Synergy Success E-Zine, June 2014
"Phenomenal woman, That's me." ~Maya Angelou

Greetings!
Greetings to YOU and a Warm Welcome to our new Subscribers!
As busy women on a quest to create balanced success, we know the importance of surrounding ourselves with inspiring people and motivational messages. The quotes and sayings from Maya Angelou, a confident and generous woman who devoted her life to encouraging other women, have deeply influenced my personal and professional philosophies.
When the following quote graced my path, it quickly became a favorite, and reflects a resilient philosophy I strive to live by: "My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style" - Maya Angelou
She also said, "When you learn, teach; when you get, give!" and that "teaching others allows us to become better versions of ourselves." I believe our struggles are uniquely designed to help us find our gifts and talents, and that we are supposed to use them wisely and well by sharing them courageously without hesitation. Yes, I do believe we teach best what we are here to learn ourselves.
Imagine having the unshakeable calm and fierce spirit that Maya moved through life with. It wasn't in spite of her struggles, but because of them, that she discovered her brilliance. She created a legacy of love by choosing to offer her experiences to lift spirits and support others instead of allowing shame to crush her.
In reflecting back, I see how circumstances, people, and events helped shape who I've become. It's why I am so passionate about living a restorative lifestyle. It's why I love to inspire, motivate, share practical tips for working smart, playing hard, and resting well to bypass burnout.
I'm curious...how have your past challenges helped you find your purpose? And what teachers have influenced the beliefs you hold and values you try to live by?
Maya was an amazing woman. And her legacy can live on within US - the very women she has helped to nurture. What do you say we take the lessons we've learned from the places we've been, and use them for good...to help other awesome women move confidently forward?

SYNERGY SUCCESS STORY!
Elizabeth Neff
"My life with Christina is one crazy journey! There are
joys, tears, promises, challenges, and lots of "just from the gut" laughs that make me feel so loved, protected, and cherished."
I had known Christina from past associations and was pleasantly surprised to see her as the featured speaker at a morning breakfast sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce. The simple and sincere talk that Christina delivered that morning was based on the ability to find genuine purpose and meaning for your life. This particular morning was one of those "Life Changing Moments" for me that everyone reads about. I contacted her very shortly after that and we started our journey.
From our first session (which lead to my attending the Monthly Success Circle lunches), to the present, Christina has been my friend, my counselor, my guide, my sounding board, my confessor, and the very best friend a person could ask for. She leads, inspires, drives, loves, and is always there with a morning affirmation, to a text message with some link to a problem solution, or to an email which is timely and informational.
She has the ability to listen and understand all of the things that you are unable to vocalize and some things you didn't even know you felt. Her listening skills are wholehearted and you are able get across to her what your innermost desires, wishes, and needs are. Her teaching skills are heartfelt as well and she has that ability to make the most challenging task seem possible and doable. And with my continuing to meet with Christina for sessions, she is able to reinforce and to help maintain my focus and drive when things are overwhelming.
I have become a better person from my association with Christina and being a part of the synergy success circle. I am being challenged every day to stay the course, and to be the best possible person that I can be. I am grateful for all Christina has done and is doing, and for the knowledge that she is always there for each of us.
