It's strange how one area of life can sometimes mirror another that is seemingly unrelated (though perhaps not).

Here's the story...I live in the country in a house that has a well. And in all the years I've lived here the water pressure has been - WELL - not so amazing. But then over the last year or so in particular, it has been getting worse and worse until it almost seemed there was barely a trickle coming out of the shower each morning.

As this problem has gotten worse and worse, I have grumbled to my husband (grumbled may not be strong enough word) about how the water issue needed to be fixed, pronto. Neither of us being plumbers, we weren't sure what the problem was but decided it must be the (very expensive to replace) water pump in our well. Thus, despite the inconvenience, we've dragged our feet a bit to avoid the shock and pain of the bill to deal with the issue.

Finally we decided January would be the time to fix the problem. In the meantime, I decided to do a bit of cleaning and purging of stuff (and attitudes) that have been clogging up other parts of my house and mind. I actually read a great book (SHED Your Stuff, Change Your Life by Julie Morganstern which I highly recommend) and began applying the principles in it.

I carted off bags of clothes and unwanted stuff to Goodwill, started delegating undesirable tasks from my calendar, and began working on taming a few unproductive behaviors (procrastination, being late) that I have turned into chronic habits. My water might not have been working properly yet, but by New Year's my house, mind and energy field started to feel cleaner.

And then the craziest thing happened.

During a visit from my inlaws right after New Year's, the conversation about the water issue came up. My father-in-law, being somewhat handy around the house, started discussing the problem with us. As we told him about the problem that would keep him from having a satisying shower the next morning, he suggested we change the water filters to the house. My husband had done this numerous times before the visit and since we'd started having the water pressure issue. But - to humor his father - he left the conversation to change them yet again.

A bit later, I turned on the water at the kitchen sink to fill a pot of water for mashed potatoes for dinner. The water shot out of the faucet like it was power by a jet engine! I was thrilled like you cannot imagine!

I asked my husband what he did and he said he'd just changed the filters like he'd always done. But for some reason, this time was different. And my showers have been absolutely fabulous ever since!

It may seem "out there" to some of you, but I honestly think that the CRAP in our house, my mind routine was literally CLOGGING the flow of energy and water in our pipes. It's made me really take a long look at other places where energy isn't "flowing" easily and caused me to ponder what else I can let go of.

So why do I share this? Mainly because I want you to learn from my lessons - and skip learning everything the hard way -  so you can achieve what you want in those and all areas faster and with less effort than what it has taken me. That's essentially the same reason why I do what I do in my coaching, training, and writing as well.

And it's exactly why I want you to check out three FREE webinars that begin this Monday 1/23 at 1 PM EST with myself, Meagan Holub - author of "The Magic Touch" and Lori Crete - author of "The Six Figure Esthetician System."

I'm off to take a long, hot shower now, but I hope to see you on Monday!
