I was very moved to receive this success story from the latest reader of “The Truth About Women” ebook:\u00a0“David, I have to say thank you sooooo MUCH!!! My husband and I seemed to be worlds apart until I found your ebook. We were in such bad shape I thought there was no where left to go.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

We starting reading ‘The Truth About Women’ together about a week ago and it was as if the light came on. He actually looked at me and said “I GET IT! I understand now what you’ve been trying to tell me all along”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

We have our good days and our bad days, but the bad ones are becoming far less and when we need to we just reference your ebook to seek coaching!\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I know this all sounds so stereotypical but it is the truth. Thank you so much. You have truly saved a family from it’s own demise!”\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span>2. <\/span>FEATURE: Finding Love and Joy<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is an excerpt from Warrior of the Light<\/em> by Paulo Coelho:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

A Warrior of the Light needs love. <\/span><\/p>\n

Love and affection are as much a part of his nature as eating, drinking, and a taste for the Good Fight.\u00a0 <\/span>When the Warrior watches a sunset and feels no joy, then something is wrong. <\/span><\/p>\n

At this point, he stops fighting and goes in search of company, so that they can watch the setting sun together. <\/span><\/p>\n

If he has difficulty in finding company, he asks himself: \u201cWas I too afraid to approach someone?\u00a0 <\/span>Did I receive affection and not even notice?\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

A Warrior of the Light makes use of solitude, but is not used by it. <\/span><\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Action<\/h3>\n

1) Do one thing today that brings you joy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

2) Do the same activity, only take someone with you. Experience the joy of sharing that moment together.<\/p>\n

3) What have you learned? Go to the blog<\/a> and share your experience.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span>3. The Personal Touch<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Quite an interesting month. I thought I could keep writing my book while I traveled Australia, but I can’t. Too distracting. I now have an offer from two publishers, and am still shopping it around.<\/p>\n

It was awesome to make my brother’s 30th birthday in Melbourne, and to stay with Bronwyn (my darling ex) and her man.<\/p>\n

It was great to survive the government audit for a $100,000 export assistance grant. (results aren’t in yet, but it’s looking good)<\/p>\n

I went camping with my Dad for three nights – the first time we’ve ever done something alone. It was profound, with each of us bringing up things we’d never spoken of.<\/p>\n

After 35 years, I enrolled my family in celebrating my late sister’s life. She lived for 5 years, and I say that’s 5 years worth celebrating! We had a lovely time story-telling around the table.<\/p>\n

I explored relationship possibility (once again!) with my personal growth angel\/devil, and found that I was just getting hugely triggered; I wasn’t happy. I finally decided life is too short for that, and felt instantly better once I decided to move on (yet again ;-). But you know – it does get easier. It was one of the best break up calls I’ve had.<\/p>\n

I spoke to 500 people at a Chris Howard business seminar in Sydney. Sales weren’t what I expected, but I nailed the speech, and I did discover that making out with a stunning woman is a lovely way of moving through a breakup. (too much info? well…you ARE reading the personal section \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Also connected with my Aussie friend Sarah Mac after 7 years, and we’re talking about doing a radio show in the US – entertainment meets personal development. Thoughts? (let’s hear them on the blog<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Today I flew from Sydney to San Francisco, and am writing from a lovely hotel on the water. Tomorrow I go to Calgary to hang with friends, and expect to go house hunting soon in the San Francisco Bay area.<\/p>\n

So once again, your average month \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
