Christine:

I want to tell you how much a difference you are making in this life of a fifty year old woman in a little town in N California. This post for instance, it comes at exactly the right time in my life. Each of your rogue points are telling me to stand up and be me! I have battled bulima for many, many years. The war is now becoming a “cease fire” as I am discovering the real me. It began last June when I began working with Bridgette, as my life coach, she introduced me to your web site and music. I run with your music, I hear the inspirational words in my sleep “That way won’t work anymore”, as I leave my old tattered life thoughts behind. I am now about to embark on signing up for Martha Beck’s Live Coaching. It scares me to death, but it totally excites me even way more. It is HUGE for me. I have been a lowly state employee at a university, but now I am beginning to feel so empowered, that I am planning an eventual exit from that job. Your website is extremely helpful in my life. This is a thankyou for what you do. You are the best at what you do!

Christine,
Great list. I am proud to say I have already ticked (or am still ticking) a lot of these off (every day) :-) Yay to me!
I am grateful to you – tick. I delighted in my boys hugs this morning. Tick. I am having a great day. Tick. I don’t have parking meters around me (the advantage of living in the country), but I let my change linger in other places. Tick. I encourage my colleagues, my boys etc. Tick. I decide, every day, to do the things that make me happy and make me a better person. Tick. I bring it and I expand. Tick.
Thanks a bunch. And enjoy your silence.
Miranda

Love it!!

I’ve been thinking a lot about my word for 2010. My 2009 word – Abundance – made such an impact on my life and my family. Before I noticed all the Abundance in my life, I was played small and felt sorry for myself.

Abundance changed everything!!

Hey Christine ! I love this ! and my word for the year Love is causing massive changes in my life.

Sheri McConnell November 19, 2009 at 9:38 am

Brilliant list! The one that made me laugh, “Stop being a hooker”. I printed this to put up in office. ;)

Colin Munroe November 19, 2009 at 10:01 am

Christine, long time no see! Forgot about the word of the year thing…looking forward to choosing one. It’s a good, simple, and focusing idea.

Anna November 19, 2009 at 11:26 am

Love the picture of the dog! And the post, too, of course. Thanks to you…and my Sylvia pals, I’ve been able to do all but 4 or 5 of these…bring on 2010!

Christine, thank you for this wonderful post. Today I am doing 2 of these things. I’ve DECIDED to go to a Womens’ Celebration retreat, and I am EXPANDING by sharing a hotel room with someone I have never met. Scared, YES. Liberated, HELL YES!

Sheryl Sisk November 19, 2009 at 1:46 pm

I freakin’ love this post. I’m totally printing it out after I add a few dozen more of my own. This should become the greatest meme in history, I think. Everyone should add more at their own blogs or via Twitter and I’d betcha by Christmas we’d have a kick-ass book. What do you think, Christine?

Laura November 19, 2009 at 4:21 pm

Thanks, Christine, for all you teach! and model! Used to think that silence was a waste of time. That’s because I used to be a hooker with a PhD! Hugs,

Ghana November 19, 2009 at 5:05 pm

This is a great list and it came at the right time. Oh, I used to hook all the time, I do it less now THANK GOD; thanks for clarifying what it is, next defect to drop. I do remain a happy hooker (crocheteress)!

Tonya November 20, 2009 at 8:53 am

OMG….I love the picture! That dog’s got style. I love blazing the trail rogue style. Thanks for the tips!

Lisa November 21, 2009 at 10:12 am

Unbelievable, I little under a year with your coaching and I checked them all off! WOW…Thank you much!!!

Peggy November 21, 2009 at 1:52 pm

New-bee here Christine, but boy am I glad I found you! This is very good and I will keep it posted as my new year’s resolutions. SO happy to add you to my Feedly. :)

Hi Christine..just wanted to say thanks for this post – and the posts it lead me to! I have been ‘tryíng’ to give up coffee for a long time..without much long term joy – until I linked to your posts How to Give up Coffee Part I and Part II – and I am now into Day 4 of my Freedom from Coffee and I can honestly say there is no going back! I don’t know exactly what you said that clicked with me, probably the final paragraph about changing my approach from Giving up Coffee, to Gaining more Energy, or something…anyway THANKS! xox

kathleen November 23, 2009 at 2:45 am

..and p.s. I’ve chosen my word for 2010 – VITALITY

Poppy November 23, 2009 at 3:17 am

# 4 could also be stop blaming YOUR period… :)

kelli November 23, 2009 at 12:37 pm

Thank you again, Christine!! Love the mohawk Chihuahua! Happiest of holidays to you and all your readers!!
