Greetings & Welcome!
 
We hope this finds you off to a great start for the summer! We've got some fun things planned: boating with friends, cabin time with family, a couple road trips, outdoor festivals, summer parties, a family wedding, happy hours on outdoor patios, a few great concerts (yep, Neil Diamond is coming to town!), softball for Bill, and cardio kickboxing for Michelle.
 
Recently, we had a "summer kick-off party" (just the two of us!) to look at the calendar and decide on all that we want to include this season. Writer and poet, Annie Dillard, said "How we live our days is how we live our lives." And so we want to make sure that each day this summer is a great representation of how we want to live our lives. So we're making sure there's a good balance of working hard and playing hard. And honoring boundaries is important; be sure to check out the feature article below!
 
LifeShine is celebrating FIVE years this summer! What a great ride it has been and continues to be. In honor of this milestone, check out our latest offering below, Ultimate Living Jump-Start, along with several of our amazing client stories!
 
We're proud to feature two friends of LifeShine in this month's newsletter. Read about Client Lisa Saline, along with Sponsor Wendie Pett. Wondering if Wendie's program works? Ask Michelle about her abs! :)
 
Best wishes to you for a fantastic summer. Enjoy!

The Importance of Boundaries
By Michelle Stimpson
 
Imagine that you were planning to take some quiet time all alone tonight by treating yourself to dinner out and then going for a walk around a nearby lake. Ahhh--a much needed evening of self-care. But then in the afternoon, a surprise phone call is made to you by the president of the organization for which you volunteer. A call for help; they need you to pitch-in tonight.
 
Even though you knew there were many others who would be able to help that night, he asked you. And so with a knee-jerk reaction, you say, "Sure," but hang up feeling discouraged, disappointed, and less than enthusiastic about your role as volunteer. You already know later that night you will be angry for not keeping your important commitment with yourself.

There comes a time when you just have to make some changes. In my life, there seemed to be less and less time for the most important things. I was working 60+ hours in Corporate America and missing out on the opportunity to spend quality time with my family. Michelle came into my life at the right time. Her smile and caring personality along with her coaching business really got my attention.
 
Over the past few years I have had tele-coaching with Michelle and later attended one of her workshops. Michelle is great at helping you understand that it is okay to...
