Warm Holiday Wishes
...and Happy New Year!
Hoping you and your families enjoyed the holidays in a memorable and cherished way...love, gifts, quality time together, warm thoughts, smiles and lots of Magic Moments. I love this time of year, as it's an opportunity to reflect on those I hold dearest in my heart...family, old friends, business associates, clients, new friends, Soulfully Living subscribers and people I shared treasured experiences with in the past year. Every relationship holds a special imprint in my mind...yes, often for an eternity. And, to each subscriber that I don't know personally, I thank you for graciously receiving my Soulfully Living. I don't take anyone in my life for granted. Thank you for being who you are, and for contributing to my world with your presence.
FEATURES this week...
Soulful Spotlight - As 2003 draws to a close, it is a good time to turn inward and reflect on the past year, accomplishments, major event, traveling adventures, family time, magic moments. A few years ago, I began a process with my clients called "End of Year Completion". It's an outstanding way to 'move out the old' and bring in the new. I discovered this process with my first coach years ago, and found it to be of enormous value to me personally, as well as for my clients. I want to encourage each of you to take advantage of this process.
Soulfully Being - "Magic Moments and Highlights of 2003" - Another annual ritual I cherish is capturing Magic Moments and Highlights of the year. 7 Steps to capturing your year. See details below. And, for friends and family who've received my holiday letter in past years...take a peak at a few of my personal highlights. Personal thanks to those of you who contributed to my year!
FREE Teleclass "Intro to Living in Choice" - In January, I'm offering TWO versions of my Living in Choice program. The content is rich and the exercises are powerful. The course empowers individuals to embrace personal power through choice. Numerous programs make claims about transformation. Often time, people just feel "drawn" to a particular course and enroll. I've taken countless programs simply based on the teacher and "title". Yet, many people need more information to know if a program is right for them.
I'm offering a FREE 1-Hour Teleclass to give you a core overview of the course. Learn the 4 Key Principles that serve as the basis for EVERY personal or spiritual growth program. The FREE overview is being offered on two different dates and times.
*January 6, 2004 at 6pm Pacific
*January 7, 2004 at 12 Noon Pacific
Emailmary@lifecoachmary.com to register for free and receive the dial in number. Simply put "FREE Choice" in the header. Space is limited, so take advantage of this FREE offer right away.
My Living in Choice program is a potent integration of the best personal and spiritual development wisdom, and you'll receive the heart of it in the FREE overview. After reading nearly 200 books, attending countless seminars and courses, I wanted a way to tie it all together...to condense and simplify the most valuable principles. Last year I developed a 4 point model. You'll see that EVERY personal and spiritual growth program addresses one or more of these components. These 4 points are the foundation that runs through the Living in Choice programs, and will be the focus in each of the two FREE 1-Hour Teleclasses. I believe you'll find value in the call regardless of whether you choose to enroll in one of the Living in Choice programs.
I've been thrilled with the individual and group feedback Both programs include 12 individual lessons, delivered via email, and group coaching. Click HERE for more details and/or view the information below. Special January 2004 pricing available.
"This e-course has you look into the most important issues of our life. Mary has designed a manual for inner peace that should be given to us as soon as we are old enough to read! Bravo! I recommend this course to anyone who wants to master their emotions and be present in the now to see life more vibrantly!" -- Jeanna Gabellini, MCC and graduate of the Living in Choice eCourse.
Warm wishes for a very Happy New Year, 
Mary Allen, CPCC, PCC

End of Year COMPLETION - This is an excellent tool to reflect upon the past year, get complete, and prepare you for setting new goals in 2004. WRITE DOWN ALL your answers, especially the Successes, Wins and Accomplishments. It's one thing to "think about it", it's another to capture it in writing! Enjoy the process.
1. What are your disappointments, failures, and breakdowns? Let's acknowledge what these items are..this is an opportunity to let them go, carry them forward, or make a new promise.
2. Make a second list titled: Successes, Wins and Accomplishments. This is a chance to celebrate and own who you have become this year, and your achievements. Where did you step into your power and greatness? Please don't skimp on these. The little stuff counts. NO modesty allowed. Let's validate all your accomplishments. Look through your organizer to remind you.
3. What have you learned about yourself and your life? What insights have you gained? True insights have the transformational capability of shifting us into a new, more alive place! As we are blessed with insights it is important to nurture and deepen these new understandings.
4. What are you grateful for? This list might include some of the above and anything else you truly appreciate about yourself or any other area of your life. There is a basic principle. Whatever you appreciate and give thanks for will increase in your life.
5. How will you celebrate and honor your year 2003 accomplishments? What would be a fun, special thing to do for yourself?

| 2003 Magic Moments - 2003 Highlights - A life worth living, is a life worth recording. Every year, we experience hundreds of significant moments. Ten or twenty years from now will you remember what transpired in 2003? Where did you travel? Who affected your life? What experiences shaped you? What new relationships did you form? Who and how did you spend your time? What were the most memorable moments? Happy moments and sad moments? When did you spend time with family and friends? Who did you do business with? How did you have fun? What influenced your being? (books, seminars, etc.) What movies did you enjoy? How did you stay healthy? What challenges did you overcome? What accomplishments are you most proud of? Wouldn't it be fun to be able to review the highlights of the year -- years from now -- and enjoy the emotions associated with that experience? If you have children, all the more reason to capture your year.
This is another annual ritual to bring closure on the previous year and reflect on the most meaningful and magical moments. Big or small, capture it all. Sometimes we forget how much meaning there is in our lives, and get caught up in the emotions of the now. At first, I didn't think this was one of my "better" years. However, upon reflection, and WRITING it all down, I felt incredibly blessed and grateful for the experiences of this past year.
7 Simple Steps for Capturing 2003
1. Find a journal or notebook with plenty of pages.
2. Pull out your calendar or DayTimer from 2003.
3. Use each month as a stimulus to remember the highlights. Don't worry about putting everything in chronological order.
4. Write down a few words to capture the event or moment.
5. Write for yourself. This is for you. A name, event, or two word description is often enough to trigger the entire set of emotions and memories.
6. Enjoy the process.
7. Keep for a lifetime.
Example below from "Mary's 2003 Highlights". This is a sampling. However, it's a little longer than just a "sample" because I didn't write my annual holiday letter this year. I also added a few extra words so you may decipher a few more highlights. (I'm sparing you all from the 4 pages I wrote.)

Living in CHOICE
"Coaching eCourse" and "Teleclass Series"
I've refined and integrated the insights, strategies and exercises that have proven effective for my clients and myself, into 12 Powerful Lessons. It's the BEST of what I've delivered to my clients in a unique and highly concentrated program. If you're ready to truly stand in your POWER, allow your life to flow, give up old patterns that don't serve you, and finally enjoy a deep sense of inner peace...this program is for you.
"I liked the fullness of the program, a host of practical steps I've never been exposed to. The conference calls were even more powerful than I imagined, hearing how others were applying the lessons in their lives and hearing Mary's spontaneous coaching. There is so much I got from the program, it's hard to summarize in a couple sentences. One result of the program is that I'm now willing to be gentler, and kinder to myself. I didn't realize how I really NEEDED to do this. Other programs have pointed this out, but the course allowed me to "really get it". As this course allowed me to "get" so many other potent principles. The content was "meaty"!! -- M. Petroff
Coaching eCourse
Over 16 weeks you'll receive twelve individual lessons presented as a "choice", along with SIMPLE, yet potent exercises to integrate into your life. This is the KEY, using the worksheets and LIVING the exercises. On the 4th week of each month you'll have the option of participating in FOUR "optional" Group Coaching Sessions. Those who participated in the calls found them incredibly valuable!! Since this is primarily a "self-study" program it is now spaced out over 16 weeks to ensure ample time to read and integrate each lesson. As a BONUS, take advantage of email coaching with Mary each week. This program is regularly $299. However, if you register for JANUARY you pay ONLY $49/month. Save $100.
12-Week Tele-Seminar Series
You'll receive one written lesson each week via email, and participate in a one hour weekly group call. The lesson will be presented in more detail and allows individuals to more quickly comprehend the heart of the lesson. You'll also receive individual coaching and share in other's valuable experience of the lessons. The Living in Choice Tele-Seminar Series provides more one-on-one coaching, weekly accountability, and is great for those who learn best in an auditory and group setting. It's valued at $699. This January is only $199/mo or $499 for the entire program. Save $200.
Both programs offer 12 powerful lessons, personal email support and group coaching -- for a fraction of the cost it would take to hire me as your personal coach. It's truly a phenomenal way to "get it all".
