 Hello {!name_fix},
Definitely in excited mode—getting ready to travel to Maryland, USA, for Christine Kloser's Transformational Author Breakthrough workshop—by the time you read this I will be there; Yay! Baltimore here I come! I'm meeting up with my dear colleague, friend and mentor, Louise Crooks and just know that as well as lots of learning and transformation, we are going to have a lot of fun too. Promise to tell you all about it in my next ezine.
We are coming up to the last part of the year and I'd love to get you thinking about how the year is going for you so far. Do you need to adjust your thinking? Is everything right on track? If you've been following me for a while, you'll know just how important I believe it is to set systems in place to ensure there are only pleasant surprises at the end of the year. If you'd like to set up a year review session with me, I'd be happy to help you take a look and see how you can end the year on a really positive note both personally and financially.
Remember to take action, and set yourself up now by laying out your goals, desires and dreams and discover how you are going to achieve them by making a plan that you can easily implement... it would be my honour to help you with this, whilst also learning how you can make a real difference in the world.
For now, I would like to remind you that you have the opportunity of a free 30-minute consultation with me to discuss where you are in your life, what problems you may be facing and discover what your solutions are. Please remember to click on my Skype link or email me (susie@susiebriscoe.com) to schedule a time.
Let me know your thoughts but for now, sit back, favourite mug of hot drink in hand, and settle down for a comfortable chat with a friend.
Loving hugs,

Learn To Solve Your Problems
by Susie Briscoe
 What percentage, in a class of 30 students, would agree with you that mathematics is a great subject? You might answer "around 10% to 35%" and that is all. True, most kids today are not thrilled to solve mathematical equations, not because they do not know the processes involved, but because of the lack of interest in it.
In a similar way, our daily activities do not mean 100% joy and 0% problems. At times, we have more problems than joy. Fortunately, some individuals are skilled in handling problems right. Want to know their secrets?
Well, carefree people, as some might call them, have one thing in common: optimism. These kinds of people do not mean they never had problems before. Try remembering a colleague, a relative, a friend, or someone from your community who has the brightest smile at the start until the end of the day. How many times did you see that person frown? Carefree people are fun to be with, because their attitude is contagious. Have you tried asking them how they carry their problems lightly? Below are their secrets:
• Learn to control your feelings by separating negative feelings from positive thoughts. This is the first step in solving problems. Only after you have cleared your mind with unnecessary thoughts can you start solving your problems accordingly.
• Treat each problem as a challenge and an opportunity for self-improvement.
• Free that scapegoat attitude. Are you pointing your finger or blaming others for mishaps? Take responsibilities for your mistakes. No one is perfect, so never put the blame on others.
• Use a pen and paper, and rate the depth of the problem and possible answers to your problem. Probability law principle will allow you to evaluate how far you have thought of resolving your problems.
• Keep a journal and treat it as a "secret friend" who is always willing to listen to your grievances. Write your feelings freely.
• Develop a noteworthy hobby, for this will help you lessen or minimize stress in your life.
• Take time off from work and create variations of your daily schedule. Relax and check out the best movies in town. Travel and meet new wonderful people. You will find these activities worthwhile in the long run.
The above tips will help you optimize those positive feelings of yours. Say you are already consumed by some problems. Here are the 1-2-3 steps in doing your problem solving:
1. Determine the root cause of the problem. If you think it is difficult, ask hundreds of why's and what's and you will soon find out the cause.
2. Think, strategize, and act for resolution.
3. Develop a strong desire to solve the problem.
4. Review the situation for you to avoid repeating the same mistakes committed beforehand.
Consider that everybody experiences lowliness many times, but problems are problems. They are there not to annoy you; but problems are created when you cannot accept your limitations. Once you accept your limitations, problem solving is just a 1-2-3 step, hassle-free, and a life-sharpening experience indeed. Hence, never consume or lock yourself in your room when a problem strikes. Think that problems are states of your being limited to something you need the most. But if you cannot have that important thing, accept it. Let go and you will free yourself with worries. Remember, less worries mean less problems. If you think that you really want some time out because of problems, consider that there is another room available for you called "improvement."
Remember to call, Skype or email me if you'd like to explore how I can support you in this.

 Among The Rocks
by Robert Browning
Oh, good gigantic smile o' the brown old earth,
This autumn morning! How he sets his bones
To bask i' the sun, and thrusts out knees and feet
For the ripple to run over in its mirth;
Listening the while, where on the heap of stones
The white breast of the sea-lark twitters sweet.
That is the doctrine, simple, ancient, true;
Such is life's trial, as old earth smiles and knows.
If you loved only what were worth your love,
Love were clear gain, and wholly well for you:
Make the low nature better by your throes!
Give earth yourself, go up for gain above!
 Robert Browning (7 May 1812 - 12 December 1889) [photographed circa 1888] was an English poet and playwright whose mastery of dramatic verse, especially dramatic monologues, made him one of the foremost Victorian poets.
Born in Camberwell, London
Died (aged 77) in Venice, Italy |

 "Susie, it has been a pleasure to connect and work with you over the last few weeks. I was not sure what to expect when I decided to participate in the program; however, I am very pleased that I did. In my opinion this is purely because of whom you are and the knowledge and skills you brought to the program.
Your ability to manage each session with precision and freely sharing your experience and knowledge allowed me to see past where I was. I honestly have to say that you literally pulled me out of an emotional hole. I was stuck. I was especially impressed when you quickly offered up solutions and alternatives so that I can move forward.
Your expert guidance has given me new insights into my own self, abilities and the many possibilities that await my exploration.
Thank you for caring and for the wonderful support you gave."

 I was given this quote by Linda Claire Puig, (my newsletter/ezine mentor) and want to share it with you because: I just LOVE it!
"There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open."
- Martha Graham
 Martha Graham (11 May 1894 - 1 April 1991) [picture by Yousuf Karsh (1948)] was an American modern dancer and choreographer whose influence on dance has been compared with the influence Picasso had on the modern visual arts, Stravinsky had on music, or Frank Lloyd Wright had on architecture.
She danced and choreographed for over 70 years. Graham was the first dancer ever to perform at the White House, travel abroad as a cultural ambassador, and receive the highest civilian award of the USA: the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In her lifetime she received honours ranging from the Key to the City of Paris to Japan's Imperial Order of the Precious Crown. She said, in the 1994 documentary "The Dancer Revealed", "I have spent all my life with dance and being a dancer. It's permitting life to use you in a very intense way. Sometimes it is not pleasant. Sometimes it is fearful. But nevertheless it is inevitable."

I'm not sure if you've heard about the commemorations taking place at the Tower of London for the centenary of the 1st World War. One particularly impressive venture is the planting of a ceramic poppy for every life that was lost during this most terrible war. I just wanted to share this visually with you, and let you know that these poppies are available to purchase as a lasting memento—I've just bought one in memory of my own paternal grandfather, Albert Henderson.
