Life before 2008 27 Apr 2007 08:00 am
Getting to work for the coolest people…
My new business, a sort of spin-off of what I love to do around here, is taking off wonderfully! I’m having so much fun with it that it’s almost not fair…what a great fit for me and “work”. One of the neatest things about it is the fantastic people I’m meeting along the way and getting to learn about fascinating work they do. Here’s a sampling….
- This business was Tim’s idea before it was mine and he’s been amazing encouragement. Tim’s goal is to be truly rich in the things that really matter in life and his blog is an exciting catalog of truly rich people and life events. Today’s post was a good reminder of how exactly we can slow down a bit and inject a little true wealth into our busy days, taking it from a philosophical idea and into the nitty gritty of our daily life.
- Patti Wood’s work intrigues my mind. She reads body language, analyzing debates, interviews, photos….as well as working as a speech coach for public speakers. In setting up her blog I got to read a lot of her archives and gain quite a lot of insight into behavior that we tend to subconscously pick up on but can’t always articulate. I realized how this was affecting me when I was looking at some celebrity photos yesterday and wondering how what the caption read and what the subjects really felt differed! Today she’s reading Alec Baldwin’s interview on The View about his daughter’s phone messages….Alec is one of my favorite characters on 30 Rock and he was the “baddie” in a move David and I watched and enjoyed the other day, Fun With Dick and Jane. He’s an interesting person that I’ve always had the impression of that he lives very differently in public and private. I’m still working on her sites but I’ll be watching for her notes with anticipation!
- I’ve just started with Sheryl Lynn of Women Celebrations. Just talking with her was a treat and a total inspiration! In watching The Secret earlier this year and thinking about the law of attraction, I certainly saw it come into play with my introduction to Sheryl and her work. There is a vibrant energy to her groups and her goal of one million women celebrating and encouraging one another. Check out her website (I’m still in the beginning phases of her new blog). Encouraging and lifting one another up is a bit counter to common behavior of stomping on one another in a competitive world and her endeavor totally invigorates me!
If the last few weeks are to be any kind of indicator, this work is going to be fun, fun, fun!

Tia, your incredible insight into terrific projects is very enlightening - almost as if they are an extension of who you are. There are many ideas to focus on in the world and it is obvious that your years of visualizing, planning, preparing for the kind of life you want to live is coming to fruition and everything is aligning as you would like it to. This is further evidence that what we call into our lives is exactly what we focus on. Congraulations for living deliberately!
The post above about Women Celebrations is well received and appreciated. Thank you. I also enjoyed our talk and I believe we have a great deal to learn from each other. I think the world will benefit from great connections such as you and I and you and Tim and Tim and I..and on and on. Here is to a day of celebration ALL day - AGAIN!
Sheryl Lynn

As long as your family remains Priority #1 and is not relegated for your pursuit of other desires and interests, we say “CONGRATULATIONS !!!”. Just remember your blog thoughts about Kathryn Sansone.

Ouch? I would humbly hope that my inner character is developed enough that no matter what level of entreprenueral success is afforded me, I would at no time abandon my children to a host of nannies, daycare workers, teachers, and coaches to do my primary job for me. That certain accomodations to my schedule and days will have to be made goes without saying, but to become the antithesis of who I am would be a tragedy.
