Where has the year gone? Thanksgiving is less than
two weeks away and that means 2007 will be here
soon. Are you starting to think about new goals?
Setting goals can be good. Some goals can
be "big" and take a year or more to complete, while
others are just ways to structure our days and
prioritize our time, but always try to have clear
goals.
At the same time goal-setting has a
built-in flaw. Any time we set a goal, we are
saying "some day things will be better." Goals sort of
imply that things are not the way they "should be".
The reality is that life is always perfect just as it is.
It unfolds. It's lived. It happens, and we can either
complain about it or find joy in every moment of this
wonderful trip.
So stop preparing and start
living! Don't spend so much time preparing
and "getting ready" that you never do anything. Life
is to be lived, and opportunities are to be grasped
and pursued with passion. But goals are also the
previews of life's coming attractions. Take time to
write down clear and ambitious goals. Goals are good.
Living is better.
One of my goals is to
change my attitude and give you contact information
about each speaker. That way, if you are not able
to attend a luncheon but are interested in the
speaker, you can easily contact her. I've been a
little reluctant to do that, but the whole point of Soul
Food is women helping women.
Soul Food will
be taking a break over the holidays and will resume in
January. Look for a new schedule coming out the
end of December or beginning of
January.
Wishing each one of you Grace and
Peace this Holiday Season.

"Emotional Wisdom and the Four Personalities" with Debra Silverman.
Why did I do that?
At our last Soul Food luncheon, Debra Silverman
explained personality types as the four elements;
water, air, earth and fire. I never looked at
personality that way, but it was easy to identify
myself and family members.
Water people are
healers and compassionate. They tend to be quite,
creative, psychic and a good judge of character.
Water people are also very senstive in their bodies
and will often talk about a " gut reaction".
Air personalities will keep your life very
interesting. They love to talk and ask a lot of
questions. They want the facts and only the facts
as quickly as possible because they get bored easily.
They are smart, have a great sense of humor but
organization is not their "thing".
Earth people
keep the world on track. They are productive,
steady, practical, reliable and love to save money.
But they are also very self-critical and are
perfectionists.
And where would we be
without the fire people? They are full of life and
passion and are very loyal. They are honest and
speak from the heart. Because they are impulsive
the tend to start things and not finish them and are
arguementative. They need to move the energy in
their bodies and often don't know when they are
tired.
Generally one or two personality types
will dominate. The point is to understand and
cultivate the others in yourself to provide more
stength and balance.
If you would like more
information, Debra has a wonderful 2-disc CD entitled
Emotional Wisdom. You can contact Debra via e-mail
