Happy Monday Everyone!
Now for our Magic Monday Freebie Winner
Last weeks Magic Monday commenter is Trey from Swollen Thumb Entertainment! His comment:
“These are all great tips. I like the one about simplfying your goals to 3 a day. That’s an easy task to accomplish. And when you think about it, thats 21 goals a week, or 93 goals a month, or 1092 goals a year! Behold the power of less!”
Todays Magic Monday Give Away …
is from my blogging buddy Eric Hamm of www.frugalsitedesign.com
In Eric’s own words, “As a WordPress consultant/designer I get to enjoy my two favorite things; technology and helping others WITH technology. With bloggers being some of my biggest clients, I spend a lot of time in WordPress and the many themes and plugins that come with the territory. From setup and design to troubleshooting and general consulting, I pretty much do it all. Normally this is a paid service, but I would like to give away some of my time to one of Tess‘s readers in participation with her excellent new series, Magic Mondays.”
What I’m offering:
Not knowing the individual needs that I will be addressing, I’ve decided to present 3 packages for the winner’s choosing.
- Blog design assessment. I will take a look at a blog of your choosing and create a report on its design and usability. I will share my thoughts, give suggestions and make a general assessment on what could be done to improve its all around design and layout.
- Custom logo/header design and installation. I will create a custom logo/header for the blog of your choosing and then install it for you.
- 30 minute general consultation. We can talk on the phone or through IM (chat) for up to 30 minutes. You can ask me whatever you’d like.
If you have any questions about who I am or what I do, feel free to contact me via email or phone. You can find my contact information by visiting my website FrugalSiteDesign.com.
You can also fine Eric on www.Blogopolisblueprint.com where he blends his technology talent with Sean Platts creativity, a rare thing in the blogosphere. Then there is www.MotivateThyself where Eric convinces you to “grab life by the horns and never let go!” Eric is also a soon to be new dad!
Today’s Magical Monday Contest:
As a former therpist I advised my clients to use affirmations. I know you can purchase fancy ones but I encourage everyone to make their own on index cards. This allows you to personalize them put them in your own handwriting. There’s power in that!
There are other ways you can do it but for me this is the most powerful. Today I want to share with you some of my personal affirmations that always get Mondays going for me.
I enjoy the present and trust in my future. My life is an adventure that I create.
I live in an abundant universe. I choose to focus on what’s good and right in my life. I’m open to giving and receiving more.
I acknowledge the joy, wonder and beauty in my life.
The world is pregnant with infinite possibilities.
I am a strong, inteligent and loving person and I count. I own my value even when I make a mistake.
I find little things to appreciate and enjoy in all of my daily tasks.
I live in the present. I am willing to be bold and take risks and move forward no matter what the outcome.
I acknowledge many kinds of success and expect success in the future.
I am safe in the world. I’ll manage all difficult things that come up.
I release conflict and choose inner peace.
I release worry, hurry and control.
How about you? Do you have a favorite affirmation or do one of these speak to you? Please share your thoughts about affirmations in the comment box for your chance to win.
The winner will be announced later this week!
Tess, sorry to hear about your technical problems. I have those a lot because I’m always trying new things and have to grit my teeth through the teething problems.
You just reminded me to dig out an affirmation I used to do everyday but have lately stopped. I’m going to get going with it again. Here it is:
“I am so happy and grateful now that I have full control of my self and my life. My home is a beautiful sanctuary where family and friends love to visit. I can travel anywhere in the world to be with those I love any time I want.
I have wonderful relationships with the people I love. I take my mum to lunch weekly and spoil her with good meals, hotels, gifts, and word of affirmation. I am close to my only sister and give her the emotional support she needs. I spend time with my nephews to empower them with love and confidence for life. I respect and support my partner who adores me.
I have this life of my dreams because I am wiling to pay the price for success. I am focused on becoming a better person and leading by example. I am committed to achieving the goals I set. I am a product of the good habits I have formed.”
Funny thing, Tess. On reading it now I realise so much of it has already come true. Affirmations do work!
