Loss, of a business, a loved one, a home, a best friend impacted the very fabric of what life meant to me on a personal level. By focusing on great memories, activities, habits and events made life ... bearable. And eventually it's like this phrase I once read in an old book: "Each soul slumbers a little while On this shadowy side of the stream And waking remembers life with a smile As a tale once told in a dream" Remember your dream ... and smile :)

GREAT NEWS! I have a special gift for you if you are subscribed to my Skool page - DM me BETA and I'll send you a download link. About that .... I finally migrated (successfully I hope), my SantaCookieMakers site and my old BestChristmasEver.lol site into a product and I hope I'm not too late for Christmas! The tech gremlins were nipping at my heals and causing me to pull my hair out. If any of you would like to promote it with a 70% payout to you as an affiliate, head over to OfferLabs and you'll find it in the OfferLabs Marketplace - under TheSecretCookieConnection.com I was initially going to give a $7 ebook and upsell from there into a few other items, but thought I would take Alex and ALL the Skool guru's advice and create more, rather than less. Anyway, I made it into a huge bundle for Black Friday and put in a lot of extra goodies. Hoping you can review and give me feedback on this too. Just feel like I'm out in left field and not sure if what I'm doing is the right way, the wrong way ... but I've started and tonight it went live. - you can also find some images in the comments. More than anything, would love some feedback on what you're doing, and how I can help you move forward with your goals. As a member of my Skool group, you can get a free "beta" copy - just message me with the word BETA and I'll send you the download link!

Was at an amazing restaurant the other day in Leduc. Very good food, nice atmosphere, yada yada ... only the people sitting at the tables with their families were totally disconnected. Kids were on their mobile devices, grandma was staring glumly at her coffee after trying to start a couple conversations, the other adults were all on their phones, and in a hurry to finish off and drop their grandma off back home. There were tears in her eyes, but she quietly said "Ok - I guess everyone's busy". I had watched them come in, and order - they paid more attention to the menu than to each other, and definitely less attention to the woman who would end up, signaling the waitress to bring her the bill so she could pay. It was her "treat" after all. Left me wondering ... how many of us are feeling disconnected too?

So far, a few people have approached me and are a bit shy about being on a live coffee event, and they live in my local area. They would like to meet in person at a cafe in town (Osoyoos) - so we'll do that for my first coffee hour ever. If you'd like to join in - shoot me a DM and I'll send you the location or link.

Recreating my new path forward in light of changing world dynamics. I've watched so many people, famous people and everyday people burn out and fall off the turnip truck. Me included. My choice was to decide to accept the result, or accept that results are temporary if we determine them to be temporary - and what would be the worst that could happen if I decided to overcome the thing. What if I did it anyway? The only person my choice mattered most to is me (or in your life, the only person that matters most is you). Take a few minutes. Forget all the stuff. Forget what has happened before. Where are you? What do you want? Am I living in the state of being on the path of who that new me is? These kinds of questions are the ones I find most traction in moving forward. Curious as to what types of inner dialogue you are finding popping up most in your mind? Forward moving or stuck?
