It's the end of the year.... my favorite time to look back, celebrate all that's happened in my life (get complete with the difficult stuff) and figure out what I really want next year to look like.
I thought this would be a good time to find out what you're thinking about, working on, struggling with, etc.
So, whaaas up? How was your year? What did you love? What kind-of sucked? If you were hanging out at my house for New Year's Eve and we were sitting in front of the fire having a cocktail, what would YOU want to share? If you could ask me anything in the world, what would you want to talk about?
I hope you are having a faaabulous December and getting ready to ROCK 2010, leave me a shout out. Let me know what's happening in your life.
mmwwaaahhh!
Here's a silly video I made to get you thinking..... (it's very rare that I put on the "pretty" so I make several videos all at once) I was getting a little loopy here :-D
So, what's YOUR question? :-D
If you'd rather ask me something privately just send an email to question (at) sandygrason.com




I wish I could tell you that I've conquered my Inner Critic, stomped her out, smashed her with my powerful-Rock Star-Hot Mogul-ness. I hate to report that she is alive and well and she usually is loudest when I'm standing in the wings getting ready to head on stage, the person introducing me is reading my fabulous bio, listing all the wonderful things I've accomplished, blah, blah, blah.... all I hear is “If they could have seen you having a meltdown in the parking lot with your kids last week, oh they would be REALLY impressed...”
I'm not sure you ever really get rid of your Inner Critic, but I have found ways to turn up the volume of my Inner Wisdom and to live my life from the guidance of my Inner Wisdom rather than from the fear of my Inner Critic. I can also happily report that I no longer allow my Inner Critic to stop me from pursuing things I really want to do.
Be Willing to Suck. As I mentioned, my Inner Critic likes to tell me that I'm doing “it” wrong. It doesn't matter what it is, there's that critical voice, always chiming in, judging everything, looking for the problem or the reasons why I'll never be able to succeed. I got a note from a reader recently telling me the story of her sister who finally, finally finished her screenplay. When she asked her sister how she managed to accomplish this her sister replied “I was willing to suck at it!” That's the game your Inner Critic plays, judging you harshly until you just give up rather than doing something that is less than perfect. So go ahead! Be willing to Suck! It will change your life!
