Hi, !
In this issue:
On a Personal Note
Happy Spring! Are you excited
for warmer weather to arrive? I am -- although the winter here
in Atlanta has been very mild.
Last week I went on a skiing vacation with my family and hubby in
Steamboat Springs, CO. Spring skiing rocks! It was so beautiful. Here’s
a photo from our trip.
Accompanying the arrival of Spring are thoughts of spring cleaning.
As you work on your physical space, I urge
you to do a little cleaning in your mental space as well. More on
this in Food for Thought.

Food for Thought -- Five things that
are working: Changing your perspective
In a recent (January 29, 2007)
Time Magazine article entitled "The Brain: A user's guide,” it
talked about the power of your thoughts and the influence they have
on your life and actual brain structure. (I couldn’t help but
notice how the Law of Attraction principles, as explained in the movie
The Secret, continue to go mainstream. I love it!)
Here’s the bottom line from the article: Mental training has
the power to change the physical structure of the brain. I find this
fascinating!
When I first heard about the Law of Attraction, I thought it was
about being Pollyanna and saying everything's
OK -- when it isn't. That didn't feel right.
What
I've since learned is that it's your attitude
and your perception of
something that makes all the difference
(mental training).
It's about looking at a situation in a way that enables you to work
through it, see the silver lining, or move around it if it's an obstacle.
Try this experiment:
- First, write down 5 things that are working in your life. From
your health, your job - anything that’s working well and you are
grateful for. Starting by focusing on what’s working gets your
brain into a more positive mental state; an “attitude
of gratitude.”
- Next, write down 5 things in your life that aren’t working.
Then ask yourself, is there anything
good about these things? Could
there possibly be a silver lining?
Or are these things I need to
work through or around, and how
can I do that?
As you examine the things that aren’t working in your life,
from a more positive mental place, you have an opportunity to change
your perspective by changing your thinking. It’s all about the
power of your thoughts.

Career Corner
Choosing
a career path that's right for
you is a process. Here's a tip that can
help you get started.
Tip of the Month: Finding Support During a Career Transition
Here are some ideas on how to stay positive and focused during a
career transition:
1. Career networking - both online and in person
There are tons of career-focused networks
and resources on the internet and in your local area. Do a Google
search. Check out your home town paper to find out where the
best career focused communities are hiding.
2. Individual career coaching
A good coach is there to offer expert advice,
an objective viewpoint, positive encouragement,
and suggestions to help manage your goals
effectively.
3. A career seeking buddy
Seek like-minded people or a supportive
friend to commiserate with, share experiences with, and bounce
ideas off of.
4. A mentor or someone who has "been
there"
Is there someone in your life that you
admire because they didn't follow the status quo, made their
own way, or just seem to be living out an amazingly full and
satisfying life and career? Set up some time to talk with them.
5. Career education courses
Newspapers, career publications, public
libraries, online career resources, and
my website are
all great places to discover reasonably-priced career education
and transition courses.
Become armed with the knowledge needed
to begin your journey on the path to
a more fulfilling career.

Your Career Audio Class” to help you make your
career transition smooth and successful.
