Annabolic Times-March, 2012 Putting the “U” in FUN
Author Carlos Casteneda said: “It takes just as much energy to be miserable as it does to be happy.” You choose. Is your fun-o-meter score registering at 0? If so, it may be time to FUN SHUI your life. In fact, if you want to live a more happy and balanced life, it’s just plain FUNdamental to add more playfulness and laughter. After all, fun is one of the best things to have!
Annabolic Times-February, 2012 EI EI Oh!
Happy Valentines Day! Welcome to this month’s ANNabolic Times!
As Valentine’s Day approaches, you may be thinking about the state of relationships in your life. Relationships are the cornerstone of an extraordinary life. How are yours?
The most important relationship you have is the one that you have with—you guessed it—you. If you had to describe your treatment of yourself, how would you describe it? Often times, if we treated our friends the way we treat ourselves, we wouldn’t have any. Are you treating yourself like a best friend or something else?
Maya Angelou said: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” How are you making yourself feel?
Annabolic Times-January, 2012 Life is a Balancing Act
I hope this finds you already enjoying 2012. May this year present you with happiness, health, wisdom and wealth. May it also present you with the time to take a breath and enjoy the wonderful life that you have created.
Try something for a moment. Stand up and balance yourself on one leg. Try doing it for 10 seconds. Notice how difficult or easy it is for you to hold your balance. And, more importantly, notice what’s involved in the process.
Annabolic Times-December, 2011 The Techie vs The Social Butterfly
Season’s Greetings,
I hope this finds all of you very well and enjoying the holiday season.
Back up to September, 2011 when I took the Genos Emotional Intelligence assessment. I needed to take a 360 (I was rating myself and others were rating me) assessment as preparation for the Genos workshop that I was attending. To my surprise, my lowest score was in the skill of emotional self-awareness. While my score was still way above the norm, this was a surprise to me. I’m a coach for goodness sakes.
Annabolic Times-November, 2011 Gratitude is an Attitude
I hope this finds everyone well and anticipating a wonderful holiday season! I want to express my gratitude to each of you for providing me with the opportunity to serve you. I am grateful to be doing what I love and thankful for the role of helping you become your best self and create a life that aligns with your dreams.
As we approach the day for which the entire purpose is expressing gratitude, we often get distracted with cooking, shopping and family issues. Let’s give ourselves the gift of time to set all of those things aside and honor Thanksgiving in its true sense; to connect with and appreciate the abundance in our lives.
Take a moment to reflect upon those elements in your life with which you feel blessed. What inner qualities do you possess that allow you to serve you and others in a positive way?
Annabolic Times-June, 2009 Changes in Lattitudes-Unpaving the Road to Hell
Welcome to the Summer 2009 edition of the Ann-abolic Times! I hope this finds you well.
We’re more than halfway through our wonderful summer and of our year 2009. How are you spending your time? Which, if any, of your New Years’ resolutions are still pending?

It’s not too late to make 2009 your best year ever, which, by the way, is something that is completely within your control. You can shape it, create it and achieve it; moment by precious moment. The choice is yours.
Annabolic Times-May, 2009 Putting the “F” Word Back into Your Life
There are a lot of “F” words in our lives, but the focus of this newsletter is on one of my favorites, FITNESS!
If you’d like to see me talk about this live, and gain the opportunity for coaching or group support and results, I am pleased to announce the Your Life – Live it Well Health and Nutrition Transforming Boot Camp on June 27, 2009 at the Chicago Hilton/Indian Lakes Resort in Bloomingdale, Illinois.
Annabolic Times-April, 2009 Byte Me/Techno-Clutter Busting
It’s been about one month since my “Spring Cleaning” newsletter hit your mailbox. Have you taken the time to “de-clutter” your physical space and breathe? If not, take the opportunity to continue and to reinforce the habit of cleaning your space. The transformation of your home or office will literally transform your life! Your expanded space will provide you with more than you realize. It can provide some very significant clues about the who that you want to unlock to become your best you!
In this newsletter, we are going to focus on the techno-side of your world. Because of the way we are bombarded with information on a daily basis, it’s no wonder we feel overwhelmed. We are over-stimulated. Constant overreliance on external information to make informed decisions puts us in the habit of looking outside of ourselves to make an “informed decision”, rather than relying on our intuition, the place where true wisdom resides.
Annabolic Times-March, 2009 Clean It Up!
Spring is finally here (well, the calendar says so) and it’s time to embark upon a popular seasonal activity-spring-cleaning. How about taking this opportunity to take one of the first steps to bringing your best self to the world? The transformation of your home or office will literally transform your life!
As a life-coach, I help individuals determine not only what they want most, but also what they need to rid themselves of to discover who they really are. When you look around the spaces where you live and work, who and what do you see? Is it time to step off of the excess express and out of your life as a pro-crap-in-ator and embark upon a clutter-busting journey?
