Editor’s Scribbles
Wow, is it April already? How time flies when you’re busy, busy. Working at home, I can be busy yet available to my kids. And they tell me how much they love having me around to cook their favorite food, study with them, and just hang out and do crazy stuff together sometimes. How cool is that?
It’s true, with all this rushing about, things tend to become a blur because we just don’t have the time to stop and appreciate the people who mean the most to us. Which really is a shame because we take everything and everyone so much for granted these days. As always, we’re here to inspire you on how to fix that right now. Read on...
When you’re done reading this issue, go out there, hug someone you love and tell them how much you appreciate having them around. Forward them a copy of this ezine to keep them inspired as they go about their busy lives. They’ll appreciate you for it.
Have a great weekend. Ciao for now

Modern Living The One Thing You Really Want by Neil Millar There is one thing you want... My guess is you want it so badly that you crave it - hunger it. And if you got it, your whole life would light up like the sky during a firework display. The thing is you don’t actually know you want it - well you do, but you won’t know it until you’ve got it, and until you get it, you’ll just notice a great big void in your life. I’ll explain. One thing we all love, above almost anything else, is the admiration and appreciation of our parents, partners and peers. To do something and be told, ‘well done” or ‘I’m proud of you’ or ‘I respect you for making such a great effort’ just means so much. But how do you get it? Easy... give it. Giving what you want often gets you what you want. Below I’m going to retell a story one of my clients told me after a coaching session on giving appreciation. “Each in turn, five of us, we all said what we thought, really speaking out from the heart. I looked at my Mum, the person getting all the attention, sitting two seats away from me at the dining table, tears welling up in her eyes and chin quivering slightly. I realised then that it had been too long since she’s heard a decent, heart-felt compliment. ‘I appreciate the way you put yourself out,’ I said. ‘I appreciate how you always make me feel welcome,’ my fiancée said. ‘I appreciate the way you’re always there,’ my dad said. And then it was the turn of her grandchildren. Her ten year-old Grandson said, ‘I appreciate your sandwiches’ and her four year-old Granddaughter chirped up. ‘I appreciate your hair.’ From that day on we decided to have an appreciation session on every birthday, every Father’s Day and Mother’s Day too. And I have to say these events really have taken on a new and more special meaning. On my birthday I couldn’t wait to hear all the nice things people thought of me. And silly as this may sound I’d have rather had their compliments than the presents - though the presents were really nice too! But here is something I’ve discovered that is really powerful. Compliments are like fairy dust - magic!” What a great story. Sprinkle that fairy dust on your travels and watch the magic in your world. People smile at you, people compliment you back. Some look at you, bewildered: the grumpy cashier at the bank and the family member that might not have compliments gets complimented. ----- About the author: Neil Millar is the author of Black Water, the adventure novel with personal growth, and the personal development books Greater Steps to Happiness and Be the Hero in your Own Life.

Offpeak Hours Release Some Tension...Spend Some Time in Your Garden By Mike Yeager Gardening can be one of the most rewarding and relaxing hobbies that you can engage in. Picture a beautiful spring day, the sweet smell of grass in the air and you get to go out and work the soil and prepare your garden. One of the fascinating things about gardening is that you can start with a small seed and grow anything you want. Whether you’re interested in gardening to grow flowers and plants or fruit and vegetables, every gardener knows the excitement and satisfaction of seeing their work and effort pay off with a beautiful harvest. Not only are you producing nature’s products for yourself but from mid-summer through winter, dozens of plants share their berries with wild creatures, which in turn, helps wildlife build fat storage for winter survival. Have you every seen an attractive garden and over in the corner there’s statue of a gnome? Well, according to legend, house and garden gnomes help with chores around the home, like sweeping the floor or planting. This is the reason many statues of gnomes hold hammers, axes or shovels, or are pushing wheelbarrows. Find out more about these delightful garden creatures. Whether you’re interested in flowers and shrubs or organic gardening, you’re sure to derive much relaxation and happiness from spending time in your own garden. ----- About the author: Mike Yeager, Publisher
