Synergy Success E-Zine
October, 2011
"Sow a thought and you reap an action; sow an act
and you reap a habit; sow a habit and you reap a character;
sow a character and you reap a destiny."
~Ralph Waldo Emerson |
Greetings to YOU and a Warm Autumn Welcome to our new Subscribers! I'm so delighted you're now a member of our fast-growing community of high-achieving women who want to know how to work smarter, not harder, and move through your challenges with more confidence, grace and ease.
Leaves are falling in the crisp air, pumpkins are ripe and juicy orchard apples abound, leaving no doubt that a vibrant Harvest season is in full swing. With 2011 quickly flying by, I invite you to step out of the fast lane for just a minute to reflect on the results are you getting in your personal and professional life.
If you're frustrated at the gap between what you really want and the results you're getting, perhaps it's no accident you're reading this. I'm about to give you a huge golden nugget to help you begin closing that gap once and for all, because this is exactly where I was several years ago.
I was painfully aware of where I was, and knew what I wanted, yet was stuck trying to get there. This struggle was a gift in disguise, because it led me to a wise mentor who helped me see that the majority of my energy was invested in limiting feelings, thoughts, beliefs, and actions. Among many other things, she taught me how to "flip" negative thoughts into positive ones when under pressure, and to take full responsibility for what was showing up in my life. Thankfully, I'm now reaping the rewards of a life I love and a thriving private practice helping others do the same.
Please remember that you reap what you sow. Guard your thoughts closely, and shape them intentionally. "Be intentional. Every thought is a seed. If you plant crab apples, don't count on harvesting Golden Delicious."(-author Bill Meyer)
What you put into the lives of others comes back into your own. So what do you want more of? Is it Love, Understanding, Hope, Kindness? Whatever it is, I challenge you to generosly giving that to everyone around you today. (Yes, everyone, because those who are hardest to love always need it the most.)
See you next week at the Synergy Success Circle, at our hike on the 16th, or perhaps at Spa 122 on the 18th?
To a Healthy, Happy Harvest!

Synergy Success Story
Congratulations Phyllis Friesen!
Christina motivated me to re-examine how I care for myself and others, and how I respond to life as it happens. She listens so well and gently guided me in navigating the challenge of maintaining balance in both my personal and professional life. She has helped me to step back from hurdles that were overwhelming to me, take a deep breath, and thoughtfully consider appropriate responses. Recognizing when I stray into the Panic or Comfort Zone has also been a tool that gives me the ability to set boundaries for myself, and how I view unpleasant situations, both past and present, as well as visualizing positive future scenarios!
She helped me to feel empowered to remember to be my Self, resulting in increased confidence no matter where I am or what I'm doing. As I consider the areas in my life where I spend my energy, I'm able to see what I'd like to change. This is an ongoing process, and Christina encourages me to remember I have the power and ability to decide where I will spend my energy. It is very freeing! I love being in the Learning Zone! Even though it's often challenging it's the best place to be, and I now know how to be there!
"Thank you, Christina, for your care,
for your availability, and for your encouragement. Most of all thank you for being a living example of living life to the fullest despite setbacks, disappointment, and imperfection, and choosing to focus on being positive and grateful!"
