Huge News!!!

I recieved my Spitituality and Health magazine yesterday and it had a awesome tidbit on what I am trying to do, bringing spirituality and business together.

It said "The #1 Megattrend in business today is Spirituality" It goes on to explain why this is going to be and who is behind it. That person is the co-author of Megatrends, Megatrends 2000, and Megatrends 2010!

Patricia Aburdence! She states, "That spititual values - integrity and trust,doing good, and giving back - translates into high performance and healthy profits. She calls it "Conscious Capitalism". Please see Spirituality and Health April 2006 page 30.

It seems the Alive Foundation is on track, I will be finishing that web page this week!

Thank You,

Sun Cleaning Inc

It has been 3 months since we purchased Sun Cleaning, and it is going well. I have built the webpage www.suncleaninginc.com and it is driving about 4 people a day to the site. I am doing this through google adwords.

For the 1st attempt this is great.

We will be continuing to build it with the philosophies that I am currently building with The Alive Foundation.

Awesome days!

Life is FLYING now!

I have been working on my dissertation day and night. I am up to about 5 edits now. I am going to send it in tomorrow and see what I to do next in need may be done! Let's not get our hopes up yet :)!

I have not worked on the book in awhile, though I got great news. I think I have found a writing coach. David Bischoff. He has been very open to helping me and seems to be a pretty good person. I am looking forward to working with him, as this is the one area holding me back. You can find him at www.davidbischoff.com. Like Max Dixon he is out west, it seems all the good teachers migrate to the West coast.

I am still moving forward with the Writers Digest classes, I am on the fourth lessen in grammar 1. I think they are helping with grammar, but grammar is only a part of writing. There is also style!

I have been studying The Handbook of Workplace Spirituality and Organizational Performance. In there is a nice section on doing a value added assessment by Richard Barrett. I am going to try to contact him as this looks as something I could add to my consulting to companies. He has put together a nice way to measure spirituality in the workplace by mapping values. It looks VERY interesting. It could fit nicely with what I am trying to do with businesses.

Another POSITIVE, below our cleaning business offices is a recording studio, I met the owner before the holidays and it looks as though I have a place to do some of my audio products. I am pretty pumped up about this. "When the student is ready the teacher appears."

It is all coming together nicely, when I live as I am going to teach it is amazing what happens. Novel concept, do what you say.

I will borrow an 80's movie cliché, from the A-team....."I love it when a plan comes together!"
