrific jet-ski accident. The woman seated in front of her died instantly; the young girl’s life was in the balance for a few days afterward. After recovering from most of her injuries (she’s still plagued to a degree yet today), I talked with her mother. This particular conversation went very deep. The young girl wondered why she survived. I shared my belief that Alissa (not her real name) carried a special message that hadn’t yet been delivered; her purpose on this earth not yet fulfilled. It seemed to satisfy Mom.

Tragic events happen every day. I also believe there is no rhyme or reason.

The questions of why. Why do bad things happen to good people? Why do these things always happen to me? Why can’t I catch a break?

What do you believe when stuff happens? I’m curious to know your thoughts.

To your success,
Peggy Lee

You are nearly beside yourself. You’ve been in this online marketing group for over a year now. A few members are getting under your skin. Wow! Did they really just post that? Don’t they ever read their email to get the up-to-date info?

People in your local networking group seem to be just as bad. What gives?

We’ve all been there.

If you are feeling a bit uncomfortable or increasingly frustrated with a Facebook group, another group you’re involved in, or even with your current friends, it doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with them—or you…. it simply means you’ve grown! You’ve gained, perhaps, all the knowledge, wisdom, and tools you can get from your colleagues.

Growing pains are not just for kids!

 Accepting growth using this concept makes transition easier when the more challenging times are upon you. By changing your thinking and belief system the twinges of uncomfortable become the sign it’s ready to move onto the next step or climb up to the next rung on the ladder.

But what if you suffer a misstep or slip down a rung? Wouldn’t it be better to stay where you’re at? Well, you could; but if you do remain in that same group your rate of growth—personal or professional—may be deterred, or even become stagnant.

No worries. You still have the knowledge, the expertise, and the will to continue on. But I believe what will also continue on is the increasing frustration with those who were once your friends and mentors.

A few years ago I was in a working relationship with one of my mentors. I learned so much from this person who gave me ME; however, I became increasingly aware and agitated by how this mentor seem to blame the non-success of events (aka, increasing the bottom line with dollars) on the very people who heralded this angel and did everything in their power to assist in making the events a success.

In order to not break the bond we once had and to keep the relationship on a good note, I chose to move on, to remove the source of my frustration. I knew that I had learned everything I needed to know from this person, and that it was time to take the next step, grabbing onto the higher rung of the ladder.

I’ve learned a long time ago when life keeps handing you the same outcome over and again, the problem exists within yourself. You must take time to explore the caverns within to determine and locate the tiny beast. Sometimes you may find fear; and sometimes you may find there is nothing except emptiness. Confront the issue and devise a plan to move forward.

The bridges you don’t burn now will later become the span of your futures.

I remember the growing pains of my childhood to this day; the pain in my legs was excruciating! I could do nothing but wait for the ache to pass and my body to grow. The pains of adulthood, however, I can do something about.

Are you experiencing growing pains? What are you doing to ease the pain? Will you take the flashlight into the dark recesses to find the source of agitation?

I would love to hear your thoughts on this concept.

To your success,
PeggyLee

It’s early in the morning. The sun has yet to make its appearance in the eastern sky. The birds are not even singing yet. I sit in my living room in my favorite writing chair, eyes closed, letting my thoughts type out on my laptop, hearing the tick-tick of the second hand on the battery operated clock.  The house is making sounds, tiny booms of the pipes, the whirr of the motor in my laptop and most of all the silence in my head.

Oh yes, there are words coming out but when my fingers are not in motion on the keyboard there is a peaceful quiet playing in the background.  Thoughts are drawn to the day’s activities, a mastermind call, an appointment, and two articles that need to be written within the next couple days; one for an online magazine, the other a guest blog post.

What prolific ideas will I share? What do I want readers to know most? What will I send them as a gift for reading my words or listening to an interview?  What would I want to receive—that perhaps is the better question.

I guess at this point, I would like to know that all will be well. That I will be profitable in whatever direction I choose to work in.  That I am loved and appreciated; and that I am heard and understood. 

Yet, because of the contacts I have, the people I know around the globe, I have profited from the love and appreciation they have shown me by remaining my friend, my acquaintance and sharing with me their words of supportive wisdom and caring.

So I would like to repay that kindness and let you know, yes you, who are reading these words I so meticulously wrote this morning, that I am grateful for you, appreciative of you, and most of all support you in your heroic endeavors of making this world a better place.

To your success,
PeggyLee
