So what does it feel like???

Wow.  Amazing.  More exciting every day!  THAT is what it feels like to see my book in print!  To hold it in my hands and turn the pages and realize that I did this!!!!!   I almost feel like I gave birth!  

Ok no more bragging!  I just wanted to share that with you because I want you to know how excited I am about this project and how AMAZOIS it feels to have set a goal, done some research, set a deadline and made it happen!

It makes me ask, "What's next for this girl?"  The momentum is quite the energy revver!  I think I made up a word, but who cares!!  I wrote a book!!

What does this have to do with you, you ask?  WELL my GORGEOUS creature, here is the simple truth:

If I can do this, YOU can do it.  There is no magic here.  I just took my own advice and did it.

Honestly, this has been a dream of mine for years!  Many years!  I've written two unpublished books in the past.  I hated them when they were done.  Then false start after false start after false start, I tried to start a work of fiction.  Only to get bored with my story after several weeks and pitch the idea.

Then after some inspiration from Cara Alwill Leyba, I found my subject.  Once that happened everything fell into place.

Now, I'm asking you to let me inspire you!  So tell me this:  What is your lifelong dream?  Do you want to write?  Teach?  Learn?  What would you do if you weren't doing what you're doing now?  Do you have your dream job?  What do you love?  People?  Animals?  Children?

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU KNEW YOU COULD NOT FAIL??

Make a list.....

There's MUCH more to come....

Super cute...and Brilliant!!

Hello my friends!  I am super excited to share with you that both Volume 1 and Volume 2 of the 365 Brilliant Days Planner are available on Amazon.com!!

Volume 1 will cover January thru June 2015
Volume 2 will cover July thru December 2015

So who needs this planner?  YOU do!  If you are:
Entrepreneurial at all
If you love to stay organized
If you want to get organized
If you have goals you want to meet
If you need to set some goals
If you want to learn to set goals, or
If you want to become organized for the first time!
If you could use some daily inspiration to keep you moving!
.....this planner is for you.

Also, each day includes an area for journaling.  Most of us have tried journaling.  Most of us go buy a pretty blank book, write in it for a few weeks - or a few days - and the book ends up on a shelf or in a drawer, along with the other pretty books we started writing in.  Here's the difference with "365" - your journal and your planner are in the same book.  Every day.  On the same page as your appointments.  And also on the same page are the following;  your to do list, your people to contact, your errands to run.  All in the same place.  Every day.  That alone is empowering.  This is a book you'll never want to let out of your sight.  This book IS you!  And you will never feel more accomplished than you will once you dive into this!!

I don't want to leave out this important section... "Today I am Celebrating..."  What???  That's right my loves.  Every day,  and I mean EVERY DAY I want you to choose something to celebrate!  Some days it will be a big accomplishment!  Some days it will be that you got home in one piece!  Some days it will be that you didn't harm your boss!  There is always something to celebrate with a glass of champagne, or sparkling water!  You will have many things to toast to once you begin living what you've planned for yourself rather than just letting life happen randomly to you.

I worked very hard to make this available going into DECEMBER, because I truly believe that it is the perfect gift for yourself, or for any female friend you have!  Personally, I will be giving both Volume 1 and Volume 2, wrapped in a cute ribbon with a girly pen tied to it, to several of my friends. So, why not give someone you care about the gift of confidence and empowerment!  Everyone uses some type of planner.  This one just comes with the added benefit of personal growth!  Plus it's super cute!!

Any woman from ages 16 to 70 will love this, I promise!

Also, I want to share with you that I will be offering a Goal Setting Workshop where you will learn to set goals in all areas of your life track them in your "365."  I will offer live, in person workshops for those who are nearby as well as "phone-shops" for everyone else!   More info on this coming soon!

In the meantime, I hope I've given you some good ideas to consider.  Please let me know what you think.

With Passion and Brilliant Love,

Donna!

So very thankful...

Gosh, where do I start?  

This Thanksgiving and every day, I am grateful for so many things and people.  

I have had amazing support from my friends and family in the writing and publishing of my book.  People have been asking me every day when it would be ready, as well as cheering me along the way.  

My goal has been to get it ready before Thanksgiving.  Since it's a planner, I wanted people to have the opportunity to get it for themselves before New Years and purchase it as a Holiday gift if they want!  And thanks to all the support I've received, been able to accomplish that goal.

Also, I am thankful for my family.  My wonderful, supportive husband Robert is the best thing that ever happened to me and I am thankful for him every day.

My grand babes make me feel thankful every day as well.  They teach me things all the time.

There are so many people I am thankful for that if I listed names, this blog would go on forever....BUT...I am going to try!

Robert, Bonnie, Brandon, Zoe, Ava, Bobbi, Shaylin, Madison, Brandon, Mom Addie, Dad Hank, Step-mom Diane, Brother Ed, Joshua, Jordan, Rachael, Brother Dick, Angie, Richard, Kayla, and the whole crew.  And that's just the Fam!!

Cara Alwill Leyba, Connie, all the chickadees at work.  And the chickaboys, too.

I'm so grateful for all that I have and all the opportunities that I am presented with every day.  I'm humbled and honored.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!  Enjoy every minute!

Love,

Donna
