Squeeze…Nudge…Push…Notice…Feel…Observe…Move…

Course Adjustments. We get them all the time, but they don’t always look or feel the way we want them too.

Sometimes it’s so uncomfortable we have no choice but to move. We get squeezed from here over to there.

Where we are becomes so uncomfortable that the fear of moving became the better option. Funny how that works.

It is like Divine is saying, “I know you’re afraid. I understand. I also know that you know in your heart of hearts that it’s time to move. I’m going to help you. I’m going to make it so that where you’re going feels better. It’ll be easy for you. I promise. All I’m going to do is make where you are feel more uncomfortable than where you are going. There. Does that feel better? See! Doesn’t it feel better now that you’re moving? Glad to help.”

Is where you are getting extremely uncomfortable? I’ll bet there’s somewhere you’ve been avoiding going to.

Want to feel better? Take a step in the direction of that place you’ve been avoiding. You’ll start to feel better. Really. That’s just the Universe helping you along, letting you know it’s time to move.

Easter Break, New Beginnings and Decisions

Velma Gallant — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 18:40:00 +0000

Easter Break is coming. We received the notice in our son’s backpack. Six days off, plus off early on Thursday. He’s tickled.

He’s looking forward to the Easter Bunny coming too. He doesn’t get a lot of candy, and he’s OK with that. When the Easter Bunny comes to our house, he hides plastic eggs with change in them. He’s hoping for lots of Loonies! (For those of you who don’t know, that’s the Canadian $1 coin.) He has such fun, and so do I watching him zip around the house looking for the plastic eggs.

Easter also seems to make Spring official. Daffodils are at the flower shops, and maybe even peaking up in some gardens too. (I don’t have any, but I’m looking for signs that my transplanted rose bushes survived the Winter.)

Spring is all about New Beginnings too.

I’m ready for it!

I have made some decisions, and I’m ramping up to make some more decisions.

One decision I made was to ease up on the Welcome Changes Radio schedule for the summer. There will be no shows for the last week of July and the last two weeks of August. I felt this would be much more kind to me than trying to pre-record shows, which would require me essentially doing two shows in one week, just to have one pre-recorded show. That’s a lot of work! Besides, if I’m not kind to me, how can I expect anyone else to be kind to me? I have to set a good example.

I made a decision to launch a group coaching program in May called “Joy Made Easy…and Fast!” which will be a six month program, limited to 8 individuals. If there is enough of a response, I’ll create two separate classes.

I also made a decision to close the doors on “Joy Made Easy” Community Coaching. The program didn’t work out as I had hoped. This is okay with me. I received a lot of clarity from this experience.

I’m flirting with some other decisions, including researching fermented foods, and possibly incorporating more raw food into my diet.

Anyway, enough about me and my decisions.

The question is, are you ready to make some decisions?

Have you already made some decisions?

Are you flirting with some decisions?

If you are flirting with decisions this may be of value for you. I’ve created an Easter Break Special with two of my favourite products. Juicy Bites of Welcome Changes, and JOY Journal Audio Program. I’ve reduced their prices both down to $19. That’s an $8 savings on the ebook, and $14 on the audio program. The special is ONLY available here: http://welcomechanges.com/easter-break.

This special is only available as long as that page is live, which will be until April 16th.

Remember, don’t go to Juicy Bites of Welcome Changes or JOY Journal Audio Program. If you go there, you’ll be paying full price.

Go to http://welcomechanges.com/easter-break and you’ll get the special price of $19 each.

Now, I must look for some elbow, knee and wrist pads so I can learn how to Rollerblade. That’s another one of my decisions.

Have a FANTASTIC day, and a Fabulous Easter!

I got SPRING FEVER!

I’m Celebrating!

Velma Gallant — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 03:01:13 +0000

In just 2 days I’ll be celebrating 10 years of wedded bliss!

September 17th is the day!

I can’t believe it’s 10 years! In some ways it feels like it has gone by so fast. In others, it feels like it’s been like this always.

Has it been smooth the whole way? Nope!

Would I change a thing? Nope!

We’ve been through a lot together, and made it!

Anyway…I could get into some stories about that, but I’m not going to.

It hasn’t been a smoothly paved road for us, but you know what? It’s those unpaved roads that have the best scenery.

To celebrate 10 years of wedded bliss, I’m giving you a gift. Well…it’s a gift if you want to receive it. That’s totally up to you!

You can have $10 off Juicy Bites of Welcome Changes, or $10 off JOY Journal Audio Program. It’s up to you.

http://juicybites.com

http://joy-journal.com

And if you’re really sneaky, you could get $10 off of each, but only if you process each purchase separately. LOL

I’m really proud of us. It seems these days it’s a feat to make it past 2 or 3 years of marriage, and we’ve made it to 10. But then again…we plurked at it. (Remember…play+work=plurk. It can’t be just work in a marriage!)

OH! I almost forgot the coupon code! It’s really quite original…NOT!

Coupon Code: ANNIVERSARY

That will give you $10 off either Juicy Bites of Welcome Changes Ebook, or $10 off the JOY Journal Audio Program.

This coupon is only good for one week, so don’t miss out!

Warmly,

Velma

The More Fun You Have…The More Fun You Have!

Velma Gallant — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 21:11:30 +0000

I’ve noticed this a lot around the web, and within my own life.

It’s way too easy to get caught up in over-thinking projects.

“Am I doing it right?”

“Am I missing something?”

“What’s the right way?”

The problem with this is it takes ALL the FUN out of it!

When did we stop having fun? Honestly, the minute we really started thinking.

When we were kids, it was all about the fun. When we “grew up”, we left our hearts and promptly began living from our heads.

I truly wonder what would happen if we went back to the fun?

Would we start living more Authentically?

Would our stress levels drop?

Would our relationships improve (with ourselves and others)?

Would our health improve?

YES on all levels!

The minute I stopped Working and started Plurking (play+work=plurk) all of the above happened.

Do I still catch myself heading up on into the brain? Yup!

How do I cure that?

If I can’t find a way to have fun in my project, I put it down for a sec and head on out to do something fun.

Sometimes it’s playing on Twitter. Sometimes it’s calling a friend. Sometimes it’s watching a funny movie.

When the going gets tough…Go Play!

Play play play…it’s all a game anyway.

Dream BIG!

Life is Good

Velma Gallant — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 17:39:14 +0000

Last night was the “Old Fashioned Christmas” festivities here in town. They light the Christmas Tree downtown. There was a bonfire. We went on the Wagon Ride around town. Those Clydesdale Horses are HUGE! There was Beef on a Bun. The boys really enjoyed that. It’s a good way to raise funds for the town’s parks. Christmas Music was playing loud enough you could here it no matter where you were downtown. (It’s a small downtown.

All the stores were open late, and everyone had treats, and some kind of draw to enter your name into. There were sales on. I went back out after to do some shopping.

It was an evening of complete Joy! My husband and I sat down after the evening, and looked back not only over the evening, but over the past four years. 4 years ago our life was upside down, and we could not see how we were ever going to get out of the situation we were in.

4 years later, our lives have taken a 540 degree flip. (Yeah…it feels like we’ve flipped over a few times.) We are in a small community filled with kind people. We love our home. Plurk is full of joy and satisfaction. Our son is thriving in the school he’s in. Our health is fantastic. We have great friends. As I write this I feel so overwhelmed with gratitude for all the Universe has brought me.

Ahhhhh….Life is Good.

It’s funny. When we first moved here, one of the people we met always said that. He still says it. “Life is Good.” Now I’m saying it! Guess it’s contagious.
