Your kids, however cute and cuddly they are right now, unfortunately, won’t be staying that way for too long. They’re going to go through a hundred changes in growing up and their bedroom has to keep up with all these changes to make the transition worthwhile. And there are various ways in which you can make these changes a fun experience for yourself and, most importantly, your kids.

Instead of sticking with themed bed sheets or over-sized comforters, try using a brightly colored bed covers instead. Age doesn’t always have to be an issue if you just use a plain bright blue cover instead of a Spiderman themed one when you’re child has outgrown the super-hero obsession.

The bedroom furniture has to match colors with everything else. Paint their dresser according to the color of the wallpaper to make it fit in. Try to upgrade the other furniture as well like the changing table into an actual study table which they can use when they no longer need diapers but needs a place to hold their books. Put in chairs to sit in and shelves to put their toys in and the changes are complete.

Use bright colors to make the room as energetic and as exciting for your child. If you have a one-year old, try to make the room a little mature but not too mature. Bright colors like bright blues and greens often keep your child’s interest at its best. And make sure the bed is soft and cozy, too.

The only thing that you need to keep in mind is that you need to make it comfortable for your child. Remember that he or she will be spending a lot of time here. The last thing you’ll need is to have a room that offers no refuge for troubling times.

In part 1 of this series we talked about the quick fix people are looking for as opposed to taking responsibility for creating your life.

And I asked you…

So where do you start if you are ready to take responsibility for your life and create your future?

There are 4 core areas, or what I call core blueprints, that require your attention if you want to have a life that is in flow with your true passion and purpose. When you’ve created all 4 of your blueprints and you have all 4 of these areas functioning at a level that satisfies you, then your life will be more peaceful and effortless than you have ever imagined it could really be…

No magic bullet required!

In the next 4 weeks we will discuss each of these areas:

*Introspection and Discovery of Purpose *Blueprinting the Life of Your Dreams *Sales/Marketing/Communication Skills *Mentoring for Your Life and Your Business

First I’d like to have you go back and look at how you reacted to the assignment I gave you at the end of part 1. You remember, the four lines I asked you to read out loud and then look at what your reaction told you about yourself.

I’m making the assumption that you’ve at least taken one simple action towards creating your life by doing this. So how did that go for you?

What came up?

Your body reacts to your thoughts and feelings, situations real or imagined, all the time but most of the time we aren’t aware of it, or you’ll look for a pill or a drink to cover the reaction.

Why do you think people refer to your ‘gut’ reaction?

When your stomach gets butterflies or starts swirling do you reach for an antacid or do you go inside and ask yourself what’s really happening here?

Because now, in part two of this series, we’re talking about Introspection and Discovering Your Purpose.

Introspection does not require hours of meditation or trekking to Tibet. You can start very simply by just listening to what your body is telling you.

For example: When you notice your body having a reaction, take a minute and see what was just happening that you are reacting to. Was it a phone call, an email, a conversation, or seeing something you don’t want to do coming up next on your calendar?

Or was it a daydream, a thought of fear or doubt that isn’t even real?

First you have to know what is driving your life now before you can make a shift that will move you in the direction you want to go. Why randomly make changes in your life if you don’t know where you’re actually at or what your truly want?

It’s like shooting arrows at a target while someone is spinning you around instead of planting your body, taking a proper stance and aiming at your target. That would be silly, wouldn’t it? And yet you’re basically doing the same thing every day if you haven’t created your first blueprint of Introspection and Discovery of Purpose.

So how do you get started figuring out what your purpose is?

These are criteria that I use to qualify every opportunity that comes up in my life. I believe they will serve you as well as they have served my clients in the last several years.

7 Criteria for Recognizing Your Passion and Purpose

1. Doing it makes you feel good about yourself 2. You would do it for free 3. You loose all track of time when you do it 4. You love to talk about it to everyone 5. You are happy to teach others 6. If this were how you spent all your time, it would be a good thing. 7. It makes you want to get out of bed in the morning

If you are truly living your purpose and doing what you are meant to do in this life, you will easily be ale to say yes to all 7 of these criteria. And just as importantly, you will be able to confidently say no to any opportunity that doesn’t rate a resounding yes. And I mean all 7, every time.

If you say yes to 6, but 1 of these criteria is a no or a maybe for you, then say no to whatever it is. It’s not worth your time and effort to do anything that isn’t a perfect fit for you. You don’t want to be coming from a place of lack and grabbing on to something that isn’t meant for you.

I can hear all the “yes, but..” now. It doesn’t matter how good the opportunity would make you look or how much money it could bring or what your friends will say if you don’t do it. Just say no. Your life will start working on such a higher level as soon as you really embrace this concept of saying no to the good to say yes to the great.

That’s the first step to creating your life and creating the first blueprint.

You must have a place that you confidently stand in your life. Your own personal line in the sand. And only you know what that is. I can’t give it to you and neither can anyone else.

Another good tool I would suggest you use is creating your own personal manifesto. If you haven’t done that, you can go to http://LynnPierce.com and sign up for this ezine, and you’ll get an email with a special report on how to create your personal manifesto as my gift to you. I take you step by step through how to create it and how to use it. It’s a powerful tool.

To be living your blueprint of introspection and purpose you have to be in a place of abundance in terms of confidently saying no to an opportunity that may be a good one to have the space available in your life to welcome a great one.

Does that make sense?

Too often whether it’s a relationship, a job, or a dream; you’re limiting your own ability to live your purpose by fearfully holding on to things in your life that, upon introspection, you would realize are not serving you at the highest level.

The law of attraction is not the only Universal law. One that has always been a very important one in my life is the law of creating a vacuum. Nothing new and great can come into your life unless a space has been created for it to occupy.

If all the available space in your life is filled with things that are less than perfect for you, there is no room for anything better to show up.

So you can use the law of attraction and sit and wait, or you can beg and plead, or you can stand on your head, but you will not get your desired end result.

Until you let go and know that the Universe will bring into your life exactly what you need to fulfill your purpose, you’ll have no space available for it come into your life.

Have you ever been in a bad relationship and wished for a better person to come into your life, but you wouldn’t break up with the first person because you were afraid you’d be alone?

How did that work out for you? Eventually, if you suffer enough and the pain becomes great enough you’ll make the leap and leave. Then, lo and behold, someone else shows up.

That’s the way it works in every area of your life. You can always take the slow and painful route and wait to be so miserable that you make a change out of desperation or you can choose now to actively listen to your body when you have a ‘gut reaction’ and begin to create blueprint #1: Introspection and Discovery of Purpose using the tools you’ve learned here.

Next week we’ll move on to my favorite part, Blueprinting the Life of Your Dreams.

So get to work right now on discovering your purpose and creating your personal manifesto so you’ll be standing in a place of knowing who you are, where you’re starting from and where you want to go so we can begin to create that life for you next week!

Until then, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Just comment on this post on my blog.

There are always discounts available on hotels in the Austin area. There are discount available even on the best of properties rated four and five stars. The discount can be up to 70% off the rate you would pay the hotel directly. Sometimes with luck and a little research you can book a five star property for a three star price. The best way to find these discounts is to book ahead of time and find advance purchase deals. Be careful though because most advance purchases are nonrefundable if your plans change.

If you are going to be going with a group of people who will need seperate rooms, chances are you could get a group discount. Group discounts on hotels are usually available to groups of nine or more who arrive at the same time to the hotel. Some smaller hotels give group discounts to smaller parties.

You can do all of your research online when you are looking for cheap hotel rooms in Austin. All you have to have is access to the internet. There are a bunch of websites that offer hotel ammenties, pricing and even reviews of the properties so that you can get a feel for what previous guests are saying.

You have to remember that some hotels will cut services provided to discount the rate. You want to make sure they are not doing this before you book. An example is a hotel that includes breakfast sometimes may remove the breakfast option to discount the rate. If you have to spend the money on breakfast, you would be better off booking a slightly higher price that does include breakfast.

The best way to get discounts on hotels in Austin is to book online. Most of the websites online offer hotels at low prices and even guarantee that if you find a lower rate they will match it. Always try to book early by planning your trip in advance.

People tend to take out adjustable rate mortgages when interest rates get lower. The interest rate in these loans can rise and fall, fluctuating with the prime interest rate. What has occurred in recent times is that, when interest rates were lower, lots of individuals took out adjustable rate mortgages whose interest rates have now risen along with the prime interest rate. This has further resulted in higher monthly payments on loans that have caused some people to have their homes foreclosed on.

Typically, a rate of real estate foreclosures is about the same in any given area of the country and when they begin to hit close to home, there may be several foreclosures filed at or near the same time.

However, a family seldom finds solace in knowing they are not alone in losing their home. While some of the embarrassment of losing a home to real estate foreclosures may be softened by knowing it is happening to several people at the same time, it seldom takes the sting out of losing the home.

Families who have worked hard to own their home will often have a first response to the threat of foreclosure of being ready to do whatever is necessary to keep their home. This is not always possible, since most people who are having their homes foreclosed on are already in sore straights financially so getting into more debt is not a good option.

Ignoring Warning Sings Will Not Stop Foreclosure Actions

Persons with a close eye on their financial situation usually see clues that real estate foreclosures are in the future. They may be skipping paying a bill or two to make their mortgage payment only to have to skip the mortgage to keep the electricity and heat turned on. By simply turning a blind eye to the warning signs is not going to help save the home from foreclosure.

Of course, a person can eliminate the threat of home foreclosure most quickly by simply paying the money that they owe their lender. Since the person cannot always do this, though, they will many times just keep doing what they can to pay as many of their bills as possible until they find another way to rectify the situation.

Short of paying all past due payments, talking with the lender and hoping for some understanding and time to get caught up on back payments, homeowners may find no way out of losing their home.

Gifting clothes to your near ones is a difficult task. We all have stories to tell, my grand mother knew how to stretch a dollar. Clothes for her grandkids were always purchased 3 or 4 sizes too big so we could “grow into them”. So, we endured our baggy clothes, with the sleeves and pant legs rolled up, until we were finally big enough to wear them with dignity. By which time they were ready for donation. If you must gift clothes this season, there’s one giftee on your list who’s sure to look great in any outfit you buy him. He’ll wear your gift with pride and appreciation; head held high and tail wagging.

You are guessing right its your dog or your best friends dog. Dogs love any kind of attention from you. So, Spike will show off his outfit – whether it’s cute or ridiculous – as soon as he sees how happy it makes his owner. Spot will eat up all that extra attention he gets from strangers. And Butch might even want to style for the camera.

There is quiet a bit similarity between shopping clothes for dogs and shopping clothes for babies. Unless you’re going for practicality, cuteness is what counts. And that is done easily, given that any Dog Clothes looks pretty cute. There are so many choices in dog clothes from winter sweaters to football jerseys and summer tees. You can get a set of sweet sleep pajamas for bedtime or a terry robe for after bath. There’s even an entire line of Happy Tails Cowboy & Cowgirl Costume for dogs, complete with leather cap and collar. Dog costumes made for parties and holidays are just too cute for words.

There are different dog accessories available that will go with these dog clothes, these include a designer dog collar and maybe a cool pair of sunglasses, they make them now for dogs. Also on the list are Dog necklaces and Dog hats. Making the baby look silly might be a no-no, but its pretty fun when it comes to dressing up a dog. There are some really creative doggie costumes out there that are good for a chuckle or two. There are really only a couple of rules you’ll need to keep in mind when shopping for dog clothes:

One is if the dog is an avid chewer, you should avoid buying him anything tempting. Shiny buttons, fringe, and feathers are examples that come to mind. An object that can easily be chewed off and swallowed is a choking hazard and can get stuck in the dog’s digestive tract. The second is that any dog, no matter how tolerant, will be more comfortable wearing clothes that fit. Proper fit typically requires measuring from the dog’s collar to the base of her tail for length. Most garments girth can be adjusted with Velcro tabs, but could still be an issue with a barrel-chested breed such as a bulldog. Measurements are typically in inches.

Youngsters enjoy doing craftiness tasks, there’s question about it. Just remember youngsters, particularly more childlike youngsters enjoy having their tasks less organized. A practical strategy represents keeping it elemental and entertaining. I completely believe this is accurate as they may be more original and get more enjoyment that way.

Do not understand me wrongly, I arrive at craftiness thoughts for my youngsters and we enjoy many hours of fun with them, only she appears to experience more enjoyment making her personal craftiness thoughts. It’s beneficial to allow the imaginative juices flow in the youth minds.

A couple of years back I shopped at our local goodwill store and purchased alot of craftiness supplies for really small amount of money. I purchased beads, leather, pipe cleaners, glitter, stickers, feathers, yarn, lace, buttons, and simply a ton of crafty typeitems. I put it all in a bigger box with some glue and glue sticks. This is how my girls Creativity package came into being.

We have since added stickers, markers, cotton balls, sequins, and other stuff we find. I bought a big tablet of thick paper and thus her “scrapbook” came into existence. She loves to get it out and create different pages of ideas and creations. She cuts pictures out of magazines and adds them to it as well.

Occasionally she simply arrives at her own craftiness plans from the textiles rather than making her “scrapbooking” and she enjoys herself greatly. The single problem to her scrapbooking is occasionally she utilises more glue and we must wait for it to dry out prior to turning the page and progress to her succeeding creative activity.

Therefore do not always think structure when it comes to craft ideas for younger children. You and they’ll probably have a good deal more fun if you allow their imagination run the project. After all it is their creation so there’s no wrong or right way to do it. Children are less likely to become frustrated if they can’t make their creations appear just like they are suppose to as well.
