2009 - MY YEAR TO SHINE

Okay, all of you R.A.D.I.C.A.L. Women out there! Good grief! There has been such interest in the 2009 - MY YEAR TO SHINE! that I have been swamped. And add to the top of that, my webpeople switched servers the very first week of the year and things aren't back to normal yet. Things have been disrupted. Prices have been weird. (Example, for all of you who ordered the R.A.D.I.C.A.L. Grieving: The Grief of Divorce eBook - you were charged $4.95 for shipping and handling. (argh!) That was supposed to be 95¢ shipping and handling ... and that bug still isn't fixed! I did refund money to anyone who ordered, or I sent a free set of CDs from the first Kansas City Boot Camp. You can still order the eBook, but it still has the $4.95 charge added on. So, until the problem is fixed, you get the Grief eBook and the set of CDs for $14.18. Just think of it as a special promotion! Order the grieving eBook and get the Boot Camp CDs ABSOLUTELY FREE! (I guess you can tell that the business/technology part of this Midlife Divorce Recovery work is the part I could definitely live without!) Anyway, I am still working on all the website stuff, and trying to find a way to make all of that easier. Another problem we're having is that all of you Radical Women Network members out there. Be sure to make sure you are entering the correct information whenever you order a product so that you get your RWN 15% discount!

I just can't believe all this is happening just when we were getting the 2009- MY YEAR TO SHINE! Program off the ground. I have been doing lots of one-on-one mentoring and I'm loving that because it's so personal and direct. Also, the 2009 MY YEAR TO SHINE MEMBERSHIP program is booming, too. I'm waiting now for a new shipment of the first month's CD: Don't Just Make Resolutions, Start Personal Revolutions. Thank you all for your continued support. And I'm proud that so many of you have ordered products here at the first of the year. I still like January because of all of the opportunity for change! So many of you are really determined to turn your life around this year that we are already experiencing a R.A.D.I.C.A.L. Women Revolution beyond my own expectations. By the way, I am trying to get a day on OPRAH, where all of us fill the audience and get makeovers, and have a segment just for us! Join us in becoming a R.A.D.I.C.A.L. Woman and becoming part of the 2009 - My Year to Shine! Program. (By the way, you can join and pay all at once, or if you call 816-941-4911, I can put you on a monthly payment schedule!)

In fact, here is a tiny segment from that first 2009 - My Year to Shine! Membership CD:

"One of the things that makes change more likely is how sick we are of how things are now. It’s not until we finally get to the point of screaming out the back door, “I refuse to feel like this one more day!” Or until we are sitting in our car by the side of the road with the windows rolled up and we yell at every one and no one, “I will not let him destroy me!” Or until we fall on the floor and sob to God, “Okay! Okay! I give up!” Or when you do something like I did when I wrote in big, hard letters in my journal with the date beside it, “I am done with all of this ridiculous sobbing!”

I had someone tell me she remembers the actual minute, the actual point in time when she said to herself, “I am not living like this one more minute!” and she started turning her life around that very instant.

But you have to be desperate enough to decide to change. With that desperation comes the decision that you’ve had enough and nothing is going to stop you from getting better.
