Today I sent out my first business newsletter of the year. It's been an interesting year so far. We have already seen two of our customers close shop. It's challenging to see some of our friends and colleagues be hurt by this economic challenge.
For anyone that is in business for themselves or is thinking about it, this newsletter is loaded with helpful information for getting the most from the Internet.

One of my meditation teachers, Dr. Dharma Singh, told me this year, that you know you are on the right path when all of your 3 me's are the same. This gave me plenty to think about at the time -- they were not at that time. Fear probably drove me to think that I "should" be or "had to" be, but the truth is all I needed was to be.
The three parts of you are: the you that you see as yourself, the you that other people see and the you that you would like to be.
How do you put all of those parts of you into one? Dr. Dharma said it's about "being" -- not doing. Being the best person you can be, being blessed, being abundant, being healthy, being happy, being holy.
For me the key has been practicing yoga. Yoga is teaching me everyday to simply BE - in the journey to make all of the parts of me to be the same.
So many times recently I have sat down to write, only to get my mind moving in a hundred different directions on what I would like to talk about. So much to catch up on.
First of all, I wanted to give a little update on my yoga practice. In Kundalini Yoga, is recommended to practice a technique for 40 days minimum. So, in accordance with that, I used a dvd by Ravi Singh and Ana Brett called, "Journey through the Chakras". I practiced daily for the entire month of October and the first half of November. I LOVE this dvd. Please do try it for a terrific way to open up your chakras and get to the true you.
Second, through this set, I started (and finished) a ba-zillion things. I did tons of home projects and planted an herb garden. These two things may not seem like a lot, but they really stem from the realization that only I can make my dreams come true.
For example, one dream - to have an indepth herb garden. I have always grown herbs, however, I wanted to really, really grow herbs. Make them special and have a lot of them to choose from. If I ever grow up, maybe someday I will be an herbalist. The lore behind them, not to mention using them for cooking, medicine, drinks and to simply sit near them and inhale -- all enchant my every sense.
Our home. Greg and I have spoken about our home and all of the things that we wanted to do to make it ours. These past months, we have rearranged bedrooms, painted half the house and created a colorful/cheery/sunny/delightful kitchen. We are far from done, but it's been quite cleansing to remove old wallpaper, get bold with colors and to make the little things matter.
Making our own dreams come true... it's magic.
Thank you,
Ana
