Time for an update, Ladies!

It's been a while. The last time I stopped to send a juicy update was around Christmas time. While we still mysteriously keep getting sign ups for our Christmas Cookie Countdown, the season has definitely passed. Love is in the air now, and soon spring will follow.

Last weekend I went skating along a 10km river here in Quebec and it was magnificent. Thousands of people come every weekend just to skate outside, but last weekend was particularly special, because they had the North American Speed Skating Championships. I enrolled in the 10km race and was delighted when I was awarded the bronze medal. (I probably should mention the fact that I was third place out of three participants in my age category.) ;-)

It's so important to take the time to get outside and play, move, BE with life. I really appreciate every moment I get right now, as so much of my attention has been going into the preparation of WISH, which is now less than two short weeks away.

WISH: Women's International Summit for Health

Since the idea sprouted up in the cluttered recesses of my multi-tasking mind last year, I knew wish summit for womenthis was going to be something special. I have an ever-present ache within me. You probably have one, too. The kind of ache that drives you to do whatever you can to make the world a better place. Sounds lofty, but if you've got the same ache, you know what I mean.

Picking up the phone to have a heart-to-heart with Sheila Kelley, creator of the S-factor did something to me. Exchanging emails with Neale Donald Walsch and Marianne Williamson just made the world a smaller place. Instantly. After months of playing phone tag, Janet Attwood, co-author of The Passion Test, and I finally caught up for a conversation that left us both in tears.

When the people I'd always admired from a distance were now only 10 digits away, limitations flew off my life.

Keeping them off is another story.

I admit that applying the spiritual laws of success and empowering information is easier said than done when I look around my life and realize:

• the kids are fighting
• the laundry needs folding
• the floors need mopping
• the dishes need washing
• the door STILL needs fixing
• ...and...

*sniff*
"What's that smell?"
"Eeeeew! It's ME! I haven't had a bath yet, and it's 4:00 in the afternoon!"
I don't mean to be graphic, Lizzie, but that's what life for a multitasking, self-employed, slightly over-ambitious, single mother is like some days. While the details may differ slightly, chances are good you can probably relate to what I'm saying.

No amount of universal laws are going to fold your laundry, mop your floors or pick up the kids from school, but understanding these laws will certainly make getting these things done a whole lot easier. As long as you're always stuck in the muck of a day's work, you risk neglecting your own needs to grow, learn, expand and improve conditions in your life! If you want life to improve, if you want things to get easier, you're going to need to roll up your sleeves and prioritize yourself more often.

If you don't prioritize yourself, who will?

In every moment, you have an opportunity to create the life you want. You may not always have the answers or the solutions, but they're out there. It's your task to put aside enough time and commit to studying, learning, and applying the information you need to make your life what you want it to be—what you know it can be.

It starts by putting yourself on the to do list.
Starting on March 8, 2010 (International Women's Day) you'll be given the chance to put yourself on the to do list in a major way. 40 of the world's leading experts in health, fitness, food, sensuality and relationships will be coming together to be a part of WISH: Women's International Summit for Health.

40 of the world's most inspirational thought leaders have put their best information out there to support You and all women. For 10 days we'll be making these calls available for FREE to anyone who signs up.

Every day for 10 days we'll be focusing on a specific area of life; sensuality, money, relationships, family and health. There's no denying that when one area of your life is out of balance, everything else is affected by it.

WISH is giving you a remarkable opportunity for you to prioritize your health, your confidence and your life in a magnificent way. The laundry piles and dishes will still be there when WISH is over. But your chance to take part in this event, won't.

Join us in making this a most magnificent celebration of women there's ever been.

Love and girl-power,
Tera
