If you’re like most moms I talk with, life can be pretty hectic with all the things you need to do and keep track of. Your many roles require you to keep many plates spinning at once.

This includes everything from food shopping and meal preparation, after-school classes and regular homework with your child, time with your partner just to check in and catch-up, your own professional and business activities, managing your money, quality time with your child.

Also, handling concerns about your child including his friends, the tidiness of her room, the clothes he wears, planning family vacations that everyone will enjoy. Plus someone in your family may be struggling with a personal difficulty.

Not to mention finding some quiet, fun time to take care of yourself.

What really causes your stress, overwhelm and exhaustion, however, is not the sheer number of tasks. The cause of your stress is that too many times your family doesn’t work well together getting things done can be harder than they need to be.

You may end up feeling as if you’re doing all the work and that you’re not appreciated for all you do.

Yet there is one thing that has the power to transform your conflicts and challenges so that your career and your family can flourish and be sources of joy and fulfillment for you.

In fact, if you make this your top priority for your family during the coming year, you will be delighted with the progress and changes you and your family make.

This one high priority is to focus on creating a joyous emotional connection with everyone in your immediate family.

If you’re like most busy moms I meet, you too often focus on getting things done, managing circumstances and behavior, and unintentionally neglect your emotional connection with the people you love the very most.

Why is your joyous emotional connection with the people in your family so important? Here are 10 ways it will powerfully benefit you and your family.

A joyous emotional connection –

1. Encourages authentic and honest communication with one another.

2. Allows each person to be who s/he truly is.

3. Virtually eliminates conflict, arguments, angry
disagreements, and hurt feelings.

4. Creates an emotional environment in which everyone works together easily and deeply appreciates one other.

5. Transforms how you resolve conflicts so you can more easily work through life’s inevitable challenges, changes and uncertainties.

6. Frees up your creative ideas, energy and resources so you can use them to create whatever you most want in your career, your business, and your personal life.

7. Creates fun family times that are easy and fulfilling for everyone.

8. Brings out the best and most positive in each individual.

9. Empowers you to create a balanced life for yourself, in which you feel nurtured and fulfilled in all areas of your life.

10. Gives you abundant delight, joy and love, which is the very essence of what you want with your family.

Make creating a joyous emotional connection with everyone in your family your highest priority this year and watch the magic begin! I promise you’ll discover a world of delight and ease that will profoundly nurture your heart and soul.

Joyous wishes for the New Year!

Love & Joy!

The holidays are filled with numerous opportunities
for sweet moments to fill your heart with joy. Here are five quick reminders to
keep you focused in a positive direction.

Find the innocence in everyone’s eyes – your child’s, your partner’s,
your parents or in-laws, those people with whom you share a passing
interaction.

Share the amusement and laughter of an unexpected funny moment.

Seize the opportunity to spontaneously experience a new adventure with
those you love.

Appreciate the amazing abundance of your life.

Do something luxurious to celebrate yourself. (This does not have to cost
money.)

Look forward to the New Year with a profound commitment to yourself and your
family to make the most of every moment you share together.

Joy and Love,

Connie

My husband Doug and I are so enjoying the fun, loving
holiday gatherings with family and friends, and we hope you’re enjoying all of
your holiday festivities. Our 2-year-old grandson Sebastian is eager to open
packages “I open it!” and likes Santa. We all love the magic of sharing
Christmas with him this year.

I’m delighted to be expanding my work to support you
with all of your family relationship challenges, including with your child,
your partner and any other family member.

A family is an interwoven living network, in which
each family member affects the emotional well-being of everyone else. This
means each person has the ability to transform the whole living network.

right now and will be changing soon. I’ll let you know as I add new resources

Want some last-minute ideas to help you keep a
positive focus during your family holiday celebrations, even when a difficult
moment occurs? Read today’s quick Joyous Family Tip for important ideas to see
you through this hectic time of year.

Everyone in our family – Orion, Nichola,
Sebastian, Doug and I – wish you and  those you love deeply the most Joyous of
Holidays!

I hope your Thanksgiving was filled with joy and
appreciation of all the wonderful people and experiences in your life. I
certainly loved celebrating my own abundance with my family and our horses.

The weekend before Thanksgiving, Doug and I planned a
peaceful, romantic weekend for two at our favorite B & B in Mendocino, The
Inn at Schoolhouse Creek. 
A couple of days before we left, Orion and Nichola gave us the opportunity to
include our 2-year-old grandson in our plans.

As you can guess, our weekend became a grandparents’
weekend, not exactly relaxing and definitely fun, invigorating, and deeply
nurturing. Being with Sebastian is being touched with grace and joy…with some
flexibility thrown in for those ‘interesting times.” Here’s a photo that
captures the fun!

I’m so excited about this!

Who in Your Family is Most Challenging for You to
Get Along With?

Several of you have told me recently you need help
with how to handle a specific on-going challenge with someone in your family,
and you really want to do something about it NOW. I have the perfect solution
for you.

During the month of December, I have space for a
limited number of private Family Drama Breakthrough Coaching Sessions, which I
promise will help you have more harmony and joy in your family not only this
holiday season, but throughout the coming year. Provided, of course, you’re
willing and committed to take positive new steps now.

In a Family Drama Breakthrough Coaching Session, we
explore in-depth a repetitive challenging interaction or situation you have
with one of the important people in your family. This can be anyone, including
your child, your spouse, your mother-in-law, or even your own mother.

By the end of the hour, you’ll have a clearer
understanding of what is the root of your difficulty. Plus you’ll know specific
actions you can take immediately to dramatically improve the challenge you are
experiencing with this important person in your life.

I’m only doing these Family Drama Breakthrough
Coaching Sessions in December and have just a few spaces.

So if this sounds interesting to you, send me an
email today. Be sure to include your phone number and a brief description
of the family situation you want to improve.

After I receive your email, I will send you more info
about this transformational opportunity.

Don’t wait on this! Remember, there are only
available this month only. Send me an email today.
