1. Welcome Notes
I am on the road home today and will be back in my office
on Monday, August 28th. I’d love to hear how you’ve
enjoyed these 3 “vacation” CTJ’s. A bit lighter, a bit
shorter. What do you think?
Welcome to all our new subscribers and, as always, a big
thank you for forwarding CTJ to people you think will
enjoy it. It is how our family grows. I wonder what the
number will be when I return? I wish you all a joyful
week.

2. Go Have Fun!
As a coach, I work with my clients to create success,
balance and freedom in all areas of their lives. However,
all too often, in our desire to move forward with our goals
and dreams, to obtain balance in our lives, to grow our
business, to create reserves — we forget to have fun.
Simple, unadulterated, no-redeeming-social-value, tickle
your insides fun.
That is your assignment for this week: Go Have Fun!!
Each day for the next week, do something that is just plain
fun. It will brighten your day, lighten your load, heighten
your enjoyment, frighten the blues away and enlighten
your shadow side.
All that rhyming was just, plain fun, and I am giggling
madly at the silliness of it all! Which is exactly what I’m
talking about.
I’m betting that putting fun in each day for the next week
will establish a pattern – and a fun pattern at that – that
you will continue one day at a time for as many days as
there are.
