This month a big thank you goes to our husbands, Stan
Hodson and Ron Willis for spending so much time lending
their expertise to several projects. For many years Ron has
been our computer consultant, website manager, and all-
around general helper. This month he has put in extra time
running computer wires and cables so that we can be even
more efficiently connected. Stan, our long-time legal
consultant and organizational development expert, has taken
time from his schedule to help us with our latest consulting
development project.
We thank you both for the years of support...behind the
scenes and hands-on!

Driving with the Top Down |
 |
Recently, we became acquainted with this book written by
Janice Kelley. The subtitle is, Telling the stories of your
life
to awaken your creative spirit. It is filled with wonderful
questions such as:
Imagine you are a tree blanketed with snow. What does it
feel like?
Do you remind yourself of chunky chocolate, chewy
marshmallows, peanut brittle or fudge brownies and why?
What instrument do you remind yourself of? What instrument
would you like to be?
You can use the book as a journal and respond to the
questions by writing or drawing your answers. Or use it to
stimulate creative thinking, facilitate group discussion, or
enhance relationships with family members.
In this section of the newsletter, we repeat every month that
“it's okay to be who you are and to have a job/career that
matches who you are. It's more than okay-it's essential!
Doing what you love fills up your spirit and that affects your
relationships, your finances, your whole life in wonderful
ways!”
Janice Kelley's book, Driving with the Top Down,
gives you a
chance to get to know more about “who you are” in a fun and
interesting way!

Driving with the Top Down for Kids |
|
Janice has also written a version for kids. It is terrific! She
even has a Teacher's Guide for use in the classroom or for
homeschoolers. The kids' book is shorter and the questions
are just as stimulating:
What are some of the best gifts you have ever received?
What does your perfect day look like?
What is your recipe for a good friend?
High school students could use either the original book or the
kids' version to get credit for a personal development or
creative writing elective.
To order either book go to
www.drivingwiththetopdown.biz and click on Order.
