Greetings!

Happy New Year and Welcome to the "Excavating Your Life" Newsletter.  This month I am thinking about new beginnings, resolutions, goals and intentions. How do I achieve all that I want for 2008? 

I started with acknowledging my accomplishments for 2007 and having gratitude for the many blessings. I then created "Themes" for the year, the areas related to my values that I want more of and the compelling reasons why I want to expand in each of these areas of my life.  My themes of Peace, Prosperity and Passion are driving forces in my life to keep me on track for the more specific strategies I have created under each area. I also answered the following questions: 

  • What are my intentions for this goal? 
  • What will keep me going towards it, for the sake of what?
  • Who will I be accountable to? 
  • What am I letting go of in order to create space for the new?  

I invite you to answer these questions for yourself and create your own reality.  The decisions you make today will shape your tomorrow.

Books I Recommend:

My life love of reading and expanding myself has led me to create a wonderful tool for you - My Reading List. The following books are excellent choices for the new year.

12 Secrets of Highly Creative Women: A Portable Mentor by Gail McMeekin. This book is a portable mentor with inspiring stories and usable tools from some of today's most successful and dynamic women who have embraced their creativity.

The Power of Intention by Dr. Wayne Dyer.
The best book I have read on co-creating your world through your thoughts and actions.  It is a must read!

See my full Excavive Reading List for even more ideas.


Excavive Client Success:

"Before I began working with Jennifer, I was a non-practicing artist. Not only had I given up painting watercolors and illustrating, I wasn't even working in my visual journal or doodling. I was frustrated and unsure if art was the path for me. Not even a month after seeing Jennifer, I completed my unfinished painting. And, I haven't stopped creating ever since. Jennifer has helped me refocus my art career, but to fine-tune others areas of my life!  I whole-heartedly recommend her! Jennifer truly wants you to be your best self!

My partnership with Louisville's Underwired Magazine, for chic, forward thinking, creative women, is growing and I am excited about what we are creating.

In 2008 I will continue to write my monthly Evolve column (Soulful Dieting in the January Low Fat issue, read it here) providing life coaching "tips" and "Jennifer Blair-isms," for expanding your thinking, your happiness and hopefully your success in all parts of your life. And I have created a new ad campaign-look for my ad across from my monthly column.

I am also happy to announce the Wired and Inspired speaker series for 2008. I will be presenting 4 interactive fun presentations on the topics of inspiration, abundance, passion and authenticity. See the flier for more details. Bring a friend and enjoy a "Girls Night Out."
