WOW! The Experience

Greetings!

It’s with great pleasure I welcome you into the Stylish Attitudes family and the network of Empowerment Zone Associates. We’ve been working night and day, trying to keep up with you, your interest and the great opportunities that are before us. I want to invite you to remain active in community activities, by keeping up and keeping pace through your personal e-biz page.

Your e-biz page is a high-impact, high-value instrument and central to keeping us connected to our community updates and news as we go and grow forward. I’ll also be sharing tips and strategies on how to grow your businesses and other great resources. Any ideas or suggestions of interest, let me know.

Remember to share your e-biz card with others. Either for personal or professional use, it’s one of the most powerful and dynamic business cards on the internet! So, don’t be shy! It’s still one of the most effective high impact things we can do to grow our businesses and share with others information about our products and services.

UPCOMING EVENTS

June 28, 2008 – Ontario, California – Signature Empowerment Luncheon Event

We’re looking forward to meeting many of you at the June 28th luncheon event. Those of you who live out of area have been wonderful to refer the site’s links to friends and family members that do. Knowledge is power! And as friends looking out for each other, sharing the information with each other, I’m not only moved and inspired, but that makes you POWER BROKERS! Thank you so much for your commitment to each other and to the success of the event.

Many of you have inquired about bringing the event to your cities and communities. We hear you and are thrilled to know the interest! Prior to the launch of the luncheon series, we planned for success, wrote it down, included it in our business plan and projections, but in the spirit of my southern sisters, “yaw’ll are wearing me out!” Now, that’s by no means a complaint. Keep the interest letters and e-mails coming. We’re going to work this out!

Our member services coordinator is working ‘the adjustments’. You’ll be hearing from us shortly to facilitate the interest for your home town communities and organizations interested in hosting an event. “Chicago” you’re on the radar!” We’ll continue to keep you posted. Just watch the site’s event calendar for specifics as we take this awesome program across the country! Those of you also interested in being Community Coordinators . . next item . . .. . .

July 21-25 2008 – Sedona, Arizona- Entrepreneur’s Summit And Wellness Retreat

This event is slated to be the first annual entrepreneur’s summit and wellness retreat. Our workshop calendar is shaping up to include a great training boot-camp agenda for our emerging Empowerment Zone Associates interested in becoming Regional Community Coordinators. A great time for relaxation, but a serious time of getting our businesses in order is the focus. I told a reporter this week, “when the women come up on that mountain, they may bring a dream or idea for their business. When they leave, they’ll have crystallized it into a living, breathing, written document – a business plan, with measurable goals, projected outcomes, and systems of accountability . . . when I finish!”

To deliver on such a high standard and to create a meaningful experience both personally and professionally, registration seats are limited. Visit the registration link online and send us an e-mail if you’re interested in attending. We’ll respond back with the details and availability.

Some of you were asking if I’d be there during the event. Yes! I’m personally facilitating the sessions each day. And it’s been rumored that I would be wearing jeans and tennis shoes while I present – at this event, YES! For the professional presentation, I might and I stress MIGHT, dress the look up with pearls (although I seriously doubt it) It’s a time to really relax, strategize, engage, plan, encourage, laugh, cry, and cry and then laugh again!

I justify the attire, by modeling the first step in bringing awesome $1,000,000 ideas into reality – by being properly dressed for the occasion – COMFORTABLE. I don’t know about you, but I can’t be creative when I’m all bound up, worrying about my panty lines, bra straps, and my feet hurting, cause I didn’t use the good sense God gave me not to suffer standing in high-heels during my training sessions! Hey! I’m just keeping it real.

There will also be presenters to support the training experience to round things out. Either way, we’re going to have a great time. If you miss this event, the next window of opportunity is tentatively scheduled for July 2009.

SPOTLIGHT ON REGIONAL COMMUNITY COORDINATOR’S

Malori Lessey – California
Sandrea Tibbs – Alabama
Sue Battle-Arnold – Georgia

Let me take a moment to tell you about three very dynamic women. They personify WOW! and in their own rights, are movers and shakers! They rock and roll! They make things happen! I’ve known each of them for many years and it’s always a pleasure to be in their company. On a moment’s notice, they will meet me at the well. I’ve never claimed perfection; someone already walked that journey, but when I’m on my last atom of energy, connecting with these women, becomes a source of inspiration and encouragement for me. There’s nothing like having women in your circle who really know you ~ and can tell you about yourself – when and if you need to be told.

I love each of them dearly, and am always awestruck by the intensity with which they pursue excellence in their respective professional fields, attention to details and customer service. Not to mention they’re passion and love for their kids and family. Their personal stories and journeys are nothing less than inspirational. They have hearts of gold, and are women who are the embodiment of WOW!
They’ll be sharing more about themselves, what’s new in their communities, and success tips and strategies to help you start or grow your business. If you could see what I see them see, you’d only say, “WOW!” (read it again if you missed it).

Super stars in my circle, they’re major contributors to their communities. Their good deeds are too many to tell. In the months ahead as we spotlight events, I’ll share more. I can’t wait for you to meet them and have no doubt, you’ll be equally touched by these Champions of compassion and service and they’re effort in the momentum of our luncheon series, in their local communities. Committed to empowerment and change and members of the Empowerment Zone, they’re doing their part to fulfill the mission of connect, collaborate and grow.

Signing off for now.
Remember, “you are blessed and highly favored.”

Let’s make it a personal commitment and remember to refresh, and connect to the positive. Often that critical first step is found in the essence and simplicity of enriching and positive conversation. Lord knows, the headlines are stressful these days, but I find a sense of comfort by pausing every once in a while to remember to rise above the chaos into the thinking of God.

By that, I mean making it a priority to connect to my Source. By whatever name it is for you personally, it’s important to disconnect from the drama, reflect and reset. When things feel overwhelming or frustrating, shake those negative energies and thoughts. Put something positive into action. Here are a few WOW! Tips:

• Acknowledge “it is what it is” – and there are just some things about the times we – by ourselves can not change. ( …but together . . .! I’ll share my attitude about this in another blog)
• Commit to do something you can change – even if it’s to adjust YOUR ATTITUDE, your outlook and perspective. Commit to take action to counter the way the circumstance effects you. (For example: instead of fussing about the price of gas – I’m guilty of this too! Resolve to take the bus, commuter train, carpool or here’s a novel idea: WALK somewhere for a week. I promise it’s liberating!)

• Eat well and exercise – hate to sound like a broken record, but its true! Stress is subtle, deadly and makes your hair fall out. Eat a piece of fruit or drink an extra glass of water in the name of taking care of beautiful you. Besides, your stylist might not want to add to your stress by telling you about the bald spots that are developing.

• Yeah, I said that, “your Stylist”. I know good and well that even though there is a credit crisis and economic crunch, it’s amazing to me how the beauty salons are full each and every week – especially Saturday. I know. I see many of you there! Confess that thing, ‘cause the truth will set you free. And free you of some of that stress you’re carrying around about it. So my financial tip in this moment of confession is to create a personal budget, so the trips to the salon are not a source of guilt or stress; or you don’t have to feel bad about leaving teenie-weenie tips or not tipping your stylist for the wonderful pampering services they provide.

And then, my personal favorite: BE STILL– even if it means you have to find a quiet corner for a well deserved ‘time out’.

My sister’s my best-best friend, so her home and the beautiful busy-ness of home-cooked meals, family and little one’s is actually a restful retreat. One day during the process of designing, and project development , coordinating contracts, the event calendar, budget projections, yada, yada, yada, and trying to figure out why the HTML coding was effecting the algorithmic calculations of the universe (yeah! my point exactly!!) . . .. I hadn’t realized how my glazed over facial look, and suspension of all bodily movement had drawn an audience of two. I looked like Trinity in the Matrix, in that classic “aerodynamic-slow-motion-freeze-framed-suspended pose of super-girl-ninja-jujitsu-did it all by herself-action”!

My nephews are four and six. Although I promise the six year old is going on fifteen.

They were very perplexed when they stumbled into my moment of suspension - in the middle of the living-room. Studying me, they finally asked, “Auntie Dee what’s wrong?” I could only muster up a drooling: “Uhhhh, Auntie Dee is on a time out.” Their little eyes of curiosity turn to abandoned resolve and then they abandon me! I guess they figure, ‘Hey, if she – the grown up is on time out – whatever she did, we really don’t want to be in the area when this thing resumes!

WOW! You moms, with little toddlers, try that one when you’re desperate for a quiet moment to yourself. Let’s talk about that as a wellness strategy later.

In the Spirit of WOW!

Your Home. Your Wealth. YOU!
