I hope you know The One who is the real meaning of Christmas.  If not, then that is the most important preparation you can make.  Forget the commercial aspect of Christmas if you don’t have a relationship with Jesus.  Contact me if you would like to find out more.

Having said that I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!  This is a special one for us since we have a three year old in the house.  We do believe in Santa Claus around here!

We’ve had a magical couple of days since I have taken vacation days to supplement the regular holiday days off.  Amy, Savannah and I have just enjoyed each other’s company along with some shopping, baking cookies and wrapping gifts.  Savannah is VERY aware of how Christmas “works” now.  Her favorite movie is Elf with Will Ferrell.  I think she watched at least most of it three times yesterday.  I’m a little bit tired of it but there are a couple of scenes that are funny. . .I don’t care who you are!

I have big plans for the rest of my time off.  Planning for 2007 is high on my list.  I’m happy but not thrilled with my personal growth in 2006.  Considering I didn’t HAVE a personal growth plan this time last year I guess I can’t complain.

All the best from our family to yours!

P.S. Don’t forget to start 2007 with a plan.

The best way to “think it” is to “ink it”! Since becoming a student of learning and personal improvement I have discovered that it is vital to capture ideas on paper or electronically for later evaluation and use.

As part of a Dave Lakhani coaching group I learned about Mind Mapping software by a company called MindJet. Dave is a “rabid fan” and although I’ve only recently tried the software I can say that it is awesome!

I just learned about a webinar that Dave is doing for MindJet. Here are the details:

The webinar is called “Use The Power of an Hour & MindManager to Map 2007 Goals” and will show people how they can become more focused, and efficient in achieving business and personal goals by investing just one productive hour per day.

Dave plans to talk about his powerful formula for maximizing every hour, show people how to create what he calls “Fearsome Focus®” to maximize “personal effectiveness, help others identify and control once and for all the distractions that keep them from reaching their goals and create a “Master Life Vision Map.”

Here are the details, if you’re interested in attending:

Wednesday, December 13th
1:00- 2:00pm Pacific Standard Time
