Hi All You Buzzers!

Hope you are having a beautiful week end! Mary Jones author and radio host & lovely friend to Jaki’s Buzz will be blogging for us once a month. Here is her post below. Enjoy! If you haven’t yet caught her episode of Jaki’s Buzz, don’t miss it, catch it now at http://youtu.be/wNzJbK8WCzg!

 

Mary Jones’ Monthly Challenge!

I have been doing Challenges each month on my talk show for 6 years. They began as an alternative to resolutions, which I’ve never been a fan of. Honestly, I couldn’t even kid myself that I was going to commit to something for a full year. Not going to happen. But, I felt I could commit to something for one month, assuming it was something I was interested in, or truly wanted to work on in my life. One month…I could do that. My Monthly Challenges were born!

My Jan Challenge was a tough one…a 30-Day Rejuvenation Make-Over. We focused on something different each day. So, for February, I wanted to make it easier. So, I decided it would be…Have Some Fun!! No need to focus on improving any facet of your life this month! Once a week for the month, plan and do something that is totally FUN! Something you haven’t done in a long time but thoroughly enjoyed last time you did….or, something you haven’t ever done but have always wanted to. Each week, think outside your normal activity and routine and incorporate at least one enjoyable, silly activity. Part of this challenge is to force yourself to think about what you find to be fun, what you truly enjoy. (It’s a gift we all should give ourselves regularly…this is the time to start!) Have Some Fun!!

Mary Jones is Host of The Mary Jones Show and co-host of Leatherneck & Lace, heard daily on WDRC-AM and it’s 4 CT affiliates. She is the Co-Editor of Women & Friendship in the Thin Thread book series, Co-Author of Incredible Life, and contributing writer of The Power of Persistence.

Hello all you buzzers out there! Check out this great book review by our own Lisa Durkee. I think this book is a MUST BUY!
Book review of Hard Target by Howard Gordon– co creator of Homeland and the Executive Producer of Awake, 24 and The X files
For the love of Kate, Gideon Davis, a former international peacemaker, resolves to make his new quieter, academic life work. But fate has other plans. An unexpected conversation, a murdered informant and a nagging feeling pull him into a puzzle of national proportions. Unable to deny his trained instincts, he’s is face with risking his life and that of his brother to save the very government that betrayed them both.
A story of all to realistic possibilities, Hard Target challenges us to pull back the political curtain and view the flesh and blood cost of national security. Howard Gordon provides a crisp and fast paced narrative delving the reader into the suspenseful rollercoaster ride of conspiracy.

Hello all you buzzers out there!

Hope you are having a beautiful week filled with laughter and sun shine buzzing smiles:) Here is a new blog from our brand new guest blogger Carlos Rivera! Let’s give him a BUZZZZZZZZING WELCOME.

“There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.”

I can be found on Facebook by Pro Bodybuilder Carlos Rivera and on Twitter by Carlos A. Rivera @rivers715

As Woman we are pulled in many different directions, kids, career, home care, marriage, etc. etc. Leaving little time for US! As caregivers to others, we are often left stressed and tired.

I was no exception, so when Anne Garland’s event came around, I was a bundle of tired nerves, but loving Anne Garland and always in awe of her events, I knew I couldn’t miss it! I had gone the year before and really enjoyed myself. This year www.JakisBuzz.com has really grown tremendously, in part thanks to some great advice by Anne Garland, so I knew I would come away feeling better/learning something etc.

I got way more then I ever expected this year!! It was in one word AMAZING!!

Empowerment was this year’s theme.  Focus was on career, body/health and spirit. The day began with a light breakfast followed
by a panel of empowered women who have faced their demons and came out winners.  AM Emcee was my pal, the always delightful,
entertaining Lisa Wexler, author and radio talk show host of The Lisa Wexler Show, Fairfield County’s favorite radio personality three years in a row.

 

This year’s extraordinary lineup of speakers empowered and inspired US! Event featured local celebrities, free massages, makeover models, fall fashion updates, social media, beauty and health tips and even cooking. I learned a lot about branding from straight talking, smart and sassy Leslie Singer of SingerSalt Co. in her Empowerment through Branding talk. Leslie please, please come work with Jaki’s Buzz… I got motivated to be better with time management so I could put to use some tips I learned in the Organizational Power workshop taught by author Lisa Lelas who’s also creater/host of Simply Organized and was seen on Oprah and the Today Show. I will need to buzz with these wonderful ladies in future, so look out for them!

Afternoon Emcee and Keynote was the wise and wonderfully inspiring Dr. Dorthy Martin-Neville, Ph.D, international speaker, healer, and author who has empowered many a soul! Her speech was such a deep and powerfully touching experience, we all stood up to give this amazing lady a standing ovation! She motivated us all to stop making excuses, stop giving our power away and to truly live the most divine life possible!! I’ve been lucky enough to interview both of these unique, inspiring women for www.JakisBuzz.com

You can see Dorothy Martin-Neville’s interview at http://youtu.be/Bt_AmisERbg and Lisa Wexler’s interview both by herself  here http://youtu.be/fn56U9aPNEQ and with her mom and celebrity sister Jill Zarin at http://youtu.be/LM8lil9cRm8

Closing keynote was the very humorous Scot Haney, WFSB Channel 3 and his beautiful Mom – (a cancer survivor) was one of the fashion models for this event.

I listened, I laughed, I made new friends, I relaxed and remembered what was important. I also vowed to not give away my power anymore! I truly did walk away from this amazing event thinking that our life possibilities are endless and how I must continue to go to events like these, to connect and walk the path with other amazing inspiring souls!

I’m already looking forward to Anne Garland’s next Idea Circle for Women event! I will need to keep with me the lessons from this beautiful day, which for me is a struggle, but I will do my best.

Isn’t this what life is truly about?
