Review, Reflect & Receive
by Kristina Leonardi

   

When I started this newsletter in January 2010, I wasn't really sure what I was doing or how it would develop, but four years and more than 125 original essay/posts later I continue to find my voice, observe common themes and muse upon life's lessons, sharing what I know to be true in a unique and entertaining way. This is my art, and one of my gifts to the world - who knew?     

 

I am not one of those quick, effortless writers or fancy wordsmiths. I am moderately dyslexic. I barely read books. But I do have something to say - so these little 500-700 word essays take me on average 8+ hours each to write and edit (as best I can!). They are a creative labor of love. 

 

Between my clients, friends, family and own personal journey, along with paying attention to the planets and current events, I gain a special birds-eye view and insight into many lives (and want to assure you you are not alone in having gone through a lot of inner and outer 'stuff' in 2013!).  Through my weekly PGG's I connect the dots and try to articulate and illuminate what we're all experiencing to make your days a little better and brighter.

 

I am grateful to have this vehicle to express my thoughts, and am honored that they are read by so many of you. As we come to the end of the year, as part of my own reflection, I wanted to ask: 

 

Do you look forward to getting PGG every week?  Has a PGG inspired or motivated you to do something positive, gain a different perspective or improve your life in some way?

 

Regardless of how many you've read, if you feel you have benefited from my writing at all I am kindly requesting your feedback and support, so here are 3 easy ways to show your appreciation and share the love for PGG:  

 

1.  Send a "PGG Present" via PayPal to kristina.leonardi@gmail.com     

Think of it as a monthly/annual subscription, tip in the tip jar, or simply a holiday/thank you gift - any amount is valuable :) 

 

2.  Share PGG by LIKING PGG's Page on Facebook Like us on Facebook AND then tell all of your friends to 'Like' it, too - maybe by sharing a favorite post or quote from one of them, AND/OR encourage them to sign-up to be on my mailing list by going to the Contact Page of my website.  

(Ditto for my TwitterPage! Follow us on Twitter Please follow and Retweet often :)  

 

3.  Use or recommend my coaching and/or speaking services

  If you like what I write, you'll love what I have to say in person, either one on one or in front of your company, organization or group!
         

Of course your comments and suggestions throughout the year are always welcome and mean the world to me, but any one of these actions would let me know that I should continue writing on a regular basis as we move into 2014; it would demonstrate how much of an impact I'm having, and allow me to receive your gratitude and enthusiasm for my work in a more tangible way.

 

THANK YOU for your support and feedback, however you choose to express it!

 Wishing You  a Joyful Holiday Season and a New Year filled with Peace, Prosperity, Love & Magic!

She has a laid-back approach, but don't let that fool anyone. Her ability to read people is amazing and her assessments of how a person can enrich their lives/careers are spot-on. After she asked me lots of questions, she was somehow able to give me an assessment that was frighteningly accurate and illuminating.
