Happy New Year!

Welcome to this New Year...2010 and a Great New Decade!

As I look back at the past 10 years all I can say is wow! and remark with some sweat...That All Happened?! It just amazes me to know that life is certainly a thrill ride! Well, here we are ready for a new life's adventure. Here at Resilience Living there are quite a few projects going on. The first one is to continue to work on letting all you know what we are all about and what we are doing. It is our goal to always present some info and thought on how we can help you with your life whether it is personal or professional. Think of one project you plan to work on this week. Do you know what your plans are to move along with this project or are you still in the thinking stages on what to do. Remember to have Resilient attitude. Don't let small things get in the way of moving ahead with your project. Be Resilient! Having resilience is like having a "Not Giving Up" attitude. Yes..frustrating moment can appear however, with a resilient attitude you first of all know that you will find away to move forward. In other words ...keeping the bouncing ball moving along with your project along with an "In The Moment" Attitude.

Remember...All we do is always dependent on what is happening now(Not in the future or in the past.) As I write this New Year's Message, the thoughts on how special it is to have come this far with Resilience Living. The Resilience Living bouncing ball just found itself laying around for days. However, with support from within as well as situations...the ball started leaping up in the air again. That is what life is all about. I personally know that lives have been impacted by this work. Resilience Living is thriving and striving to make a difference in this world. All paths are not known however, the most important part is being there for you right now. Bringing to you an opportunity to know what is to be Resilent in no matter what you do!

Questions have been asked about the meaning of Resilience and being Resilient. So right now I want you to think of the bouncing ball as it pertains to your life. Being Resilient really comes down to facing challenges however small and turning them into opportunities for success. That in a nutshell is "Resilience." At this moment, plans are being set to bring exciting events to you via the internet as well as in person. Remember...as you are reading this New Year's message, please read it and know we are there for you. If your bouncing ball does not have a place to go let us be apart of helping you with your direction. Write to us. As a part of Resilience Living ...Resilient Life Network is made up of many coaches who can help with your plans. Ask us a question...the Network of Coaches are phenominal. We will find just the right coach to help you get that bouncing ball going again or helping you redirect it. Remember, you are at the helm and steering your work and passion. We are there to help you as a guide.

Remember, we all have gifts within us to carry forth into the real world. Don't just think about what your passion is let's heat up that passion and share it with others.

May you have a fantastic New Year, 2010! Look forward to visiting with you!

Longevity and Curiosity

Message from Beth Cole and her report on Longevity and Curiosity

A group of Centenarians recently had a gathering in Tucson , Arizona . More than 40 people between the ages of 100 and 104 met to discuss their lives. Also on hand were physicians, psychologists, social workers and those who work with the aging. In addition to having quite a good time, they discussed longevity. While many of the seniors and the professionals thought that connection to other individuals may have been the most important contributory factor to the well being of these individuals, several who had been single for most or all of their lives proved that that might not be as singularly important as it was initially thought. What became profoundly apparent in each and every one of those who reached beyond the 100 year mark was that each was found to be curious.

I hope you will find this as interesting as I did. Do you wonder? Are you curious? If not, how can wonderment and curiosity be increased?

These individuals were born between 1905 and 1909 – can we even imagine how much the world has changed during their lifetimes? Asked if they thought they would see so many changes, most answered that they hadn’t expected to live any where near as long as they did. They mentioned that they rarely spent much time thinking about their pasts because they lived very much in the moment. (How is that for good advice?)

I keep going back in my mind to the fact that the professionals found them all curious. Traditionally we think of children as curious. It’s clear that a certain population of adults is also higher on the curiosity scale than most.

And, isn’t it wonderful that we can all become “curiouser” and “curiouser.” It’s not only so that we can maybe live longer but I’ll bet our lives would be better if we were. Let’s go for it!

"In The Moment" and You

Greetings to all,

I just came home from having dinner with friends. Each had experienced a hectic day in their own way...One was working in the bank, one was working with emergency care patients in the hospital, one was packing all day in preparation for selling her home. There I was just enjoying the laughter and stories from my three friends. One would never have known that they all had had such a stressful day. As we chatted away I do not think any of us realized that the restaurant was so busy nor how many times the waiter came to refill our ice tea glasses. We were so engaged in each others stories...some I think received a bit of the creative touch to see how far fetched they could go with their stories. I must say it was a lively and peaceful time after a hectic and involved day.

With friends and "In The Moment" Experiences, "Present Time" brings such meaning to life. The future nor the past does not invade such present moments as being with friends and enjoying each other unconditionally. This experience is just one of many that happens throughout the day. Just think about it. We have some moments that a fleeting ...just a quick siting from the window on viewing a bit of nature unfold before us. In my case ...love watching the hummingbirds at the feeder. Amazes me over and over again how their little wings can move so quickly as they move in so many different directions.

How about you? I would love to hear about your "In The Moment" Experiences. I, also, invite you to join me and belong to "In The Moment" Club. The membership cost is only to experience being "In The Moment" and sharing it with others.

July Coaches Notes from Beth Cole

When life gets a little too crazy…



We can resist or we can go along for the ride. Many of us go with the former. The incident that happened is likely not part of our plan and so we grit our teeth, tighten our muscles and plan warfare – none of these options are good for us and what’s more – it doesn’t help to fight against a force bigger than us. Aikido has a great technique for warding off an attacker – you join in the attacker’s motion from which you gain your own power and then you can take care of yourself.



The point is to use energy wisely. Accept what has happened the best that we can for the moment, then go along with the situation until finally our creativity and strength return and we can prepare for a new day.



Humor helps!



Sanity will return or a new definition of what makes sense will make us wonder why we fought the episode that started the whole thing.



While I wish you no craziness in your own life, I know it’s going to happen and I hope you can relax your way through it. For most of us, this is something we learn over and over. Just another experience – no big deal (after the time passes, huh?)

Three Gifts

copyright June 2009

Three gifts I was given
pen in hand
Writing and Riding is who I am

Who would have known
only One always knew
that my true path
would always come through

Believe in yourself and conquer
dreams showing light and wonder
Knowing before it happens
Feeling the thought
God comes through
all that we do
Writing and Riding
bring out what is true

The third gift one very special
was given to me to use carefully

Messages come in loud and clear
letting me know what will be
Doesn't matter what it is
The universe opens up and the answers appear

Tune in to how it feels
as the thoughts come and go
Time doesn't exist
as you well know

This other place that seems to be
between two worlds so apart but so near
Always present if you have the ear
to listen intently and learn
that the universe is there
to meet all that you yearn

It can happen anywhere
eating lunch or shopping
When a thought pops in
and you suddenly know
what's around the corner
for you or a friend in tow

Over the years it settled in me
that horse and pen will always be
the best way to connect
with what has always been around me
Some say they're angels
Some say they're family
I say thank God for these gifts
that I may always see
at any age in any place
what is most important to me
always dear is my family

One horse very special
an old soul is he
helping me along
on this most interesting journey
