Agate helps strengthen self-esteem
Agate is a slow-working stone, suitable for those who do not want to rush change
The things you own should be beautiful, useful or well loved
When I ask clients what they long for, the most common responses are “peace,” “space” and “freedom.” Clutter keeps us from achieving these goals, and we spend hundreds of thousands of dollars buying larger homes. Empty space is more valuable—psychologically and physically—than almost any object.
With this in mind, walk into any room of your home and focus on 10 random objects. As you consider each, ask yourself (1) Do I truly need it?; (2) Do I truly adore it?; and, (3) Would I trade inner peace for this? The answers can help curb your pack-rat impulses, allowing you to clear out and move on.

Employee to Entrepreneur

-“I don’t know how to market myself effectively. I don’t know how to take my business full-time. I don’t know how to create my programs/sales funnels/website.”
Obviously, building an online business requires you to eventually figure out WHAT to do and HOW to do it. BUT, when you figure out what you want, start to visualize the desired outcome and begin to take steps towards it, the way will be shown. 👉🏻

It will be shown to you via the right programs, resources, people and coaches showing up at the right time. When the student is ready, the teacher appears.

Elderberries are tiny and blue-black, wonderful for baking and also for making into wine
Elderberries are tiny and blue-black, wonderful for baking and also for making into wine. The history of elderberry wine in England and in Central and Eastern Europe goes back hundreds of years—it was particularly popular in 17th century England as a purported cure for the flu and the common cold.
The unripe berries and other parts of the plant have very mild toxic properties, which are neutralized when they are cooked or fermented. Even ripe berries can sometimes contain the alkaloids which will make you sick; it's best to be on the safe side and always cook or ferment them.
Elderberry Muffins
2 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup milk
¼ cup applesauce
1 cup fresh or frozen elderberries
Stir together dry ingredients. Beat egg, applesauce and berries together. Stir berry mix into dry mix until well moistened. Bake in greased (or lined) muffin tins at 425º for 15-20 minutes. Makes 12-14 muffins
Elderflowers come from the same plant as elderberries, and have a heady fragrance and floral flavor, perfect for infusing into syrups, sodas, or cordials. (You've probably tried St. Germain before, but the homemade stuff is worth the effort.)

Steve Jobs's Philosophy
92. "We did iTunes because we all love music. We made what we thought was the best jukebox in iTunes. Then we all wanted to carry our whole music libraries around with us. The team worked really hard. And the reason that they worked so hard is because we all wanted one. You know? I mean,the first few hundred customers were us."
72. "Good PR educates people; that's all it is. You can't con people in this business. The products speak for themselves."
50. "There's an old Wayne Gretzky quote that I love. 'I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.' And we've always tried to do that at Apple. Since the very very beginning. And we always will."
47. "You've got to start with the customer experience and work back toward the technology - not the other way around."
42. "I am saddened, not by Microsoft's success - I have no problem with their success. They've earned their success, for the most part. I have a problem with the fact that they just make really third-rate products."
35. That's been one of my mantras -- focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end, because once you get there, you can move mountains.
38. "Getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life."
12. You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something new.
A perfectionist's task is never complete after discovering the initial solution. The quality Jobs' sought in his products were a direct result of painstaking attention to detail at every level. His dedication to providing quality products to consumers fueled his search for the best solution, not merely a solution.
