It’s that wonderful magical time of the year and I want to acknowledge you along with all the people who’ve been part of my life. Whether we met briefly or that we’ve been friends for years or that you are part of my family, I feel so grateful that you have been a part of my life. I hope that I was able to make a difference in yours and I hope to make an even greater impact in years to come.
This past year has been an extremely magical year on a personal basis. The greatest change has been that I married the man of my dreams. I look forward to many happy, magical and adventurous years with him.
A few years ago I began a holiday tradition of picking a Theme for the coming year and I encourage everyone to do the same. It’s an opportunity to color the coming year with a mantra that will guide you and inspire you. My theme for 2010 was Magical Moments. It works!
My theme for 2011 is… drumroll please… ”It’s happening!“ I know this will be a sentence that I will be repeating several times in 2011 as I have several projects that are sure to come to fruition. I have a short film that is being groomed for the 2012 Oscars and 4 feature length scripts which are tentpole films for franchises. YAY! 
Now it’s your turn. Make sure you create a theme for yourself for 2011 and please share it with me by either sending me an email or posting it here.
Season’s Greetings!
Joyeux Noel!
Merry Christmas!
Happy Hanukkah!
Lets make 2011 the best year ever!!!

Today's Topic - QUOTE: Highways and Runways
(Quotes are capsules of information, reinforcement or enlightenment.)
"A mile of highway can take you a mile.
A mile of runway can take you anywhere"
"Llano Larry" of the Llano, Texas airport
(As quoted in Flying Magazine)
Coaching Point: This quote is obviously about more than
highways and runways; more than the difference between
two strips of pavement. It's about perspective. Are you
bound by the concrete of the here and now or do you leave
it behind from time to time and live with the desire to see
what's possible?

Today's Topic - PRINCIPLE: Farce (Principles are basic truths that, when applied, cause success to come to you easier and quicker.)
"May the Farce be with you." Huh?
In the Star Wars movies the line is, "May the Force be with you." The movie line refers to some unseen, powerful, prevailing resource available to help you have your life be better. Whether you agree with that or not, there is another undeniable force at work in your life. It is also unseen, powerful, and prevailing, and it affects your life at least as much as the Force.
It is the stories you've made up that are not true. Self- limiting beliefs like: "I can't." "That's scary." "I'm afraid." "I don't know how."
These stories -- these farces -- keep you imprisoned. These stories keep you from experiencing all that you really are, from performing optimally, from enjoying the full expression of your life.
In the artistic world a farce includes an element of comedy, but you are probably not laughing at your self-limiting stories and certainly not at the results of them.
May the Farce be with you? No. It's may the Farce NOT be with you!
Look into your stories. Resolve them. Break free from the Farce.
Coaching Point: What is one story you're telling yourself right now that just simply is not true?

Here’s another great principle from my friend Steve!
__________________________________________________________ ....S T E V E ' S....3 - M I N U T E....C O A C H I N G Steve Straus - Coach Subscribers: 1550+ Readers: 3100+ 14JUL10 __________________________________________________________ Today's Topic - PRINCIPLE: Second Aid (Principles are basic truths that, when applied, cause success to come to you easier and quicker.) Every Boy Scout and Girl Scout knows about first aid. A 1948 printing of the Boy Scout Manual states that first aid is "the emergency care given to anyone who is badly hurt or who is taken suddenly sick. It is also the immediate care that is necessary to prevent slight injuries from becoming much more serious." Many people are trained and prepared to administer first aid in an emergency situation. But what of second aid? The term sounds jarring because we don't use it, certainly not often. Second aid is what happens after the immediate crisis is over, whether in a medical, life-threatening situation or in our everyday living. Do you have a good ability to jump in and handle sudden situations in your business, family, community, and spiritual life? Are you good at first aid? Many people are quite good at fixing things, moving from problem to problem "putting splints on the breaks" if you will. How is your follow-up, your second aid? Do you look for the core reasons underlying the just-solved problem? Do you create permanent solutions? Do you even enjoy permanent solutions or, instead, get your satisfaction from attacking the next problem? There is no right or wrong here, there is only understanding how you show up and the results you're getting. If you're not interested in second aid, surround yourself with resources which will provide it. If you do like to create permanent solutions, then enjoy doing that. Self-awareness is the key. Coaching Point: Who is the provider of second aid in your life? [Thanks to Penelope Straus (age 9) for inspiring this S3MC.] YOU ARE FREE TO FORWARD THIS. And Thanks! Copyright 2010 Steve Straus.

I created a short film for a film competition with the subject of Respecting Creators’ Rights. Let me know what you think…
