RAVE
REVIEWS OF THE MOMENT
"KC, I get several enewsletters,
blurbs, and so on from all different types of lists and subjects. I
just wanted you to know that your Moment of Joy is wonderful; out of the
50 or so I am on, yours is one of the top two. I base that on content,
effectiveness of originally intended purpose, and value to reader.
Thanks for brightening my day. I am definitely forwarding this on to
several
other people I think will appreciate it. When the resource section of
our website is updated it will be added too.”

QUOTE
OF THE MOMENT
“Life isn't about
finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” -

HUMOROUS MOMENT
IN DIVORCE COURT
Thanks to my husband for this true story heard on WOKQ radio (that he does NOT agree with by the
way!)
The angry woman
divorced her husband. “Why?” asked her shocked friend when she
heard the sad news. “When I asked my husband for a cool birthday
present…one that goes 0-200 in 60 seconds, the miffed woman replied
with a frown, “he bought me a bathroom scale!”
CHUCKLE OF THE MOMENT
“Last night I
played a blank tape at full blast. The mime next door went nuts.” -
Steven Wright
STRESS RELIEVER OF THE MOMENT
Scientists in America have found if you really want to reduce stress,
get a pet! A University of New York study found people who performed
difficult tasks while a pet was in the room had lower stress levels than
when the animal was taken away. So next time you’re feeling frazzled,
hug Rover, chat with the cat or run out and buy that goldfish you’ve
been admiring.
A
COACHING MOMENT
Who were you before you put yourself last?
Really think about this for a moment! Your
answer is so important! We get so busy in our hectic lives with work,
our families, our responsibilities, that we often forget about taking
time for ourselves!
Self-care is vital.
Take a moment today just for you. Moments of
Joy are key in helping us restore our sanity and rejuvenate our souls.
When was the last time you went home early? Worked out without rushing?
Took a bubble bath? Bought flowers for yourself? A quick break from the
desk, a walk around the block, listen to some music, read something
fun…whatever will make you relax, take a breath, or smile…a little bit
is better than nothing….you’ll be better able to cope with life’s stresses;
besides, you deserve it!

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS FOR A MOMENT
When we see what happened in the wake of
the tragic storm Katrina, it makes us look at our lives in a powerful
way. Take a moment to hug your spouse and your children, let your
friends know how much you appreciate them, praise those employees,
donate to the victims in need. Be appreciative of what you have now.
Having an ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE every day will make you rich beyond
belief.
INVESTMENT OF THE MOMENT
It’s YOU I want you to invest in. I’ll give
you a FREE one hour Success Coaching session…that’s a $125 value…and we
can focus on anything you’d like to move forward in or take action on.
You can be anywhere in the world, because phone coaching is very
powerful. Your happiness and success? What better investment is there
than that?! (If you’ve already experienced coaching, then pass this
life-changing gift along to someone you care about.)

PUNS
OF THE MOMENT
Thanks to
good-natured Kim Peck for the silly puns (You may groan, but you’ll
smile too!)
My first job was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned
...couldn't concentrate.
Then,
I worked in the woods as a lumberjack,
but I couldn't hack it, so they gave me the ax.
Next I tried working in a muffler factory but that was too exhausting!
BUMPER STICKER OF THE MOMENT
Give me ambiguity
or give me something else.
MOMENTS OF FUN AT WORK
Thanks to fun-lovin’ Linda Dickson for
ways to maintain a healthy level of insanity on the job:
1.
Page yourself over the intercom. Don't disguise your voice.
2.
Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over
their caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.
3.
Put your garbage can on your desk and label it "In."
4.
Put mosquito netting around your work area and play tropical sounds all
day.
SHARE JOY FOR A MOMENT
Spread good cheer, make someone smile and
forward this Joy Note on to your friends, relatives, employees and
colleagues. As Milton Berle used to say…"Laughter is an instant
vacation."
Thanks for allowing us visit
with ya…if even for a moment! Have A
GREAT DAY FILLED WITH MOMENTS OF JOY!
