KRISTINA'S WEEKLY EMAIL OF THOUGHT-PROVOKING ESSAYS & VIDEOS TO KEEP YOU CONNECTED TO YOURSELF ON THIS JOURNEY CALLED LIFE
|
Greetings!
I hope you are enjoying this holiday season and that you take some time as we end this year, and DECADE (?!), to think about the most important things you'd like to accomplish in 2020 - and your life in general - and let go of everything else that's trivial or not relevant. We're at a time when we have to
cut to the chase in at least one area of our life and make some bigger leaps as we enter a new era. But
before you move forward you have to know where you've been, where you are now and build upon that.
My tradition every Dec. 31st is to go through my calendar and journal to see what the heck actually happened! Time flies too fast and so much is going on all at once it's easy to lose track and think you haven't done anything when you have.
Remember there is INTERNAL progress as well as EXTERNAL progress -
i.e. your outer world might look the same but you could feel better mentally and/or emotionally, have learned something or gained a new perspective, positive habit etc...how did your 2019 shake out? In keeping with that theme, I do a PGG review each year as well - you can see that story below :) And believe it or not,
January 5th will mark the 10th(!) Anniversary
of these quirky essay eNewsletters! I'd love your help in celebrating this milestone, so please
take a few minutes to complete this survey
to let me know how PGG has helped/inspired/motivated you, how often you read or share it, if you have the book etc.... For this week's
Instagram post
, I offer
my take on the holidays
and my
PGG Video of the week
has
some thoughts about ending the decade and beginning a new one.
As always, please feel free to
let me know
your feedback about any and all that I'm doing.
Wishing you a Peaceful, Prosperous and Profound 2020 and Beyond!
<3 Kristina

PGG Year in Review
Be a rainbow in somebody else's cloud.
~ Maya Angelou
Life is, well, LIFE, and it's getting more extreme and complex as the days go by.
Each week my intention is to provide a metaphorical rainbow to your journey through my PGG essays
(which now include an introductory note with a complementary Instagram post and YouTube video ;)
I take a look at what's going on in the world, my life, my clients' lives, or usually a combination of them all, and
I think about what theme might offer a little help, hope and/or happy to your day.
Perhaps it's some food for thought or a new perspective as you head into each weekend. Or maybe it's just
knowing that you're not the only one experiencing and feeling the things that you do at that moment.
And this last week in December is when I do
a review of all the new PGGs I wrote over the past year
and YIKES, it looks like there were only two?? (However, since last year
I do write new content
with a specific message in the "Note from Kristina" section above which counts a bit, plus I am working on my second book .... okay I don't feel
so
bad now!) Anyways, I can't believe that we are here.
Regardless of the lack of "new" PGGs in 2019, the fact is that there are
folks being added to my list all the time, so the approximately 150 essays in rotation will always be new to many of you
, and for those of you who are getting a rerun often didn't read it the first or second time around, or maybe you did but now is when it really resonates and makes sense for you. It's pretty cool how that works, and
amazing I can republish so many that feel as relevant today as when I first wrote them.
Throughout the decade many of you have shared with me that a particular PGG was exactly what you needed to hear, or it inspired you to take action or it helped you feel better somehow. I would love to hear from as many of you as possible so that I can share some PGG stories in my anniversary email next week.
Here is the survey link
for you to let me know how
you
have benefited from PGG :)
Below are the two original PGGs from 2019, but please know that
you can always go to my blog to see the archive from every week/month/year
, and there are also several on my
Medium
page, which are great for sharing :)

From Tiny to Mighty
I'm always saying “the acorn doesn’t become an oak tree overnight,” but I never really thought about what it takes for that oak tree to continue to grow and withstand the multitude of external forces once it becomes a tree.
Major League Player
When asked what her secret is, she says it’s not about the number but about how young you are in spirit. And also, a big key is to be interested in others: “In order to be interesting you have to be interested in other people.”
