Hello SowPubbers!

I had something exciting happen this week. I would like to celebrate
with YOU!

I was making several phone calls, lines were busy, my phone
did not even ring I just noticed there was no dial tone and
said "HELLO" and got back, "Hello, My name is Amy Flurry and
I am a writer with Woman's Day magazine........"

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And then I picked myself up off the floor and said, "Hi, Amy, what
can I do for you today?"

Yes, I get calls like this ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL the time..........(tongue
planted firmly in cheek).

She is writing an article called, "Design a Life You Love"
She will have several experts she is featuring in
sidebars, and I will be one of them. Basically, I will give
several tips to living with passion.......

I can not BELIEVE IT! And yet I can believe it 100% purely because
I am living according to my purpose. I have taken all that I have
learned and digested intellectually and taken it to the heart
level and beyond. Once it filtered through my heart, it is as if
my heart pumped it out to every cell and then beyond that, all
that knowledge and all the discipline of putting that knowledge
into action has made the Knowledge literally radiate out....I am
not sure if this makes any sense......but I know it is something
I can actually physically feel. And other people can feel it as well.
(That is simply amazing!)

So, sure, being included in a large national publication as an expert
is no big surprise......

And it is absolutely magnificently possible for EACH of us. The steps
are simple and significant.

1. Gain as much knowledge as possible in your special interest area.

2. Move that knowledge from the intellect to the heart. It transfers to
the soul through deep contemplation as well as using it as a
tool somehow (for me, mostly coaching writing and speaking and creating supporting products) For
you, maybe teaching or speaking or creating art...who knows?)

3. Continue to increase both the depth and breadth of the experience
by challenging yourself to dig deeper....wider....look more and try things out.
Just say no to fear......lack....scarcity. Fully embrace that YOU are perfect,
whole and complete. Judge and compare neither yourself nor anyone else.
Toss around your ideas with a loving, supportive, compassionate community
where you are applauded simply for showing up as your authentic self.

4. Continue to up the ante, try on new distinctions. Integrate your core values
into EVERYTHING. Show up everywhere as your life purpose. When it feels
inauthentic? Tell fear, scarcity and lack to hit the road, and stand steadfast in what you believe to be true...your vision, your values, your purpose, your cause...whatever YOU call it!

5. Sit in gratitude, love radically, give abundantly, receive with joyful humility.
When you believe you are doing all of these, kick it up a notch. Add a dash of
passion, a touch of clarity, and laugh through the fine tuning.

Right now my life is growing beyond my wildest imagination. I write this
from a place of amazement, humility and a strong desire to serve as I continue
to grow.

With Tears of Wonder,

JULIE JORDAN SCOTT
