I never blogged this week. I meant to. I just didn’t get to it.Perhaps it’s time to reflect on some of the things I DID accomplish over the past seven days. Here they are, in no particular order:
- Prepared for and launched the new Brilliance-Based Businesswomen’s Salon with 8 awesome participants
- Signed a new client
- Negotiated successfully with the administration of my kids’ school
- Dealt with my car’s dead battery
- Led the Women Entrepreneurs’ Salon with brand new brilliance-based content (yes, we’re now running 2 groups concurrently)
- Coached clients privately
- Loaned an umbrella
- Reconnected with my 1997-2004 women entrepreneurs’ mastermind group (what a fun lunch we had!)
- Updated my Program Guide for spring
- Found an umbrella
- Saw 3 friends in person
- Put together an invitation for an upcoming event
- Ran 3 times in preparation for a 5k
- Revised the sales page for the next Brilliance-Based Businesswomen’s Salon (coming to a telephone and computer near you June 15, 2011)
- Played several games of Scrabble and Whirly Word on my iphone (my latest guilty pleasures)
- Signed up for a SitterCity account and received lots of applications that sound good so far
- Checked in with my accountability partners and my Super Support Team (who, by the way, were busy accomplishing other great things for my business)
- Fed and snuggled with my kids
- Received coaching
- Handled a challenging parenting situation
- Heard some disturbing financial news
- Thought up a potential strategy for coping with the disturbing financial news
- Took my son to a doctor’s appointment
- Pow-wowed with my divorce attorney twice
- Reconnected with a former colleague (now a brilliance-based businesswoman!) over coffee
- Washed, dried and put away 4 loads of laundry
- Ran a 5k, all by myself (if you don’t count the other 5999 runners)
It’s MORE THAN ENOUGH, right?
Recently I read this Oprah Winfrey quote: “The more you praise and celebrate in your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.”
Are you criticizing yourself for not completing a particular something? What have you done lately that deserves celebration? What’s an easy way you can get that thing done and celebrate at the same time??? Please share!
(Hint – the solution may occur to you while you’re not working. My A-HA! came during the 5k.)
Beautiful list! WOW!
Well, that is an incredibly impressive list Debra. I think your brilliance is shining through and is an inspiration to me!
Thank you for that quote – it is wonderful!
It was fun to run the 5K with you and to be present for your a-ha moment! Must have been the endorphins, but I also blogged about what I've accomplished. For every to-do list item we make, it's good to make a have-done list too. Great reminder!
