Mottos to live by

Lots of personal growth lately... I've been reading a fabulous book called "Fearless Living" by Rhonda Britten. There's also a sequel called "Fearless Loving."

I'm not supposed to talk about what I'm doing/thinking yet (that apparently comes at a later stage in the book, page 112/chapter 5, to be specific). But at page 75, I'm already looking at the world in whole new ways. I DID talk about this stuff with my therapist, and it was one of the more productive sessions I've ever had. I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone, including those with one or more of: anxiety problems, self-esteem/confidence problems, codependence, and possibly also depression. I'll explain the premise of the book some more at some point once I get to chapter 5.

Anyway, somewhere out of this came the following mottos, which are just as connected to the meat of this work as not, and I have no compunctions about sharing:

The secret to success is NOT brute strength or control, but rather, good strategy.

and

Creativity arises from IMPERFECTION.

I wrote these motos in bright red crayon on a white sheet that is sitting next to my mouse, alongside a drawing of Very Topsi, a prosperity-focused servitor.

Feel free to give me examples from real life that show the truth of these mottos. Do me a favour and DON'T try to discredit them; that would be counterproductive at this point.

DANAE WANTS YOU!

MOVING DAY: Saturday, August 26

I will feed and/or libate my volunteers (your choice), and pay for any gas expenses you wish reimbursed.

If you plan to help out, please let me know:
(1) If you have a car
(2) What your availability will be
(3) If you are good with ropes (no, this is not something kinky!)

No volunteer is too weak, and the more people, the less work and the more quickly it gets done. Even a "weak" volunteer can help out by holding doors, stacking/organizing/taping boxes, fetching water, etc.

There may also be a mini-moving day the late morning and early afternoon (so, maybe 11-1) of Sunday, August 20.

And remember, kids...

Waterslides and Pirates, oh my

For those who care, the waterslides and pirate outings have FINALLY been scheduled.

Waterslides will be Sunday, August 20.
Pirates will be Sunday, August 27.

When I get home tonight I will look up the feasibility of getting the group rate for the pirate outing, since I know they needed to have the money in advance somehow.
