Hello Dahhhhlings~
I have to thank each and every one of you that wrote to me, posted comments on my blog and on Facebook and Twitter about my article last week “Don’t Forget Who You Are”. I was overwhelmed and inspired by your feedback. Many of you shared your own stories of giving away your power and many of you seemed to be in the same place I was last week and told me how much you appreciated the message. I just want you know that I read each email & comment and am so grateful to have YOU in my life.
I also decided to share something very PERSONAL with you – and I am just a little bit nervous about sharing it….
You see, even though I am very "out there" with my public personality as this Hot Mogul building an Empire with B.A.L.L.S. etc,…. well... I am usually reluctant about sharing too much of my private life. Which is why I am a little bit nervous...
(illustration Ruben Toledo) But I had such a huge revelation last week that I decided I had to come out and share this with you -
First, I need to give you a little bit of history…..
I met my husband, Rich, in college. He was playing in a band at a fraternity party, we were both nineteen years old. For the first seven or so years of our relationship we both thought we would live this extraordinary life, traveling the world, playing music and hanging out with the rich and famous. He was my Rock Star.
Our lives didn’t turn out that way. We got married, had two babies and made a different kind of life together.
I started writing books and tried to make sense of my own life, always searching for the meaning among the ordinary, chaotic moments of our lives.
It’s funny how it seems everyone in the world will listen to you except your own family, right? I mean, I wonder if Maria Shriver’s husband “The Terminator-Ahhhhnold” pays attention to the extraordinary inspirational messages she brings to the world?
In any case, even though I've helped thousands of people find their passion & purpose and have FUN making money doing work they love... sometimes I thought my advice was falling on deaf ears with my own husband. Little did I know that Rich was actually listening to me (at least some of the time)
Last weekend, after having such an emotional few weeks in my business (and my life), we were sitting around the fire (yes, I turn on the fireplace just about every single day) having a glass of wine with some friends and Rich picked up his guitar and played a song he wrote called “This Ordinary Life”.
In that beautiful moment, sitting with my friends and family, listening to my husband sing to us, I realized that it’s moments like these that make up a fabulous life. I wish I could have whipped out the video camera to capture the moment or better yet, transported you to my living room so that you could have shared the love with us.
I can’t do that, but I did put together a video, as a present for Rich, to show him how much I appreciate him.
So now I have a simple favor to ask of you... it won't cost you a penny, just a minute or two of your time. I am going to give this video to Rich next week, and I would love to make it even more special - and you can help me do that if you can spare just a few seconds...
You see, I want reconnect Rich to his Rock Star-ness and show him how much his passion and his talents mean to me. Will you listen to this beautiful song then just type in a simple message to Rich in the comments below. Share some of the Ordinary Moments that make your life extraordinary.
I am hoping to get hundreds (or even thousands) of responses... then I will put them all together for Rich. Can you think of a better gift than hundreds of notes from my readers from all over the world?
Just type a quick note below to send me your thoughts about “This Ordinary Life”... I will take care of the rest.
Here's to the ordinary moments that make your life extraordinary!
Peace, Love and Chocolate Kisses,
Sandy
P.S. Thanks for taking the time to read this to the end. I don't usually share this kind of personal stuff in my blog... and I certainly have never asked for anything like this before! But I decided to put myself really ‘out there’ this time!
