Hi Creators and Big Thinkers,

My friends, Suzanne Falter-Barns and Jennifer Louden are about to have their 7th Annual Writer’s Spa Retreat, I wanted to make sure you knew before it is sold out:

Save $200 on Your Ultimate Creative Getaway: The Taos Writer’s Spa

Imagine this: Wake up in the beautiful, arid, sage-scented, sunny world of The Mabel Dodge Luhan House in Taos, NM. Join 27 other incredibly creative, fun, inspired women for a breakfast of the best eggs, croissants, grits, smoked bacon, fresh fruit, and pastries you’ve ever had. Drop in for a one-hour Council sharing session that gets you energized for the day. Stay on for a seminar about taming your inner critic or creating the pieces you need to get picked up by a publisher. Then head off for a blissful couple of hours working on your writing … knowing that if you get stuck, Suzanne and Jennifer Louden are right there, waiting to coach you privately as you need it. Then stop for lunch – again, excellent – write a little more, or attend another seminar. Or take a walk into town, with a few of Mabel’s excellent cookies in your pocket. Maybe do a little yoga. Then join others for an excellent dinner, and some amazingly stimulating nighttime activity … or just drop in on a read and chat session.

That is a typical day at the Taos Writer’s Spa in Taos NM with Jennifer Louden and Suzanne Falter-Barns. This year it’s July 26-August 1. It’s been sold out for six years running – and it’s heading that way this year, too. If you think you want to join us, don’t hesitate. Jump in!

As one visitor put it recently …
“I feel like I fell in love with myself, the woman I discovered at the Writer’s Spa! I always knew she was in there but it was wonderful having the help to get her to come out and shine. Your Spa went way beyond my expectations, and let me tell you… I had really high expectations!” –Karen Booy, 2004, 2005, & 2007 Participant

SPECIAL UPDATE: The one single and 8 doubles left are now available for $200 off the listed price – but only until midnight EST, May 15. Don’t miss it! The Taos Writer’s Spa

“Be a creator, rather than a regurgitator of what is”. How’s that for an opening line - out of the mouth of Abraham, my favorite Law of Attraction source. Couldn’t think of a better way to grab your attention - to the importance of getting your focus off of your present situation and onto what you really do want - that creation that lies beyond your regurgitated status quo.

Break the Cycle - Stop Just Re-creating Your Status Quo: Most of us, I’m afraid to say, are just plain lazy (or, at the least, uninformed). We are caught in the habitual trance of just focusing on what is, instead of doing the more structured work of focusing on what we really want. As we get what we habitually and primarily focus on, we just keep re-creating our present circumstances, inadvertently getting more of the same. Same old work, same old relationships, same old money situation, same old weight issues, same old unsatisfying geography etc. Continue Reading »

Hi Women Writers!

I have an amazing video to share–please take 18 minutes today and watch this video: http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/229

It is very, very powerful. I think it helps you understand why people think the way they do. This one helped me understand on so many levels what I am to do with my own life and also as a mother. Now I understand that my children may be more geared to think in a certain way–my job is to engage them and help them develop both sides of the brain and be more balanced in their lives. Take care and make sure to come back and post your reactions.
