Hi there,
 I'm sure you've
heard? "Sex in the City", the
movie, opened! YES, I was a huge fan of this
show and watched it faithfully on Sunday nights for
years. Well, this weekend I have a fun "Sex in the
City Ladies Night Out" planned! Movie, dinner out
at the Minneapolis hotspot Bellanote, and then a
luxurious night in a suite at The Grand Hotel, complete
with, you guessed it, a martini or two! (The Grand
Hotel is home to Martini BLU.) I'll have a
few photos of all our fun next week!
I really do love experiencing the FINE things in life.
Rich Life Experiences is what I call them and every
year I look for ways I can step into and experience the
richness of life. Does this always mean I have to
spend a lot of money? Not at all, although sometimes
I do. It just depends on what the experience calls for.
You can't put a price tag on spending time with great
friends, in the backyard, singing songs around a
roaring fire. But sometimes a delicious meal at a
local hot spot is well worth the price.
What does "fine living" mean to you? (Because
really, that's the only opinion that should matter to
you.) However you define it, make a commitment
to give your soul what it craves to experience.
Don't deny yourself experiences that set your
spirit free.
And as a little extra encouragement to create your own
rich life experiences read this week's article, one I
wrote a few years ago: 3 Keys to Living Well.
I hope you enjoy it!
This week I also officially start my "summer
schedule". Today is my daughter's last day of
school and tomorrow we're starting the day swimming
at our health club. I'll be taking EVERY Friday off this
summer, without fail. It's a promise I made to myself
and to my daughter. This time with her is precious
and I look forward to our "Mom and Kasie days".
I hope you enjoy your weekend, too. Remember,
life is what you make of it so find a way to give your
SOUL what it craves. You deserve it so don't hold
back, OK? Find a way.
I'll see you here again next week!
Bye for now...
Wishing you happiness and success,
Cari Vollmer

3 Keys to Living Well
In your mind, what does Living Well mean to you?
Does it mean you have plenty of money to do whatever
you want? Does it mean you get to spend your time as
you wish? Does living well conjure up the image of
beautiful cars and homes and luxurious vacations, or
solo trips to remote corners of the earth?
As they say, if you can dream it you can achieve it.
However, a vivid imagination in and of itself does not
lead to getting what you want. You also have to take
supportive, concrete actions. In order to live well, it
may be necessary for you to do some things differently
then you're doing today. Below is a list of three key
points to keep in mind if you have the desire to live
well but have no idea how to actually start doing so.
1. Learn How to Live Well
If you've never actually lived well, it may feel like a big
leap to do so. But what if you could learn how to live
well? You can!
There are dozens, if not hundreds of books, CD's and
other helpful sources of information which will teach
how to get what you want. In fact, the entire personal
growth/self-help industry is founded on the intention of
helping people live better than they are today.
For example: If you dream of making a lot of money
AND the freedom money gives you, but today barely
scrape by, there are several excellent books, CD's
and seminars that will help you learn how to become
a money magnet so you can go on to create the life
and freedom your soul craves.
Another example: If you dream of traveling the world,
there are hundreds of books and publications that will
show you how to travel the world, either on a
budget or luxuriously.
The point here is if you want something, there is a way
to get it. You just have to learn how to get it.
Invest in yourself and your dreams. You and they are
worth the time and money you'll spend doing so.
2. Create Rich Life Experiences
Life is really just a series of experiences. Some
experiences we learn and grow from and others set
us back. Other experiences make us feel fantastic and
some leave us feeling stressed out.
Instead of waiting for great experiences to fall in your
lap, create your own rich life experiences.
Rich Life Experiences are experiences you create for
yourself from a state of purpose. In other words, you
decide what kind of experience you wish to have and
then you make it happen!
For instance, if you're someone who loves fine wines,
create opportunities for yourself to learn more about
different kinds of wines. Visit local wine tasting events
and when you out grow that experience plan a trip to
California's wine country or take a class from a world
renowned wine expert!
Rich life experiences occur when you take something
you're passionate about and find ways in which you
can fully immerse yourself in your passion.
Creating rich life experiences for yourself will allow
you to live life fully.
3. Keep Life Simple
LIVING WELL does not equal DOING MORE.
On the contrary, living well may require you to cut
way back and focus your time and attention on just a
few select parts of your life.
Two great questions that will help you keep it simple
are:
What do I really want? And,
If I could do anything, be anything or have anything
I wanted, what would I do, be or have?
Now, brainstorm a list of 100 things. Then see if there
are groups of themes in your list. For example, if you
write down you want to travel to Paris, Africa and
China; you can group all of these together under
TRAVEL!
The themes you see on your list will give you a place
to start focusing your attention.
Focusing your attention will give you more energy to
do the things you really want to do because you won't
be pulled in too many directions doing things you
don't really want to do.
For maximum efficiency, pick only two or three things
from your list to focus your attention on at any given
time and then give those few things your all!
You can live well. Decide what living well means to
you, learn how to get what you want, create rich life
experiences for yourself and keep life simple.
