SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

2) Mastermind and support groups. These groups require an on-going committment. You may need to optimize your highest listening and communication skills. They are an on-going more time intensive investment. Unlike a 12 week class (which is also good for networking) you may not be able to hide as easily.

These groups offer many benefits and take a variety of forms. I will expand on these ideas at a future date. The matermind group ideally will be comprised with at least one person with more experience than yourself, and others focused on similar tasks at you are. Everyone will be somewhat task oriented and homework: project assignments are a must. Thus each week everyone will be accountable for reporting back on progress.

Everyone won’t necessarily succeed every week, but everyone will create habits that move them along clearly, and hopefully tangibly toward their project completion.

Support groups usally function quite differently. THey may include a mix group of people from many fields. They may be more feeling oriented and concerned with your process. Be careful not to underate the power and what you will learn from these groups. The informal nature and personal committment to you may provide the comfort zone you need to approach many projects in your life. SOmeone there too may know the perfect person for you to professionally connect with. They may help you feel more confident so that you are ready to move ahead. They help you relieve stress or writing blocks.

Choos a group that is right for you. You don’t have to met every week, once a month may fit what everyone can do. Find multiple ways you can network and do them often. You will be glad you did.

This award-winning cookbook was brilliantly orchestrated by the Ravinia Festival Women’s Board as a way to raise money for music scholarships and the venerated music festival. This harmonious collection of more than 600 recipes is the result of three years of collecting, testing, tasting, collating, and indexing. These dishes stand the test of …

Since 1904, Ravinia has been Chicago’s “sound of summer,” a place where you can meet up with your friends, have a wonderful time and hear some of the greatest music in the world. We’ve got stars on the stage and stars in the sky, and it’s all within your reach. But there’s more to Ravinia than merely the world’s greatest music. For as many people who walk through Ravinia’s gate each summer, there are just as many ways to enjoy what we call “The Ravinia Experience.” For some, it all starts with a picnic picked up along the way, followed by a hop on the train and greeting your friends at your favorite spot on the lawn. Gradually, day turns into evening, and from the comfort of your perfect lawn spot, it culminates in a great concert by candlelight as you gaze at the stars above.

Book overview
Today we are experiencing extraordinary technological advances in the diagnosis and treatment of illness while at the same time learning to take more responsibility for our own health and well-being. In this book, Saki Santorelli, director of the nationally acclaimed Stress Reduction Clinic, explores the ancient roots of medicine, and shows us how to introduce mindfulness into the crucible of the healing relationship. His approach revolutionizes the dynamics between the patient and the practitioner. In describing the classes at the clinic and the transformation that takes place in this alchemical process, he offers insights and effective methods for cultivating mindfulness in our everyday lives. As he reveals the inner landscape of his own life as a health care professional and we join him and those with whom he works on this journey of human suffering and courage, we become aware of and honor what is darkest and brightest within each one of us.

His persistency, doing little tasks day after day has created a great business. His faith and self confidence adds to his productivity. Wherever you are in your writing career, these attributes also can build your foundation for success.

I love writing my blogs, because it creates my platform for keeping words flowing and the brain working. I could use more time to finish or start other creative projects. However, I believe each step I take moves me to my greater goals. Each post I publish affims the value of my work.

I could build on these ideas and create short books or guides. I may touch the heart or mind of a reader, and help that person begin their writing.
