Dec. 19, 2007 - Happy Holidays!

		I hope you are having an extraordinarily joyful December! This is my last Tuesday Tip for the Year (I know my wonderful Virtual Assistant, Annette, is happy to hear she won't be working on Christmas or New Years Days!). I am having so much fun planning for Christmas with Lily, my 6 year old granddaughter. We have decorated, baked cookies, made a gingerbread house and BLOGGED!!!! Have you visited Lily's Blog at www.LilysLand.com? You know, if a 6 year old can blog-you can too! If you need help, check out the No Blogger Left Behind course that starts in January! She posted her Christmas List for Santa!
We are planning for a Christmas with about 20 friends and family, including our Australian guests, Karin and Finn Hanna. Karin is traveling around the world to spread the word about www.ILoveMyAgent.org . If you haven't signed up, it's free & a good way to differentiate yourself. I hope you are spending a lot of time out and about! Now is the time to visit the folks in your database or at least make a warm call and touch base. When you do this, make sure to update their email address! Have fun and BE OBVIOUS!

My wish for you this holiday season is that you are surrounded by love and experience joy with whomever you are with and whatever you do! Isn't it great to wake up above ground and not have people shooting at you?

2008 is going to be an extraordinary year. My wish for the New Year for you is that it be one when your true desires manifest easily and you are able to share your unique gifts with those who need them! There will be opportunities everywhere!

If there is any support you need, I'd love to play with you next year! Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year!

Making A Difference
Turn $25 into $100

Last chance this year to quadruple the difference you make. Many have already donated and, thanks to you, we have raised $2000 for CARE in the past 2 months. I'd like to do that again between now and the end of the year. So...let me help you make the decision to send $25 (or more to CARE) and help make lives a little easier for those in need:

If you send $25:

• I will match your contribution and our contributions will be matched by CARE Ambassador Sheila C. Johnson: So your $25 will turn in $100!!!!
• I will also throw in a copy of my Awesome Year Plan for 2008:

Make your contribution here and then email me the receipt and I will match your gift and send you the Plan! Thanks for making a BIG difference to people whose average daily income is under $2!

Tech Tip

Just in time for a 2007 Tax Deduction: Sign up before the end of the year for the NAR's ePRO Course and save $25 . If you aren't an ePRO yet, this is the most important course you could take right now, given 92% of Buyers are starting online! Learn what you can do to increase your Internet business and work smarter in 2008!
