Regarding last week's "Up Close and Personal" column:
Hi Sharon,
This was so timely again! I just got through
participating in a monthly Meet & Greet with an
online networking group I belong to. One of the most
important things I've found out in doing business is
you can't go it alone. You need friends and you gain
them online and offline by interacting with them, by
sharing yourself with others and helping them with
their needs. Showing others through your actions that
you genuinely care about them and not just your next
sale or business referral. Thank you for stating the
obvious again Sharon!
Your sister in Christ,
Kim :-)

Up Close and Personal
======================================================
Hello:
Did you remember to take care of Y-O-U today?
Y-O-U (Y-our O-wn U-pkeep) can't be neglected just
because there are other (seemingly) more important
things to do.
The body, the mind, the spirit, and our relationships
all need regular upkeep to stay in good condition.
Imagine for a moment that Y-O-U (physically, mentally,
emotionally, and spiritually) are like a well-designed
spacious home with a kitchen, living room, dining
room, den, bedrooms, one or more bathrooms, and a
yard.
In this imaginary home the kitchen, bedroom(s) and
bathroom(s) take care of your physical needs. The
den takes care of feeding your mind and entertaining
your brain. In the living room you cultivate
relationships. In the dining room you feast upon
spiritual things.
Which rooms in your imaginary home get the most use?
Which ones are gathering dust? Which rooms get
cleaned most often? Least often? Why?
Is the dining room any less important than the
kitchen? The kitchen lets you prepare and eat quick
meals on the run but the dining room lets you serve
others and enjoy what you're eating on a much deeper
level.
How about the living room? Is yours just for show or
do family, friends and guests gather here frequently
to discuss and do things together that really matter?
Your living room is a place to *live*. Are you using
it to its full potential?
What goes on in the den? Is it a place of learning
or mindless entertainment? Do the kids have
educational toys to play with? Does the library
include good books, audio tapes, videos and dvds that
stretch the mind and inspire you to improve? Do the
pictures on the walls, the music you listen to, and
the knick-knacks on the shelves stimulate greater,
nobler, richer thinking or keep you mentally in the
slums?
And then there's the yard. Are you letting the grass
grow under your feet? Time to get moving!
Without regular upkeep a house quickly falls into
disrepair. Without regular upkeep a life, too,
quickly falls into disrepair. Health starts to fail.
Minds turn to decadence and decay. Relationships
break apart with tragic results. Spiritual neglect
leads to despair, depression, addiction, even suicide.
It's a lot easier and less costly to take care of
Y-O-U (your own upkeep) in at least some small way
every day than it is to stop and take care of M-E
(Mending Everything) when things start to fall apart.
You can take care of YOU now or you can put it off
and take care of ME tomorrow. The choice is yours.
Each week "Up Close And Personal" brings you an
