Eat, Pray, Love book and movie, other summer plans

Beth Jones, Jacksonville, FL beach

What are some of your plans this summer?  This week our daughter Leah and I did some “pet sitting” for friends who took a trip to Michigan.  Below is a brief clip of Tucker (red golden retriever) and Grace (part Beagle puppy).  They were always glad to see us as well as the cat, Todd (who’s much more calm than the dogs, who love to jump on you.) Tucker also enjoys playing “soccer,” chasing the ball and picking it up with his teeth after you kick it.

This summer I have a checklist of things to do.  Have you made your checklist?  What are your summer plans?

  • Become more of a student of God’s word
  • Do fun things with my kids and grandkids
  • Take some road trips to someplace new
  • Go on at least a mini-vacation with Ray, ALONE
  • Read some new good books. Eat, Pray, Love is on my list to read -although I do NOT agree with palm reading or eastern meditation!  The movie with Julia Roberts comes out soon, and I can’t wait!   The  trailer’s lines intrigued me – “Who are you?….Risk everything…I used to have this appetite for my life.”   My favorite line that Julia says in the trailer is, “I want to go someplace where I can marvel at something.” 
  • Get at least a little tan (each summer I should win the award for whitest legs)
  • Increase my productivity and fruitfulness for God without being just busier
  • Exercise regulary (3-4 times weekly minimum), applying the ideas from the Fat Loss Motivation Report.
  • Somehow get to the beach this summer!  A must!
  • Have more webinars and prepare for my two speaking engagements in the fall
  • Laugh more – savor the blessing of life from God!

Below,  enjoy the brief clip of the dogs, Tucker and Grace. Don’t you just love dogs’ happy expressions?

Here is the movie trailer from Eat, Pray, Love with Julia Roberts.

3 P’s in a Pod: Prayer, Purpose, Passion webinar a success!

Thanks to all of you who came to my first-ever webinar, 3 P’s in a Pod: Prayer, Purpose, Passion!  God’s presence was there, I believe that the women attending were encouraged, and praise God there were NO technical problems!  GOD IS GOOD!  Praise the Lord!  Each woman attending received bonus goodies just for coming, including my ebook Walking With God. 

Here is some encouraging feedback from Mara, who attended the webinar.  http://hisfave.com/2010/06/what_a_blessing/

Frankly, I was scared to death to do this webinar!  It was a huge step of faith for me. I had never done a webinar before and didn’t know how to do it, but I researched it and talked to a friend who had done them before.  Next, I prepared my power point, posted a blog about it, tweeted about it to invite women to come, and then just stepped out in faith – like Peter getting out of the boat to walk on the water toward Jesus!  

Sometimes we just have to trust God and take that first scary step.  He will be there to help us every step of the way.

I am planning to have more upcoming webinars with other speakers, so if you are not already subscribed on my personal mailing list, be sure to sign up today at the top of the website on the right hand side to stay connected and to get the details.   The next webinar will probably be in July with another speaker, and it is going to be GREAT! 

When you sign up on my mailing list,  you will receive my free special report, Keys To Intimacy. You will also receive articles, audios, ebooks, and other bonus goodies, that will encourage you in your daily walk with God and to fulfill your destiny in Christ.

Today at noon central time, a licensed family counselor, Celeste, with Innervision Christian Counseling, is interviewing me live on air on radio station WMUZ (103.5 FM – The Light)  in Detroit, MI.  The program also plays simultaneously in St. Louis, MO.  Celeste will be talking to me about my testimony, my website, and my products for sale here.  

I will be sharing on 3 steps to your dreams and fulfilling your purpose in Christ.   This was an unexpected blessing this week, and I am very thankful to God for this wonderful opportunity.  You can tune into the station here.
