Patience is Power!

Greetings!

Those of you who are Stephen Covey fans have no doubt heard him talk about "The Law of the Harvest." He points out that waiting until August to start planting will leave you pretty hungry! Farming, he says, requires much more planning, patience, and faith than the earlier method of hunting and gathering, but what a leap for those who were willing to take that long-range view! We can apply this to our creative projects as well.

What about your creative projects? What are they asking of you? Here's what mine are asking:

*"Let us grow organically."
* "Keep the big picture in mind."
* "Plant lots of seeds, and don't dig them back up to see if they're doing anything! Instead, go out and plant some more."

The potential of your idea is staggering! Otherwise, it wouldn't keep nudging at you. Patience will give you the power to see it through. Happy planting!

February Dig-In Days! Please email me at scleaver@dejazzd.com for more info or to register for this fun way to support each other on our projects via teleconference technology. The calls are short; the time in between is independent work time in your office, home, or studio! I have two sessions scheduled: Wed., Feb. 21 and Wed., Feb. 28. Each will run from 1:00 pm Eastern until 3:10 pm Eastern. You may join either one or both with my compliments; your only expense is your long-distance charges for the three brief check-in calls to the teleconferencing service. Please register by noon the day BEFORE your chosen session or sessions.

This method of supporting each other in our work has been wildly successful in the coaching community, but why should coaches have all the fun? Here's what one of my non-coach participants, Mary Beth Krawchuk, had to say about her first Dig-In hour: "I got more done in the first hour than I've done on this project in the past month!" Please join us!

The price has dropped on my 50-page guided journals, "The Whispering Heart"! They are now
available for $10. Please email me at scleaver@dejazzd.com for shipping and tax details that will depend on where you live. You may also request five sample pages free of charge!

Blessings,
Susan
