Make up to 10,000 Every Time You Travel

I'm passionate about travel experiences, and know I'll eventually be traveling while still earning an income that supports me fully.  And regardless of where I'm headed in life, I'll continue to connect people to valuable resources (and other people).   It's my life mission!

Tonight while reading this blog post I had a fire lit in my belly again! I've wanted to start a tour company for as long as I can remember.  The idea of being able to bring people with me on some of the amazing adventures I've had, is what propelled me to start "Travel with Me" , and to become an independent travel agent, and to work so very hard at moving my business from purely consulting, to having products and courses that I can deliver from anywhere in the world.

Twice today I've looked at information about Ecuador, and I keep thinking about the time spent there with Sandra Yancey & the e-women network. I'd LOVE to create a similar experience (meeting with micro-loans communities, time for masterminding & business brainstorming, and developing deep friendships). Maybe this dream isn't so far off, after all?

Create Your Own Niche Tours
Creating tours is a lot of fun. It allows you to get paid to travel with like-minded people—and you can start without quitting your day job. Above are the basic big steps to getting started, but creating your own tours isn’t just about the intangible benefits like freedom, sense of pride, and excitement. It can also be a lucrative side business. Find out how Cynthia makes $3,000 to $10,000 profit on every tour here: www.thetravelwriterslife.com/tur/il/.

Compassion

 Compassion

To be able to put oneself in another's position, to be able to see and to feel as another person does, this is the rare gift of an earnest spiritual seeker.  ~ Amma Mata Amritanandamayi, Indian Spiritual leader

 The angel Compassion softens your heart with tears of understanding.  This angel brings you a tender, pure love that melts the most hardened heart and transforms pain into love. 

Was your heart broken by a loss in your life?  Heartbreak can send you in two directions.  One is to close down in anger or fear and become hard-hearted or numb.  The other is to tolerate the intolerable feelings of pain by focusing on the love that is at the core of the pain.  This is a pain that comes from love.  You wouldn't feel the pain if you hadn't loved.  Pain like this can help to open your heart so you can experience greater love.  When someone dies, for example, the family often comes together in love, allowing old wounds to wash away in the tears of the loss.

From "Angel Love" by Kimberly Marooney

Actions to take:

• Listen ~ be open to feeling what the other person feels
• Read about Amma Mata Martianandamayi in the book Women of Power and Grace
• Write in a journal about what has happened to you, how you may be preventing yourself from loving others, and even yourself.  Allow yourself to cry as you write.
• Gather tissues and pillows and music that will allow you to feel comforted.  Allow your heart to melt with love.
• Share compassion with others who are suffering loss.

Listen to the following pieces of music.

Jan Arden, "Time for Mercy"

Melissa Ethridge, "Precious Pain"

James Horner, "Main Title"

James Horner, "A gift of a Thistle"

James Horner, "the Secret Wedding"

James Horner, "for the Love of a Princess"

Are you playing your Best Game?

I wrote this letter (to myself?) on June 22, 2009, and referenced the music video you see above.
Ethan Lipton and his Orhestra:

Don't go with your song still inside you!

Let it guide you, everyday

We all know that it's good to be humble

but don't fumble

don't grumble

don't mumble..... your life away!

Have you looked inside recently?  Have you seen the clutter and jumble, the unwrapped gifts?  The crumpled papers and reminders?  Is there, a laundry list longer than your arm and a promise left unspoken?

It doesn't surprise me at all.  If you're anything like me, you've left a lot of things unsaid, unfinished or "unstarted".  But you know you've got to, right?

It's time to COME OUT!

You have a bigger game to play.  You have a calling, a passion, a desire ~ to help, to serve, to "solve a problem", to restore the confidence of one other human being.  You are being called to BE who YOU ARE!

Not what society thinks you should do.  Not the perfect mother, perfect business owner, perfect double income earner, perfect athlete with a perfect body,
