Five Tips for August Renewal
From: Pamela McLean
1. Make a list of activities you loved when you were under the age of 25, post your list in a visible place for a few days -- then pick one activity to resurrect and try it on for the month.
2. Take a mini-vacation that requires only a little planning -- make it within driving distance of home and somewhere you haven't been.
3. Take a day long silent retreat in you home -- no email, no phones, no television, just YOU.
4. Scan 2008, looking back and looking at the months ahead -- create two columns on a blank page -- one side for what's working and the other for what needs adjusting -- brainstorm on ways to make small adjustments.
5. Make time for dreaming big dreams without any requirements to act on them --- just allow a bit of space to wander in unknown territory! Who knows where you might lead yourself!

Small successes “radiate out” into all domains of your life...
From Sandy Davis' latest newsletter:
When you become highly successful at keeping your agreements to do whatever daily practices you take on, you are likely to become successful at keeping all your other agreements, as well. Just start by taking great care of yourself and your own personal energy. Faithfully do your simple daily practices as a way to pay yourself first. Then let your successes with your daily practices “ripple out” to all the other domains in your life. They normally do.
What is uplifting is having the feeling that you are constantly “at choice.” When you willingly choose the particular challenges you’d like to face and then face them successfully, you gain a measure of personal sovereignty. You develop a sense that you are in charge of your own life and that you are capable of being as resourceful as you need to be to “make ends meet.”
