			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These are YOUR voyages on this blue marble we call Earth.</p>
<p>This Summer <a href="http://lizmittenryan.com" target="_blank">Liz Mitten Ryan</a> has some very special Retreats available to you, and I wanted to share this video with you.</p>
<p>I’ve had the honour of interviewing Liz twice on <a href="http://welcomechangesradio.com" target="_blank">Welcome Changes Radio</a>, as well as reading her books and watching the DVD series.&#160; </p>
<p>Her Retreat is on my vision board, and while I have almost made it there, twice, divine timing has not arrived yet.</p>
<p>Is it your time?</p>
<p>Watch the video.&#160; If it resonates for you, contact Liz through <a href="http://equinisity.com">http://equinisity.com</a> and register.&#160; Please let her know who sent you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At the beginning of the year I shared an article called <a href="http://www.velmagallant.com/2009/01/21/breaking-news-are-you-spamming-yourself/" target="_blank">“Breaking News: Are You Spamming Yourself?”</a>&#160; It was a really cute article that shared how our thoughts are often Spam!</p>
<p>Today, in interview <a href="http://nanice.com" target="_blank">Nance Ellis</a> for <a href="http://welcomechangesradio.com" target="_blank">Welcome Changes Radio</a>, we spoke about those thoughts that keep us from knowing and accepting that we are divinely perfect.&#160; Those thoughts can truly be like Spam&#8211;a program that was installed when we were younger keeps sending out those spam messages!</p>
<p>Nanice offered some really great insight regarding those messages we send to ourselves that are not of service.&#160; </p>
<p>The audio will be available shortly for you to download.</p>
<p>One of things that I use to replace those spam messages with empowering and valuable messages is my <a href="http://joy-journal.com" target="_blank">JOY Journal</a>.&#160; Today is the last day for you to get $10 off the program.&#160; Just use ANNIVERSARY for the Coupon Code at <a href="http://joy-journal.com">http://joy-journal.com</a>.&#160; </p>
<p>Stop spamming yourself and install your JOY Programming!</p>
<p>Dream BIG!</p>
<p>Velma Gallant   <br />The Queen of JOY!</p>
<p>PS ~ The ANNIVERSARY coupon code will also work for <a href="http://JuicyBites.com" target="_blank">Juicy Bites of Welcome Changes</a>, which can be found at <a href="http://juicybites.com">http://juicybites.com</a>.&#160; Yes, you can get $10 off of each, as long as you purchase them separately.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s a special day for me today.&#160; 10 years!&#160; We’ve made it!&#160; It’s a wonderful milestone, and definitely worth a celebration.&#160; </p>
<p>It’s been up.&#160; It’s been down.&#160; It’s been easy.&#160; It’s been difficult.&#160; There have been times where I’ve wondered if we’d make it.&#160; Other times I knew we’d be together forever.</p>
<p>But really…what’s that all mean?</p>
<p>It means throughout the 10 years I’ve let my thoughts hang out in our past, my past, our future, my future.&#160; In reality, through those 10 years, there’s only ever been Today.</p>
<p>Today is yesterday’s tomorrow, and tomorrow’s yesterday.&#160; </p>
<p>Do I really want to be consistently hanging out in tomorrow’s and yesterdays?&#160; </p>
<p>What about today?</p>
<p>(If I keep this up, I’m going to confuse myself!)</p>
<p>Today, because that’s all there really is, has already started out wonderful.&#160; After walking our son to school together, we went for coffee at the local Tim Hortons.&#160; OK…he had coffee and I had green tea.&#160; Whatever.</p>
<p>Anyway, as we’re sitting there chatting, a really nice couple started up a conversation with us.&#160; What was supposed to be a 45 minute coffee turned into a 2 hour visit with a new set of friends!&#160; It was wonderful.&#160; He’s a “realist” like my hubby, and she’s a “polly-anna” like me.</p>
<p>We knew that moving to the new community was the next chapter in our lives, and we both have been missing our friends “back home”.&#160; (Yesterday-Thinking)&#160; We both knew, though, that we made our life in Claresholm as wonderful as it was, so it was up to us to make our lives here wonderful too.&#160; (Tomorrow-Thinking)</p>
<p>Today, we really started moving in that direction.&#160; It’s amazing how things start to happen once you make the decision.&#160; I love meeting new people.&#160; We’ll probably see them tomorrow at coffee too!</p>
<p>Makes me think.&#160; If Yesterday-Thinking helps to create positive and valuable Tomorrow-Thinking, that’s a good thing!&#160; Using them as a tool, rather than trying to live in them is worth it.</p>
<p>I can really get of on tangents!&#160; Marriage to Yesterday to Tomorrow to Today to Coffee!</p>
<p>That’s OK.&#160; I’m really a Bite Thinker.&#160; Inspirations come to me in bites a lot of the time.&#160; I find it easier that way.&#160; I can chew on them, savour them, appreciate them, and if they feel right, own them.</p>
<p>That’s really what <a href="http://JuicyBites.com" target="_blank">Juicy Bites of Welcome Changes</a> is all about too.&#160; It’s full of bite-size awarenesses, lessons, inspirations (whatever you want to call them).&#160; The official sub-title is “Create Balance and Joy Through Change One Bite at a Time”.</p>
<p>There are 80 Bites, all nutritionally balanced to nurture your mind, body, spirit and emotions.</p>
<p>It’s not a book you have to read from cover to cover (but if you want to that’s OK).&#160; It’s not a book you print out either.&#160; That I definitely recommend.&#160; You open it up, scan the table of contents, and when one of the Bites jumps out at you, you click it, and then read it.&#160; It takes just 5 minutes (or less).&#160; </p>
<p>Are you playing with beliefs?&#160; What about goals, or visioning?&#160; Perhaps it’s forgiveness or trusting your intuition?&#160; There are bites for each of these and more.</p>
<p>Have you noticed something about the tools I have created?&#160; They’re all quick and simple!&#160; I believe simplicity is valuable.&#160; I also believe that quick is too!&#160; I knew that if it takes too long I won’t do it.&#160; Life gets busy!</p>
<p>I think I’m not only the Queen of JOY, but I’m the Queen of 5 Minute Tools too!</p>
<p>All these 5 minutes tools are what got me here…to 10 years of marriage.&#160; All the challenges we went through created the marriage I’m appreciating today.&#160; And, I’m appreciating these tools that also helped make it happen.&#160; </p>
<p>Maybe, just maybe, these 5 minute tools can support you too.&#160; Whatever it is you’re playing with right now.</p>
<p><a href="http://joy-journal.com" target="_blank">http://joy-journal.com</a> </p>
<p><a href="http://juicybites.com">http://juicybites.com</a> </p>
<p>And don’t forget to use the Coupon Code ANNIVERSARY to get $10 off of each of these.&#160; If you want $10 off of both, you’ll just have to make each purchase separately.</p>
<p>I’m off to have a wonderful lunch with my hubby.&#160; We deserve it!&#160; </p>
<p>Dream BIG(GER)!</p>
<p>Velma Gallant   <br />The Queen of JOY!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I mentioned yesterday that tomorrow my hubby and I will be celebrating our 10th Anniversary.&#160; I also mentioned that the 10 years of wedded bliss weren’t exactly blissful all the time!&#160; Sometimes, Life gets in the way of these things.&#160; <img src='http://www.velmagallant.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' title="When Life Gets in the Way" /> </p>
<p>Life got in the way a number of times.&#160; Some I’ve shared with you.&#160; Some I haven’t.&#160; I have shared on <a href="http://joy-journal.com">http://joy-journal.com</a> that my <a href="http://joy-journal.com" target="_blank">JOY Journal</a> was born out of one of those less than blissful moments.&#160; My husband had to quit his secure job to take over a business that he was a silent partner in.&#160; It really was a sink or swim situation.&#160; We were at risk of loosing our house, which was a frightening prospect!&#160; So many emotions were coursing through my body on that one!&#160; </p>
<p>Our son was 3, and I HAD to keep a roof over his head.&#160; You know…Mama Bear emotions.&#160; Then there was embarrassment and shame.&#160; If we lost our house, what would people think?&#160; There was anger.&#160; How did we end up in THIS situation?&#160; We’re good people!&#160; More embarrassment and shame.&#160; I teach about Law of Attraction.&#160; How did I attract this?!?</p>
<p>Yes, I attracted the experience.&#160; There were other intentions this experience was going to serve.</p>
<p>I wanted to strengthen my marriage, especially in the area of communication.&#160; It did that.&#160; My husband may have had a secure job, but he wasn’t happy.&#160; He couldn’t leave because of his strong sense of duty to his family. He ended up having to leave because of that same strong sense of duty.</p>
<p>I received the “Joy Journal” process, which not only changed my life, but has been changing the lives of my clients.&#160; In just 4 months, the stressful creditor calls turned into a call celebrating everything paid up to date.&#160; The zero income turned into a full-time paycheque.&#160; </p>
<p>No matter what is going on, it’s your focus and your emotions that are creating your tomorrow.&#160; If you want to change that, you will want to manage your focus and your emotions today.&#160; The <a href="http://joy-journal.com" target="_blank">Joy Journal</a> will do just that.</p>
<p>I hope you join me in celebrating our 10th Anniversary with this gift.</p>
<p>Until September 22 you can have $10 off the purchase of the JOY Journal simply by entering this Coupon Code:&#160; ANNIVERSARY.&#160; Visit <a href="http://joy-journal.com">http://joy-</a><a href="http://joy-journal.com" target="_blank">journal</a>.com today.</p>
<p>Warmly,</p>
<p>Velma Gallant   <br />The Queen of JOY!</p>
<p>PS ~ The Coupon Code also will give you $10 off of <a href="http://JuicyBites.com" target="_blank">Juicy Bites of Welcome Changes</a>, which can be found at <a href="http://juicybites.com">http://juicybites.com</a>.&#160; </p>
<p>PPS ~ If you purchase them each separately, you can have a total savings of $20!&#160; The coupon will work twice!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In just 2 days I&#8217;ll be celebrating 10 years of wedded bliss!</p>
<p>September 17th is the day!&#160; </p>
<p>I can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s 10 years!&#160; In some ways it feels like it has gone by so fast.&#160; In others, it feels like it&#8217;s been like this always.&#160; </p>
<p>Has it been smooth the whole way?&#160; Nope!</p>
<p>Would I change a thing?&#160; Nope!</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve been through a lot together, and made it!&#160; </p>
<p>Anyway&#8230;I could get into some stories about that, but I&#8217;m not going to.&#160; </p>
<p>It hasn&#8217;t been a smoothly paved road for us, but you know what?&#160; It&#8217;s those unpaved roads that have the best scenery.&#160; <img src='http://www.velmagallant.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' title="I&rsquo;m Celebrating!" /> </p>
<p>To celebrate 10 years of wedded bliss, I&#8217;m giving you a gift.&#160; Well&#8230;it&#8217;s a gift if you want to receive it.&#160; That&#8217;s totally up to you!</p>
<p>You can have $10 off Juicy Bites of Welcome Changes, or $10 off JOY Journal Audio Program.&#160; It&#8217;s up to you.</p>
<p><a href="http://juicybites.com">http://juicybites.com</a></p>
<p><a href="http://joy-journal.com">http://joy-journal.com</a></p>
<p>And if you&#8217;re really sneaky, you could get $10 off of each, but only if you process each purchase separately.&#160; LOL</p>
<p>I&#8217;m really proud of us.&#160; It seems these days it&#8217;s a feat to make it past 2 or 3 years of marriage, and we&#8217;ve made it to 10.&#160; But then again&#8230;we plurked at it.&#160; (Remember&#8230;play+work=plurk.&#160; It can&#8217;t be just work in a marriage!)</p>
<p>OH!&#160; I almost forgot the coupon code!&#160; It&#8217;s really quite original&#8230;NOT!</p>
<p>Coupon Code:&#160; ANNIVERSARY</p>
<p>That will give you $10 off either Juicy Bites of Welcome Changes Ebook, or $10 off the JOY Journal Audio Program.</p>
<p>This coupon is only good for one week, so don&#8217;t miss out!</p>
<p>Warmly,</p>
<p>Velma</p>
