For those of you that unawares, I’m currently a student at the International Coach Academy, a fantabulous school for life coaching. When I received the following notice in their monthly bulletin, I got more & more excited the more & more that I read:

The ripple effect of the huge economic crisis impacting our globe has presented many with difficult or challenging times. We wanted to do something to acknowledge and support our global community and are excited to be announcing next week as ICA’s Positivity week. Our aim is that during the course of the week, with your help, we will bring about as much positive energy as we can. Together we will make a shift in the contribution to global optimism. How can you contribute your positivity, and share in the positivity of others?

I know! I know! Duh, my blog! So, besides offering the usual installments of Motivation Monday, Tough (Question) Tuesday, Freakin’ (Great Links) Friday & wrapping up (Time) Management March, I’ll be sharing some positivity with you each and every day next week. It might be a link, or a picture, or a song, or a video of Annie singing “Tomorrow”- or…uh…ya know, something really cool that non-musical theater nerds like.

I also wanted to pass along the word that ICA is sponsoring a different call every day that features positive stories on a different topics (relationships, perspective, opportunities, etc) – and you don’t have to be a student call in! Sign up here to get all the details.

So, what are you gonna do for positivity week? Leave me a comment so we can spread sunshine all over the place. I mean…uh…oh shoot, it’s no use. I’m a musical theater nerd & I always will be….So deal! But in a positive way…

OK, I'm REALLY slow to jump on the bandwagon, but who cares if it's not officially Positivity Week right this moment. I've decided to make it MY VERY OWN PERSONAL Week-O-Positives.

And, Michelle, you know ME, this is completely unlike me, so consider this HUGE.

(Thud) Did you hear that, Patrick? It was me, falling over. While you have an extremely sunshine-y disposition & crack everyone the hell up, I think of you more as, um, sarcastic than, um, positive. So take it slow – one baby step at a time – & if any of your family or friends think that your body was invaded my aliens you can show 'em this post. You can do it!
