Happy Holidays - December 2012 - Live Your Music

December is one of my favorite times of year because I love the beautiful decorations, the colorful lights, and the holiday music. It is a time of year when people are more focused on being kind, taking time to spend with their family and friends, and it is a time to reflect on all we're glad we did this year.

2012 has been quite a year. While it has been like a roller coaster in so many ways it has been a year of accomplishments and celebrations for our family.

Our son, Zander, graduated from Chapman University with a BFA in film production with an emphasis on film editing, moved to Sherman Oaks (near LA and Hollywood), edited a couple of music videos and was hired as an assistant film editor for the ABC TV reality show "Wipeout."

My husband, Dudley, celebrated his 32nd year in his design and photography business, is working on his 3rd album of solo acoustic guitar compositions, and just completed the manuscript for his book "King of the Buskers."

I received my certification as a life coach and am celebrating the second printing of my book "The Art of Living a Life You Love" in addition to reviewing quite a few books and events for Hay House Publishing.

Also, as some of you know, my husband and I celebrated our 30th anniversary this year. Zander, Dudley, and I had a wonderful family celebration vacation on Maui in September.

What were some of the highlights of 2012 for you? What are you glad you did this year? I would love to hear! Please send me an email if you'd like to tell me.

Love, Hugs & Joy,

Margaux

For the past few years, during the last week of December I've written a list of 25 things I'm glad I did that year. Writing my list helps me remember things I am glad to have done throughout the year. It's easy to forget all we do - the things we've experienced that were fun, that were exciting, and that we feel proud to have accomplished during the year.

I've found that creating this list each December inspires me to begin to imagine what I would love to put on my list at the end of the next year.

Will you join me in writing a list - either on paper or on your computer - of 25 things you're glad you did this year? As you write your list, begin to consider what would you'd like to have on your list at the end of 2013.

What are your most cherished dreams? What are your heart's desires? What exciting goals would you like to achieve next year?

If you would like support in living a life you love, please consider having me be your Life Coach in 2013. If you would like to set a time to have a conversation about coaching, please send an email to [email protected].

Becoming certified as a Life Coach was something that I was inspired to do this year. Luckily I found coach training that felt right for me. I am thankful that I listened to my Inner Voice, Joy, and decided the time had come for me to become a Life Coach.

I am happy to say that I completed my Life Coach training in July, passed the exam, and became a certified professional Life Coach.

I feel like this is something I've been training for my whole life. It goes perfectly with my natural interests and talents.

It feels good to be able to say, "I am a Life Coach. I help people believe in themselves, take time to show up for their dreams, achieve their goals, and love the life they are living."

I enjoy helping my clients focus on their top priorities each week. I ask them questions that help them feel inspired to take the actions on priorities that will create the results they desire.

Is there something you have been feeling inspired to do? Is there a creative project that has been calling you? Would you like to pursue new activities and/or work you enjoy? Are you ready to go for some big goals, create some heart's desires, and "show up" for your most cherished dreams?

I am now taking appointments for new coaching clients for January 2013. I have room in my schedule for 2 new clients. If you would like to be one of my coaching clients in 2013 please send an email to [email protected].

I am wishing you love, laughter, hugs, music, singing, dancing, joy, and fun during the holiday season and throughout the New Year!
