New beginnings

Dear Reader,

What a blessing the Thanksgiving break turned out to be.  The day itself was spent completely in the company of family and friends.  Friday was a work day that went extremely well, productive and punctuated by a very brief step into the shopping world.  My 14 yr. old granddaughter Hanna talked me into a girl cousin overnight to do crafts, play games, watch and movie and do nails.  How could I resist that.  I didn't hesitate one minute.  The shopping was to buy the Friendship bracelet and Gingerbread House kits along with 4 new paint sets.

On Saturday families who had not gathered on Thursday, plus a couple who had, came for my turkey, bringing the trimmings.  It was wonderful and included a gang of us playing touch football after mid day dinner.  Only the girls remained and was it fun watching a movie, talking, playing sardines and hide and seek and spending lots of time in the hot tub.

Today, Monday, began with a new scroll, a prayer for guidance, guidance for a saleswoman. A prayer for focus, for love, for perseverance, for staying in the present, for ability to meet whatever situation presents itself.  With one remaining month in the year, handing the results over to the hand of the Divine feels so appropriate.  And in the middle of the afternoon, my leaders called and, after being satisfied with the answers to a series of questions about my motivation, invited me to join a team of high achievers for maximum effort over the next 6 months.

I am encouraged by their leadership and will shape my other commitments so that I have the time it takes to meet their rigorous requirements.  How wonderful to have this kind of accountability to help me reach the goals I have.

December will be what we are calling and intense mental fast.  We will read What do you say when you talk to yourself by Shad Helmstetter.  We will read this book in the next 30 days, listen to 2 audios from Jerry Clark's Club Rhino and re-write our 20 Reasons.  Massive action will yield massive prospects.

Stay tuned.  Enthusiastically, Betsy Bell
