Thanks for sharing your client story. Isn't it amazing to get exactly what we ask for? Keep on rocking your passions. How's your hubby doing on the passion path?

I hadn't thought about the effects brought about by the small things we do (or don't do) every day. And today it was setting a longer deadline than I normally would have with a client. He accepted my suggestion without a hitch (I had really been worried about it). And right now I've decided to hit the hay early. Yahoo! I like that the smallest step can make the biggest impact.

I do, hi-ever, truly believe that the smallest step you can take today may have the biggest impact. More specifically, coming home today to put on pjs to conduct my afternoon work was the best thing I could have done for myself. Right now, just for a minute, nothing heroic--what would put you first?

Although I know it's true that the less I give myself, the less I can give others, I allow myself to run on empty far too often. Related to your Twitter question, that's what I'd like to learn about finishing projects - how do I overcome the addiction to being only "productive" (i.e. working on something for others) rather than nourishing myself? You're setting a great example by doing it every day. I guess that's the answer - just choosing and scheduling something everyday for me.<br><br>P.S. It's already Day 3 of passion. I'll be updating the blog soon. Some previews of what I'm passionate about: building real relationships and eating well. The 90-100% for others, 70% (or less) for me is a familiar conundrum.
