Hi everyone! Happy New Year!!!
AND the winner of Giftsprings.com December's free gift drawing is...
Janice Geer in Michigan! Congratulations Janice!
Here was her reaction to the news-
"Hi, I was surprised to learn that I had won a gift from Giftsprings.com
I love the items for sale there and shop there often. I am always
looking for new and nice items." - Janice Geer, MI
On a personal note, last year flew by incredibly fast for me. How
about you? Let's see, highlights of last year in my family
included:
my teenage son getting his learner's permit - watch out world! - my
littlest wowing us with her scooter skills - watch out neighborhood! -
and, my other daughter finally getting into the joy
of reading and
devouring book after book of the Animorphs series.
Interestingly, my son also jump started becoming an avid reader
years earlier with this same series of books. So if you want your
4th or 5th grader to "get into reading" you might try to see if your
child enjoys that series of books. It's worth a try anyway. We're
two out of three so far. If that doesn't work, think about anything
your child really enjoys and find stories and books about that for
them to read.
Well, to get you started this new year, I've selected a guest article
"regain your groove" . Also look for featured sale items at
Giftsprings and some specials elsewhere I wanted to
tell you
about. Giftsprings also now has a Valentines section. Don't miss
all the bargains out there! They make it a fun time to shop this
time of year, along with the upcoming Valentine's Day. Plan
ahead Valentine's online shopping so you have plenty of
shipping time.
Wishing you wonderful blessings throughout 2003,
Liz Hekimian-Williams

One song can spark a moment,
One flower can wake the dream.
One tree
can start a forest,
One bird can herald spring.
One smile begins a friendship,
One handclasp lifts a soul.
One star
can guide a ship at sea,
One word can frame the goal.
One vote can change a nation,
One sunbeam lights a room.
One candle
wipes out darkness,
One laugh will conquer gloom.
One step must start each journey,
One word must start each
prayer.
One hope will raise our spirits,
One touch can show you care.
One voice can speak with wisdom.
One heart can know what's true.
One
life can make the difference,
you see it's up to You!
Don't ever forget how very Important You Are

Re-Gaining Your Groove!
© 2002 Terri Seymour
Well, the holidays are coming to a close and it is time
to get back
to business!! It is hard to believe it is
the year
2003!!
Sometimes after the hectic holidays, getting back to
the
day-to-day routine of running an online business
can be hard. If you
are like me, you kind of feel like
you have lost your groove or your focus
and need to
get back in the swing of things.
A few things that may
help us do this are:
1. Review - Take a little time to go over
2002. What
were your goals? How were you going to achieve
these
goals? Did you achieve your goals? If not, DO NOT
be
discouraged. We are at the brink of a new year!
Realize what
could have kept you from reaching
your goals and make the necessary
changes.
2. Revise - Make new goals and write out a new
business plan. Learn from your experiences, good
and bad,
and improve your outlook and success.
Make note of all you did right and all
you did wrong.
Reform your methods for a bigger and better year!
3.
Repeat - Keep doing all the things that have helped
your business
to grow. Writing articles, ad swaps,
ezine publishing, announcements,
etc. Resume the
methods and moves that have helped your business
grow!
4. Reorganize - Go through all your files, folders
and
figures. Throw out all the old *stuff* that hasn't
helped you
in any way. Go over all your info and only
keep what you need.
Refresh your entire organization!
5. Remain - Keep your focus and do not
let go of your
determination and motivation. Remind yourself why
you
started your business and the dreams you have for
it and yourself.
Revitalize your dreams and goals!
6. Reward - Give yourself credit for
all you have done
and accomplished in 2002. Starting and running a
successful online business takes a lot of work, time
and
commitment. It is not done overnight so be proud
of the progress you
made and prepare yourself for
more success. Resolve to do more in
2003!
7. Rejoice - Reflect on all the things in life you are
blessed with - friends, family, life and all the simple
pleasures.
Do not dwell on mistakes you might have
made. Revel in the fact that
you had the chance to
make them and can learn from them!
I know that
these are not *specific* tips on re-gaining
your groove, but following these
ideas can keep you
in a better frame of mind for re-joining the Internet
marketing world after the hustle and bustle of the
holiday season!
So, let's all re-sign ourselves to the
fact that it is time to get back to
business and re-turn
to the everyday routine of work! ;-)
I hope
everyone had a Holiday Season to Remember!
