It is a brand new year! Are you ready…or, are you a bit reluctant? Busting at the seams to kick off your New Year…or, are you just sick at the thought of yet another year? Reaching your resolutions…or…are they already a bust?

How would you like a friend to come alongside of you and help you to kick off this year on the right track? Would you like to have a friend help you get a good look at where you have been, where you are, and where you want to go? Would you like someone who can help you set REACHABLE resolutions for this year? I can help (AND…it is NOT too late!).

Let’s reach our resolutions TOGETHER!

It is so easy to get caught up in the flurry of the holiday season. There is so much to do. There are so many demands. NO TIME TO PLAN! Is this your story? Are you upset that it is January and you have not had ONE MINUTE to rest, much less plan or make resolutions.

Or, maybe you made your resolutions but they are already busted….

• Read through the Bible (in 90 days???)
• Lose Weight
• Get in shape
• Get out of debt
• Quit _______ (something!)
• Break that bad habit
• Organize the house
• Save some money
• Get back in church
• Write that book
• ___Fill in the blank__

Do you relate?

Or, maybe you decided that this year you were not going to set silly resolutions again because you hate that nasty feeling–a mixture of something like….

Being behind
Guilt
Condemnation
Failure
Defeat
Fear
Frustration
Aggravation
and…reservation about EVER making another resolution!

Felt it? Been there, done that over and over and over? I TOTALLY understand!

What would you do if you could reach your resolutions? Would you dare to do it with me? Well, beloved, YOU CAN! I will show you how!

I have a jam-packed retreat planned just in time to kick off the New Year on the right track.

Just look at the topics that we are going to cover:

I. To Make Resolutions or NOT????

Covers…
Why Resolutions???
Why Resolutions Don’t Work

Discover Cindy’s Secrets for Reaching Your Resolutions This Year!

Are you sick and tired of going year-after-year-after -year as though you are on a treadmill–doing a lot of STUFF but not getting anywhere? Do you pull back to plan each year, but find those plans taunting you instead of helping you reach for your goals, resolutions, and dreams?

Are you enjoying a sweet week? I am! I have been working hard to get ready for our Thanksgiving. I made a goal last month that I wanted to work bit-by-bit so I did not have a big, exhausting frenzy the last few days. Well, I am glad to announce that SO FAR, SO GOOD! ha!

Today has been a lazy day–quiet before the storm? ha! I spent the day finishing up some updates for my shopping cart. My to-do actually read, “Add the newest products to the Shopping Carts online.” Well, I had NO IDEA that there were so many of my newest sets that were not available all year long. AND–these are the very best EVER! You guys are going to LOVE these! More on that in a bit.

Do you ever have times where you do not even realize how much you HAVE gotten done? Ever have those times that you may even feel disappointed by all that HAS NOT been done yet? I began this year with HUGE plans. Now, I KNOW that I have been working hard and being very intentional about everything that HAS gotten done. But, there is THAT LIST–KWIM?

Well, I am SO glad that I got this time to really look back over this year. It has truly been our very best ever. Both my son and son-in-law are back from the Middle East from serving in our military. In fact, my son-in-law IS our son-in-law (I do prefer to call him our son-in-love). He and Elisabeth are blissfully married. Joshua is now not only walking and trying to talk, but he is RUNNING and just two weeks ago said the sweetest word–MIMI! Harold is doing great in Law School. And, not only do we have over 25 new products (REALLY!), but they are carrying an anointing that is very special. Just looking back over them makes my heart soar with excitement. I KNEW God was moving and working, but these just blow me away! I am fired and inspired to wrap up this year and countdown to 2012. I am SO thankful for an amazing year!

Speaking of thankful, I have a super Black Friday-Cyber Monday sale going on from now until Midnight on next Monday.

Special Black Friday-Cyber Monday Sale!
Yes! Let’s celebrate another great year! Just use our Coupon Code on any of our sites and for ANY of our products and you will save 66% off our regular prices–yes, that leaves EVERYTHING just 1/3 of regular price!! Yep! Here is the coupon code so you can stock up:

Yesterday I sent off a big package of yummies to Elisabeth. She and her sweet husband, Howard, live in South Dakota–he is in the Air Force and stationed there in Rapid City. Tomorrow, she and I will be “Skyping” as we cook together long distance. I am SO proud of her for digging in and making her first Thanksgiving Meal, complete with turkey. I sent her a big package of her favs so we could bridge the miles. Although I miss her BEYOND crazy, I am so thankful that we can creatively make memories across the miles.

We are also excited that Matthew is back from Iraq safe and sound. We are SO thankful to have him HOME just in time for Thanksgiving. It gives us sooo much to be thankful for this year. I am excited that Matthew, Whitney and my sweet GRAND, Joshua will be joining us for Thanksgiving Dinner. I am SO ready for all of the yummy dishes. It will be fun to see how Joshua likes all of the Holiday dishes. Yes–I will take TONS of pics!

Speaking of the Holiday dishes…

I was gathering my recipes to send to Elisabeth and found this printable that may help you as well. It is Our Holiday Menu. Ready for a treat? Every year we have the following meal for our lunch meal at Thanksgiving and Christmas. I make plenty to have left-overs for a week! This is pretty much the same menu that my mother always has for her holiday menu, only I have added in a few Rushton favorites to my menu! Hope you enjoy!

Well, I pray that you have a simply WONDERFUL Thanksgiving with your family. Don’t forget to take some time to just be still and thank God for the blessings He has given you this past year. You may be like me, not even realizing how much HAS been done and accomplished. Take some time to just soak it all in. Enjoy every moment. These ARE the days that we will remember!

Have a super Thanksgiving!

With much love,
Cindy

Also, my precious daughter, Elisabeth and her new husband, have just gotten to South Dakota (he is in the Air Force and stationed there). She just texted me to let me know that they found an adorable apt (with room for me to come visit–hehe!). They start moving in today! I am so happy for them. If you missed their wedding pics, I have them posted on my Facebook wall. Check them out. They are an adorable couple!

PLUS! In just a few hours, I will be joining my friend Felice Gerwitz as SHE kicks off the very next UHSE event–our Back to School Blast. We have a very relaxed and fun afternoon planned for you guys. If there is ONE THING that you have done this year, I think this needs to be on that list! Since I am passing the torch for this event to my sweet friend, Felice, she has ME on the hot seat today. My heart is on overflow from the birth yesterday of my first GRAND-baby. I have some things that I MUST share with you today. If you have not joined this one, you have got to join now. Here is the website:

http://www.ultimatehomeschoolexpo.com/backtoschoolblast.html

You can join by signing up for the mailing list for completely free OR you can grab this set for only $1.99. PERSONALLY, *I* bought the set. I am not even homeschooling anymore and this set is a keeper that is loading on my iPhone as I type–TALK ABOUT WOW!!!

Sooo, scroll back up and join us.

BTW–Felice is our new “UHSE mom.” This means two things…

1. She is the BEST choice for taking UHSE where God wants for it to go. You are going to see why SHE is the perfect person to pick up the torch. She is fantastic! She has a heart for all of you. You can trust her to take care of you and to run this event like I would–wait, BETTER than I ever can! Join us today and see what I mean!

2. Felice cannot do it without you guys joining in. Because I believe in having integrity in all of my business dealings, I have not transferred your name/email to anyone else, even Felice. Even though you guys are on my list to get updates on all of these events and things that we have had going on, as I pass the torch, you must sign up with her list to receive future updates. I have something coming up that will pull me away for a bit, you will need to be on Felice’s list if you want to participate in the things that are coming up. AND, YOU WILL!
