LA, Books, and raising my rates...oh my!

<p>Hey Love,</p>

<p>Just when I think my life can't get any more full, it does! (Know the feeling?) And, as the more resilient parts of the fabric of reality always do, life accommodates. It would be silly of me to complain, because I've asked for every part of what's showing up! </p>

<p>My trip to LA was wonderful, and productive. I got to stay with friends in the Hollywood hills, step into the world of literature with other lit geeks like me, go for a run in Runyun Canyon (still one of my favorite places in LA), and step back into the jet-setting part of my life again for a minute.</p>

<p>My favorite moments in the trip were; 1. sitting in the hot tub, winding down after a long day at the Book Expo, laughing with friends...city lights sprinkled like fairy dust beneath us in the dark, twinkling, and vast starscape that is the LA basin at night... 2. spending time with intriguing friends, new and old, at the Figueroa Hotel during a sweet little industry party...and 3. meeting with the future publishers of my next book...yay!)</p>

<p>And, just like that, life expands!</p>

<p>My agent has stepped into contract negotiations with a few houses regarding my new title. (I'll tell you all about it once it's placed with the appropriate house. Isn't the anticipation killing you? Me, too!!!!)</p>

<p><B>So, what does this mean for you? If you've been thinking of coaching with me, now is the time.</b></p>

<p>Last month I had three new coaching and mentoring clients sign on (welcome!!!), and <b>I have room for only three more new clients</b> this month. Once those slots are filled, I won't be taking on any new one-on-one coaching clients for a number of months, so I can make time in my schedule for writing.</p>

<p><b>Two Personal Retreats Available:</b></p>

<p>On a related note, I have made available two slots for personal retreats. If you're ready to treat yourself to a weekend of revisioning, realigning, relaxing, and moving into greater wholeness, this is the option for you! AND, as a bonus for those of you who are ready to make a commitment to  this level of acceleration in your growth now, I will offer a three-month coaching program as a bonus. (To begin now, or after the in-person retreat. Your choice.)</p>

<p>Of course, this leaves only ONE coaching slot.</p>

<p>Whether you're interested in a coaching program, a mentoring relationship, or  are ready to indulge yourself in a full weekend of facilitated, nurturing, integration-oriented "Me Time", the time is now. I'm waiting for you to take the next step.</p>

<p><b>Raising My Rates:</b></p>

<p>As the wisdom goes, when the roster gets too full, it's time to raise rates! So, this is a heads-up that my coaching and mentoring rates will be raised on summer solstice, June 20. One more reason to act NOW. </p>

<p>Sorry to be all business this post, but I'm on deadline for a chapter and a marketing plan! Gotta get back to the page.</p>

<p>Lotsa love, and have a peaceful day,</p>
