Emerging Our Transformation

After losing a job and my fiancé in 1997 I started a profound transformational journey. During the next seven years I made many mistakes, learned great lessons, and became more conscious than I knew possible. As a result, I launched the www.WomenInJoy.com community to support women in their life paths. Over the years many of you have been loyal subscribers and have helped grow this ezine to a beneficial communication tool. You've  shared the newsletters and various opportunities with your friends.  In 2006 we incorporated as Transform Today. I am so very grateful for your love, support and encouragement. My vision is to continue giving back to you so our relationship becomes very synergistic to further our mutual transformations.

The transformation of this newsletter is going to happen in stages. I will continue to focus this newsletter for women. The expansion of topics will now include ways to enrich your work life, business, body-mind connection, health and relationships. The design/layout will also continue to evolve.

For your transformation, I invite you to explore the two books I am sharing this month. Not only do I think these are great books, but you will also receive several bonuses (such as my Secrets to Lasting Body Transformation teleclass).

As we are in a transformation mode, look for our survey asking you how you would like this this newsletter to contribute to your life. In the mean time, I welcome your feedback, suggestions and questions.

In Joy,
Coach Laura
Love Deeply, Live Joyously. Create Magic in Your World!

Our topic this month is Being Supportive in Joy. Women tend to give a lot of support in every area of their lives. This can be wonderfully fulfilling and lead to much joy or it can be a draining activity that leads to resentment, disappointment and failed relationships. In this tele-gathering we will discuss

• The traits of supportive girlfriends who create joy.
• The top mistakes girlfriends make that will drain any relationship and how to avoid them.
• How to identify why you are so hurt and heal this hurt.

November's topic will be The Art of Receiving & Being Supported.

Have you ever had a friend go on and on about how to approach a personal situation? How did you feel afterwards? Most likely you felt drained, unsupported and more worked up about your situation than before. Well, maybe you're like me and you've been on both sides of that conversation. I admit it. Yes, I have done the unthinkable here. I was regretfully the cause of some rather uncomfortable feelings on the part of my dear friends.

The advice giving response is so automatic. You can relate right? A good friend comes to you and it seems like she wants your advice. She may even say the words, "what do you think," "what advice do you have," etc. So you dive right in. Well, I have learned over the years to tread very carefully here. I am nowhere near perfect. However, I am more aware than ever. And I have some really honest friends to thank for that.

What I realized is the underlying motivation for giving advice is to make myself  feel better about her situation. In other words, I was hoping that my advice would help her alleviate her pain so that I wouldn't have to be subject to it. Think about that this week the next time you're in conversation and you want to come to the rescue. Who's pain are you really trying to lessen? Giving advice in these cases is a selfish act.

During our virtual girl tele-gathering this month we will discus alternatives to advice giving. What does being supportive mean? How to be supportive and bring light and joy into your life and how to avoid the traps that will drain you and not help your friend.

This month appreciate your girlfriends and listen more than you talk and notice when you want to give advice. See if you can refrain from that. Join us on Oct 21st bring your stories and hear others. You're not alone. Come to our safe nest and nurture yourself by being a safe place to learn, open up and receive the gift of having conscious girlfriends.

Tell Good People About Good Things

I love to be a connector. Specifically, I love telling great people about great resources. Do you like hearing about great resources for your business, health and personal growth and interpersonal relationships? Well if so, it's a must that we stay connected because so do I and I have a passion for sharing the great resources that come my way especially if I know you're looking for something in particular.

I can't tell you the number of times people have called or emailed me asking for all sorts of resources. The most unique thing I was asked was if I knew any nannies. It just so happened, I did. Mind you I don't have children. However, I do love children and know lots of parents.

Being a resource just comes naturally and so each month I will share with you my recommended resources. If you have a specific resource you are in search of please email me. You might see it in the next ezine (especially if it's a free resource). If you have a resource we will have classified notes coming soon or visit the WomenInJoy Forum. Just email me of your interest. In the meantime, here are several web pages filled with all sorts of my favorite resources.
