It does help in planning enough to eat & drink for everyone to be Merry!

Donations and proceeds to benefit the Angel Entrepreneur fund sponsored by the InSights Collaboratory non-profit organization, supporting the entrepreneurial vision at all ages.

 

Donations will also support the memorial fund of Phil Zyskowksi , a friend of InSights who passed away suddenly earlier this month, and leave a wife and two small boys behind. Phil did all of the production work on the InSights CD’s – and most recently my recording of the Science of Getting Rich. An amazing individual, we spent hours together working on our projects and he spent many more listening to and refining our voices – which in itself is humbling. Hugs to his family – he will be missed.

 

Gratitude is the word of the day.

holiday gratitude ornament p175868138275771013z715w 325 Gratitude is the word of the day.I am grateful for each of you who are in my life – each and every day. Isn’t it wonderful that we take an entire day off to cook too much food, over indulge in everything, and watch football for the rest of the day just in time to wake up after not enough sleep to venture out to stores to buy more of what we don’t need, but feel we must have?

 

Let’s be grateful for each moment, for each other, and for the choice that we have to do all of the above, every day of our lives and not just once a year.

 

If your choice includes too much food and football, good for you.

 

If your choice includes shopping and chocolate, good for you.

 

If your choice includes sleeping in, taking quiet time to meditate, or share time with family and friends, good for you.

 

Are you sensing the theme here? Be grateful, and take the time to make it good for you. Each and every day in whatever you choose – because yes, your life – and living a happy one, may just be all about you.

 

When you are happy – your light can shine more brightly and help make the world a happier place. So be your shiny, twinkly self and the world will be grateful for you. I know I am.

Are your mountains big enough?

A Special Note to You:

As we wrap up our 2009 experiences, we’d like to take a moment to say thank you to our amazing community, friends, and supporters. We have had so many amazing experiences this year.  The support that we are able to give to each other, helps us all. Thank you to our most enthusiastic of Enthusiasts, the Friends of InSights, and the communities and groups we have met this year. We look forward to an even more prosperous and rewarding New Year. Remember to make your mountain big enough, because these little ones are just way to easy to climb.
 
All the best for your continued prosperity and success, and to you enjoying each moment of happiness and Bliss that every day brings.
 
With Gratitude & Hugs,

Allan Curtis and Sandi Maki
Co-Founders and Enthusiastic Leaders of the InSights Group
