A Personal Note from Cari


Hi there,

This week I have a feeling a lot of people are on vacation. Here in the U.S. we just celebrated Memorial Day so why not take advantage of an extra day vacation! The world around me feels a little quiet right now. Are you having the same experience?

Last Friday I spent a lot of time planning how I'm going to get it ALL done by the end of the year. New website, new ezine, new viral video coming out...new products and service offerings. New...new...new! I'm so excited about the facelift I'm giving LifeOnTrack.com and now I feel I have a solid plan in place of how to implement all the growth I'm experiencing. Clarity and I found each other!

CLARITY...if you don't have it, what are you wait*ing for? Clarity and Focus are the hallmarks of making things happen and getting things done. If you have it, you know you have it. If you don't...do something about it! Don't stay in the dark, do the work you need to do to clear the way for your life and life purpose to unfold. You are here to BE and DO certain things. Never doubt it, your life and life purpose matter. Start LIVING IT. You'll be supported and guided along the way.

This week I'm so happy to feature a guest article by my new friend and colleague Cookie Tuminello from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Cookie and I met in April at Fabienne Fredrickson's workshop and we became buddies right away. She is a bundle of joy and love and a ton of fun. You're going to love her article: Does Your Boundary Fence Need Mending?

Enjoy your weekend! I have no big plans for this weekend but the following one I do! I'll tell you all about it next week!

Bye for now and take care...

Wishing you happiness and success,

Feature Article

Does Your Boundary Fence Need Mending?
by Guest Expert, Cookie Tuminello

"If you don't have fences (boundaries), any old stray dog can come and walk on your grass." Rachelle Disbennet-Lee - Coach, Author, Daily Action Advocate

TOP SUCCESS SOURCE PRINCIPLE: I know that I have talked about setting boundaries numerous times before. However, since it seemed to be a recurring theme this week with some of my clients and myself, I felt the subject needed revisiting. Besides, everyone needs to put personal boundaries in place in order to protect themselves.

The problem is not that you can't set boundaries in your life, the problem is that you don't give yourself PERMISSION to set those boundaries. Not setting boundaries is People Pleasing at its finest. With that being said, let's take care of that root issue right now. If you've been waiting for someone to give you PERMISSION to set boundaries, then WAIT NO MORE! Here it is.

I, Cookie Tuminello, Personal Power Mentor, give you, People Pleaser No More, permission to create and set boundaries for yourself so that your life works for you. There! You now have someone's absolute permission to start putting those boundaries in place.

As you can tell, I'm very passionate about this subject. In life, the grass would be you and the stray dog would be the people in your life. If you don't have boundaries in your life, there are no guidelines around what's acceptable and what's not. Believe me, I can relate. I let people walk on my grass for a lot of years before I woke up, and frankly, I'd rather be the happy dog.

How can you tell if your boundary fence needs mending? Here are some questions to ask yourself:

· Am I feeling overwhelmed, overcommitted, and overpowered?
· Am I taking care of everybody else but me?
· Am I feeling resentful because of it?

If you answered yes to the above questions, then your fence definitely needs mending.

Take a look at where the major holes are and start plugging them up.

· Get clear about what your boundaries are so that you don't leave your gate open.

· Make sure others are clear about what your boundaries are so neither party gets shocked or blindsided on your grass.

· Be committed to YOU first. Keep your fence electrified at all times if you have to, in order to keep YOU at the top of your list of priorities.

With clear cut boundaries in place, you stop the people pleasing, take back your power, and create more peace and success in your life with more time to enjoy it all.

healthy boundaries

Good fences keep things IN and OUT.

They can keep you safe and they can keep you hidden.

They can enhance your life, or diminish it.

HEALTHY boundaries allow for growth, while keeping you in harmony with your deepest desires.
