Hate to sound like a complete suck-up but the one I read every week is the Monday Morning Memo. Went without it for 6-9 months and missed it terribly. It was like loosing contact with a good friend. Figured out an end around the email issue I had that made the Memo unavailable. Honestly, it should not have taken me so long to figure out a solution. Sometimes when you’re busy mourning a loss, you can’t focus on the way around to what you want. That is my excuse and I’m sticking to it.
Look forward to the memo and the rabbit hole because it’s a little adventure every week. Sometimes it’s a happy little jaunt into frivolity, other times serious and sad or very business minded. I enjoy them all and love the surprise. I go through it all 99% of the time because it pushes my mind in directions that helps me come up with ideas and gets me pondering. Sometimes its just the break from the regular work that resets my perspective on current projects and challenges. Often the item in the memo deals with some aspect of the issues I run to here at work.

Hi Jackie,
The email I always open is Peter Thomson – tgiMondays ezine@tgimondays.co.uk
The reason is: For me Peter has stood the test of time and always delivers of himself and of his best.
He adds value, gives lots of great quality free stuff, and cares passionately about people,
people development and business development.
He shares his pearls of wisdom built up over many, many years in business and has a
genuine desire for people to do well in their business, and will always help where he can.
He inspires, motivates and encourages action from his students. The benefits to me and my business
from knowing Peter are immense and I know that anyone who knows Peter would say the same.
It was Peter who first introduced me (and many others) to Roy H Williams and the Wizard Academy.
Peter is one of those very special and rare people that you meet very rarely in life. I’m so glad I have.
He also happens to be the UK’s top Trainer for Nightingale Conant.

Hi Jackie,
In response to this week’s Monday morning memo, I’d like to submit the only other email subscription I consistently read other than the MMM.
It’s Sean D’Souza’s Psychotactics Newsletter. http://www.psychotactics.com/small-business-ideas-newsletter-subscribe
I read it whenever it comes to my inbox because Sean always has short insightful ideas that help me think differently in my business. I’ve been on many newsletters in the past but found them to be too repetitive or not able to provide valuable information. So for now I stick to the two that I know and trust.

Jackie-
I hate to be a kiss-up, but Monday Morning Memo is the only e-newsletter that I open every week (ok, 95% of the time, anyways) of the 20+ e-newsletters that come to my inbox.
I’m horrible at keeping up with subscriptions and feel that there are very few out there that provide me with useful, insightful info. As Roy said this week, I subscribe because he “nudges my mind into green fields where it might not otherwise have wandered.”
Keep up the good work,

tell wizzo that one of the only emails I open religiously are his. I say this only because its the truth. I have never attended the acadamy, I will some day. However I have read all his books. The trilogy several times. I always keep one on my nightstand and several times a week I dig into it and read a few short stories. Several of the key components I relish as I go thru the emails are the bizzare links to life and how the rabbit hole is actually a rabbit trail that takes you down a path your brain normally would not follow. He makes me think, ponder, dream and vison for the future. Is the wiz left handed? I would think so based on the way his brain works. I wish your organization much success. There is too little of your type of wisdom floating around, the world would be a better place if more people thought like you guys. You are very giving and caring and share knowledge, for that I am grateful

Subject: emails I read – I am curious if you will reply (I kind of ramble a bit here)
I don’t really have any regular emails I review. The Monday Morning notes I do enjoy so there is one. I agree whole heartedly with Roy’s comment:
Frequency of communication does not equal depth of relationship.
I have an email newsletter I send out quarterly. For 2011 I am only sending out three. My June one took months to create. I have a customer email listing around 5,000-6,000 people. My failure rate for dead emails is less than .8% here is my June one. http://phiinspect.com/files/ReducingInfiltrationLossesSummer2011.pdf
I rarely get notes telling me to delete their email. I get many notes thanking me for the useful data. A company’s dedication to service and quality is always better defined by what others say than what I say. I am biased, my customers will be honest http://phiinspect.com/Testimonials.html
I would like to someday come to your Wizard class in Texas but must watch the bottom line right now. The economy is anything but predictable. Right now I am still busy helping (he is paying tuition too, he needs to appreciate cost cutting and saving money, another life skill) my 19 yr old sophomore son who as an academic scholarship for nuclear engineering in Rolla MO (MO S & T Science and Technology). He has straight A’s except for one B in history.
My 16 yr old daughter is one of the top 3 clarinetists in the state of WI. She also knows business working with her dad makes 50-100 dollars a night in tips at a local restaurant.
Both my children do/did attend internet school along with band at the local high school. To make this form of education work requires sacrifice on the parents end. My wife is a CPA who works occasionally outside the home. Her place at this point in our lives is with my daughter who we only have 2 more yrs before college. They sure grow up fast.
I am a very blessed person with a great staff of dedicated people. Besides all the standards any good company must have, or biggest asset is our listening skills and our humble mindset. Both my son Matt and daughter Casey know these are skills underused in today’s pie hole speak without thinking world. An advantage any parent would want for their children.

This is an email newsletter I always open. I build and fly model airplanes and have since I was 10 years old in 1967 when I first became an entrepreneur, selling greeting cards door to door in my neighborhood for prizes. My first prize was a Cox control line model airplane and my life has never been the same.
This newsletter reflects the whole model airplane world, a really great bunch of guys (very few women participate unfortunately) that have a common love of tinkering, problem solving, creativity, the pursuit of skills that can never be perfected and more. In this world, there are no strangers, only friends we haven’t met yet, to quote Will Rogers. This newsletter is an escape that I get to take regularly, a little mini-vacation with my flying buddies. Plus, I get to see what’s new in the ever-changing world of radio controlled miniature aircraft.
Thanks for the Monday Morning Memo. It too is an email newsletter I never fail to open. I hope that doesn’t count as two!

Out of the several that I subscribe to, the only one the fits “always opened” is the Monday Morning Memo. Yeah, really.
Reasons:
Content
– Roy’s relevant (to my clients, and to my business) snippets of information and advice. Have found myself (more than one occasion) revisiting a blurb sometimes a couple of years later.
– the verbal and visual meanderings that surprise and delight.
– feeling of connection with those who think… and who think outside-the-box things in the same manner I do. (Not to be confused with “thinking the same thoughts”)
– shared core values has built trust
Style
– a single point, supported with stories (I love stories)
– conversationally written by someone with an identifiable personality (real-ness, authenticity the oft-used current term)
Translates to: this is my tribe

Subject: blog mention
I subscribe to several business-related newsletters and blogs (including the MMM), but one that always gets opened quickly is called “Eight Days To Amish” (http://eightdaystoamish.blogspot.com). It’s written by Chris Rodell who lives in Latrobe, PA, and the title always makes me chuckle. The name may imply it’s a quick-study program on butter-churning and hook-and-eye fasteners, but it actually describes the position that unless he pays his bills as a freelance writer (or — writing for whoever pays him — a “prose”titute), he’s a little over a week away from being broke and living a life unencumbered by electricity and cars.
Two things I can always count on: a couple laughs solid from some well-worded phrases, or a slow nod when he reveals some small truth about human nature. Sometimes, I get both. He ranges from topics about loss (“It’s an alchemic trick of time and nature that the flaws of a father turn into charms the instant the father expires”) to marriage (“It was my idea…to stroll eyes wide open down the path to marriage, fatherhood and the sexual oatmeal of monogamy.”) to current events (“Do not dare include Jobs on that list [of men with humanity’s best interests at heart]. He was a smart guy who made a lot of money giving us the moronic diversions we crave.”)
Well-written. Funny. Insightful. He doesn’t do a thing to advance my professional skills, like most of my other blog-reading does; instead, he uses well-placed words to make my day a little more enjoyable — and for that, I will always make time.

I know this sounds awfully twee but it’s the truth:
Monday Morning Memo is the only one I ALWAYS open – and almost always right away.
Reason: I trust that I will always learn a little something, be inspired, encouraged or challenged in my thinking. There is always some gem. Obviously some issues are stronger than others and the dynamite ones get a star and are often revisited or lines taken out and jotted down. Somehow, the message of the week nearly always dovetails perfectly in where I’m at in my journey of life.
I’ve been following Roy Williams for years (2002 at least onwards) and it is the only one I’ve often shared with others and encouraged others to subscribe to – how successful I am in spreading the word is tricky as I know how hesitant others generally are.
My husband is a singer/songwriter/blogger/entertainer/pianoman whose goal is spreading joy (Life is Funny) – and we know how precious one’s readers are. Keep up the great work.

Hi
Not sure if this is what you wanted but I l always read the Monday Morning Memo…there’s nothing else that I ALWAYS open and read. If I’m short on time I delete other daily, weekly or monthly emails but I always keep the MMM in my Inbox to read later. Why? Well I’m not a salesman (by profession at least) and I’m not involved professionally in advertising. I stress professionally because I believe we’re all selling or advertising something. We all strive for the top of Maslow’s hierarchy, to be truly accepted and valued and ultimately followed. That’s why I think the MMM contains something for all of us. I can usually find some personal, often poignant, relevance that affects me either on a physical or spiritual level. And that’s a great way to start the week! So that’s why I make time to read it every week.
Hope this is what you were looking for.
Thanks for the memo.

It occurred to me that the only email I regularly read is The Monday Morning Memo. Pretty much every other subscription I have gets read occasionally depending on how busy / other priorities, but not the Monday Morning Memo. I have this morning gone and unsubscribed from about half a dozen emails because I realise that they are just a distraction…
However…a few years ago I used to subscribe to Anu Garg’s “A Word A Day” and I used to read that every day. When I left my last job (before opening a bookstore, five years ago) the subscription disappeared along with my email address. I realise how much I miss that email, and have just resubscribed.
That is my submission and homework!

This is a great challenge. Interestingly enough, I believe that we are now in a period of post-literacy meaning that the number of people that can read and write is in decline and will continue that way simply because it is not necessary to communicate any longer. Video has taken over. Therefore, we do not waste time composing, editing or distributing newsletters or much of anything written any longer.
We did not forgo this internally because it is impossible to get people to read, we just know we are not good enough at it to waste time with it. On video, for now, however, we can share our message and be heard without excessive refining.
Anyway, all that to say there are literally only two newsletters that I take each week and one is obvious. I actually use the “hear the memo” button every week and I read along as I enjoy hearing the voices.
The other is from George Malkmus of Hallelujah Acres and my motive for reading is not as much quality of content as much as it is truth and uniqueness of the message. The resulting blog of the weekly health tip can be viewed here: http://healthtip.hacres.com/

I am excited to read all the submissions. This site above has a journal tab. Mr. Fulghum doesn’t blog nor does he social network. His books are amazing and he shares his insights on his website journal entries. I know how much you enjoy people who can take the obvious and ordinary and find it extraordinary. I visit his page every week and catch up with what’s been posted.

Subject: My Favorite must-have email other than The Wizard, of course
Hi Roy and Jackie:
Thanks for the opportunity to share my opinion.
A sound investment in my personal development is my two to 20 minutes each day with Natural News (www.NaturalNews.com).
Using a multi-media platform, founder and editor Mike Adams stimulates, urges, cajoles, strokes, pokes and prods his readers to think for themselves. He abhors sheeple, eschewing the herd mentality.
Reminiscent of The Wizard, in fact.
Mike Adams expects his readers to get news from a variety of sources and encourages them to weigh the information carefully and to consider, not only the sources, but the motivation behind the sources’ words.
I like that Natural News carries health, medicine, and environmental articles from a variety of non-mainstream authors and authorities. The broad perspective is important to me.
For example:
In the weeks immediately following the March 11 Tsunami and the subsequent Fukushima nuclear disaster, Adams quite correctly pointed out that government officials, the media, and Tepco (Tokyo Electric Power Company) were strangely silent about the situation.
Adams and a number of contributors questioned the reports of “all is well”. They wondered aloud why radioactive readings in the US were very high and then suddenly were no longer recorded because “all is well”.
Google searches reveal that little information was released between March 13 and the end of June when Tepco finally admitted that three reactors melted down and radioactive pollution was/is spewing unabated. (But not to worry)!
My awareness of the potential danger prompted me to educate myself about nuclear fallout and what we can do to mitigate the health effects. See my blogs:
Fukushima Fallout Followup
The holistic approach to Natural News content is also interesting. Few health information sites recognize the connection between mind, body and soul; that’s one reason Natural News is so nourishing.
Again, The Wizard accomplishes similar dualities with his connection of marketing to art, the business school to the wedding chapel, inspirational insight with cut-to-the-chase, no-bull advice.
Finally, I admire Mike Adams’ marketing prowess, something I recognize because of my training at the rabbit foot of the Wizard, so to speak. The Wizard often exposes me to creative thinkers, artists, philosophers and other smart people in his Rabbit Hole.
Mike’s method of paying his writers is brilliant. They all have Google ad accounts, and are paid for clicks, depending on their content. Mike gets to use a variety of quality articles, and the writers are paid according to the value of their work to their customers.
Imagine! Paid for results! Much like how the Wizard built his customer base.
Go to www.NaturalNews.com and subscribe! You will like it too!
Sincerely,
Shelley Goldbeck
P.S.
Thanks for indulging me. I know this is long and I don’t expect you to use it all. I used your invitation as an excuse to practice my writing!

Subject: My fav email subscription
Hi Roy… and Jackie,
I get hundreds of emails everyday in my various email accounts.
Other than your Monday Morning Memo, which I read religiously every
week,
my favorite email subscription, which I ALWAYS read everyday is:
“TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria Osteen”
you can sign up for it at:
http://www.joelosteen.com/HopeForToday/TodaysWord/Pages/TodaysWord.aspx
I like (and always open) the “TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
Osteen” email is because:
1) it is short
2) it always has the same easy-to-read brief format that I am used to.
3) it always has a good bit of scripture referenced.
4) it usually seems to relate very well to an issue or thought I have
been having, so it seems uncannily personalized.
5) it ALWAYS has a strong message of HOPE in a way that I can swallow.
6) I like sharing it’s daily hopeful message with my kids.
7) it comes early in the day and helps set the tone for a positive YES
day.
I hope this helps. You certainly have been a big help to me over the
years.
Have a tremendous day.

The email I look forward to reading each week is from Phillip Humbert. The link is http://philiphumbert.com/. I enjoy his observations about life and how to live a little better. He also has a way of looking at life that I don’t naturally see.

P.S. The other email I read each week is the MMM by Roy. He challanges my thoughts, makes me think, and at other times makes me mad. It is always an enjoyable read. I did not include it as first because I assumed you wanted another one.

I always read Fast Company’s newsletter because it covers a variety of leading edge ideas and doesn’t make me feel like I’m wasting my time. There rarely is a day that I don’t click on one of the four or five articles. Their headlines always tweak my interest. I never delete the newsletter until I at least look over the day’s subject matter.
Here is the link to subscribe…it’s free!

Marc Paris
The reason I open this link first in my email is because:
1) The quotes I read are short, quick, and to the point
2) I often find value in the simplicity of the quotes/advice
3) In moments when I need an ear, I vent to the site, and find soothing words to calm my thoughts
4) Sometimes, when a sales rep forces me to write a business owners cliches in an ad, I find inspiration in the quotes
5) I feel as though I can grab on to one of these quotes and pull myself up higher on the writing mountain (It makes the climb more enjoyable)
6) When I read some quotes, I feel as though I’ve come across an epiphany that opens another door in this world of writing
7) Sometimes I read these quotes/advice because I need something or someone to make sense
8) It relaxes me
9) Sometimes they remind me of what I have, not forgotten, but put on the shelf. It’s nice to blow off those cob webs.
10) I use these quotes (along with the Wizards words) to reinforce to our sales reps and clients what creative writing is all about.
I could go on but I’ll leave it at that. Thanks for your time, Jackie.

There are two that I like and because I can only pick one then I have to say the Monday Moring Memo. Because of the MMM I get to have 53 Christmas Eves a year. The one that everyone else knows about on December 24th and the ones that fall on Sunday nights for a few of us wanting to learn. I go to sleep each Sunday with the anticipation of what gift of knowledge that the Wizard will have in stor for us the next day. I learn something new everyday, but it is only on Sunday nights that I am fully aware that I will learn something that I dont know about and allot of times have never thought about. I love the fact that ya’ll expand my brain and my thoughts. And, you not only push us to dream, but to act as well.
Thank You

Being in the sales profession, I am always intrigued by the good ideas that you generate and I have told many people about you, and your emails. I have a good friend that I read weekly as well. www.richardweylman.com is someone I know and have done business with for 10 years and his messages are very good.
The messages are focused on marketing to the high net worth, but not in a merchandising or product driven way, but an approach from the view of the high net worth. He understands them as only a few do. He was trained by Rolls Royce and then helped to build the Robb Report. He was also an orphan and I admire people that start with a negative (around them) and work through it………
I highly recommend that you consider his website and Richard.

Subject: The one daily email I always open
What a great idea! I’m happy to say that I always open the daily thought from Abraham-Hicks. The quote is always from a book they wrote or from one of their lectures. It is true what Roy says, that the emails we always open shows us about ourselves and what we value the most.
The teachings of Abraham go straight to the heart and the mind and cover every imaginable area of our lives. They make me sit up and take notice. They inspire me to reach for that (happiness, health, wealth, love, etc.) which is, well, really a divine right granted to anyone who will allow and accept it.
Here is the daily quote from 8-15-2011:
Once you are able to achieve and consistently maintain your personal alignment, a great deal of money will flow into your experience (if that is your desire).
Do not let others set the standards about how much money you should have— or about what you should do with it— for you are the only one who could ever accurately define that. Come into alignment with who-you-really-are, and allow the things that life has helped you to know that you want to flow into your experience.
— Abraham

This is the BJ from Moncton who transported you in my truck to Coras a few years ago when you attended the HR conference here in Moncton.
Aside from your weekly memos (which I always take the time to read!!) the other e-subscription I read EVERY time is the one from:
Rhona Byrne – scrolls@thesecret.tv – here is a recent favorite.

May the joy be with you,

I enjoy these mainly because they make me feel good…and help me stay focused on what I want…especially at times where I need some positivity or a reminder of how many wonderful things we have all around us…and the other good thing about them is that they are relatively short….so I get them sent to my phone..and I can have positive reminders on the go.
Hope things are coming along wonderfully at Wizard Academy…i hope to attend that magical place someday…although…now working for the Canadian Armed Forces…I may have do to lots of convincing for them to send me there…lol. Looks like I will have to get there on my own.
I still listen to Free the Beagle every few months…and have felt that I needed an opportunity to tell you how much I really love and appreciate that book…and also, wanted to tell you the similarity that I find that Free the Beagle has with the childrens movie “The Neverending Story.” Uncanny. That movie comes accross much different than when I watched it as a child.
Take care. Enjoy.

Subject: Completely Unfair to MMM Readers
For Roy to ask us to send “that one” e-mail that you absolutely must read each week appears to me to be entirely self serving. In absolute honesty, his is the one post that I must read without fail each week. It is the post that I plagiarize the most, refer the most friends to, and that has changed my life in unimaginable ways. I am fairly certain that he doesn’t need his ego stroked with voluminous posts to that effect so I’m wondering if I should be completely truthful, or just lie a little and submit number #2 as if it carried the weight of a Monday Morning Memo.
Please pass on to Roy that, in the future, it is not entirely egotistical to suggest that he expects his posts are number one on everyone’s list, so it is quite acceptable to pass along number 2.

I have about 4,700 Facebook friends by the way. I also forward it to my list of clients that would get anything from it, and my wife and mother. Tell Roy, that is love. J
I use Google alerts for all of my news that is relevant to me. The terms, Diabetes, Hip Hop, Soul, The Bahai Faith, and Rap are the terms that interest me the most.
The only other blog that interests me is the one that I do myself on a weekly basis. Check out my movement if you have time.

I would really like to interview Roy on my talk show in the future, if he has any interest. My show is called Kore Issues. I do it weekly every Saturday from 5-6pm central time.
P.S. I was going to send in my resume for the marketing position, but I realized that I am too busy to do it justice, but it did intrigue me. Have a great day.

Dear Wizzo and Friends,
My one e-mail I am sure to read outside of yours is Breakfast with Fred.
It is based on the writings of Fred Smith Sr. The thing that draws me to it is that it is a Business based e-mail that is based on theology. It is how to be a business man and a good Christian man at the same time.
I believe that even if you don’t have a Christian background you can take a great deal from it. Not only does it offer advice, but asks questions that make you think about what you are doing and why you do them.

http://bluepenguindevelopment.com/subscribe/ Michael Katz publishes an e-newsletter on publishing e-newsletters.
I read it because his advice is so applicable to everything I do as a radio coach and advertising guy.
One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned from Michael is that there are two ways to find content for your e-newsletter (or radio show, or blog, or . . .):
1–Curriculum style. Tell the people everything you know, from A to Z. Problem is, you run out once you hit Z!
2–Life style. Talk about what’s happening in your life, and find the kernels of wisdom that apply to what you do. You’ll never run out of content this way!
That’s it for me–except to say that, if you subscribe to Michael’s newsletter at this time, you’ll get a free digital copy of his book, It Sure Beats Working, where he describes all the lessons he’s learned about making a living as a solo professional.
Enjoy!

Hi Wizard Academy
Victor Hugo said: “Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.”
For a few years now, I have studied parts of the incredible language of music. Music is in my head every day, and plays a large part in keeping me sane, focused, and fullfulled. For the last year, the conduit for my musical output has been my guitar. From the love of campfire music to the nocturnal musical gatherings at Engelbrecht, I have been driven to learn to use one of the greatest tools humankind has developped. Though I will admit to bouts of extreme frustration over this tempremental six-stringed companion, I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
I recieve weekly e-mail help from http://www.guitartipsweekly.com/ in the form of instructional e-mails. Sometimes I find it uncanny how the advice offered synchronizes so well with the very techniques I happen to be grappling with at the time. I am usually quite excited to open these nuggets of wisdom, and while I try to adhere to my goal of practising for an hour per day, the e-mails provide a much needed nudge of encouragement every time I grasp the new technique.
This weekly e-mail is not deep and provocative on its face, but the techniques aid in developing my musical skill, which in turn allows me to be calm, creative and clear-headed.
Thank you for allowing me to share this, and thank you for the MMM; it provides a unique indulgence in a world that appreciates the colour beige.
Cheers

Hello Jackie,
Besides Roy’s MMM, my favorite subscription is to the Innocent Smoothie newsletters. They’re a company in the UK that makes fruit smoothies. Their product isn’t even available in Canada or the US but I still read their newsletter and visit their website…and I don’t even drink smoothies! So what’s the big deal?
They are hilarious. They have really nailed their brand character and personality. They embody British humour (which cracks me up). Sometimes they’re so off the wall I don’t even get it, but I always chuckle…sometimes I laugh out loud and embarrass myself. As a writer, I can usually find some inspiration through their newsletters or on their website.
For a true representation of their brand personality, go to the ‘bored?’ link on their website and visit their label gallery. On each label is a little blurb that sometimes isn’t even related to the product, but it will make you laugh. They put things on the bottoms of their bottles like “nice shoes”, or “stop looking at my bum”. They are a great example of a Lighthouse personality…attracting like minds to themselves, and inviting consumers to navigate by them rather than navigating by their consumers. They have a writer on staff who does nothing but write for the brand, they change the writing on their labels constantly to always be fresh and new and keep customers on their toes.
Here is their website…enjoy!
Warmly,
Abby

Jackie,
My must-read email is a weekly devotional I receive from The Merton Institute. http://www.mertoninstitute.org/ The institute is named after the late Thomas Merton, a Trappist monk.
To subscribe to the free weekly emails, one would send a request to contactus@mertoninstitute.org
Why do I read it? Because the information presented in the short newsletter is designed to get the reader to stop, think and be quiet. In our frenetic paced life with technology constantly competing for our attention, Merton implores us to quiet ourselves and listen to God’s voice.
From the Newsletter dated August 8th: “Please help me. What am I going to do now? I can’t go on like this. You can see that! Look at the state I am in. What ought I to do? Show me the way.” As if I needed more information or some kind of sign! ….suddenly, as soon as I had made that prayer, I became aware of the wood, the trees, the dark hills, the wet night in my imagination, I started to hear the great bell of Gethsemani ringing in the night…. Thought for the day: the bell seemed to be telling me where I belonged – as if it were calling me home.

Hi Jackie & Roy,
I found this morning’s email interesting. I can honestly say that the Monday Morning Memo is the email that I most look forward to and spend time reading every week. I don’t spend time on Twitter/Facebook yet I still find it difficult to have the time to keep up with emails. I receive a lot of emails on art, writing, marketing/business and investing – all of which I’m interested in – but I can’t read them all. I typically scan the headline and the first paragraph and if it catches my attention I will continue reading. The MMM is the only email that I know I will read every week and dedicate at least 30 minutes to every Monday morning to think about it and follow the rabbit hole. This newsletter covers all areas of my interests and it always gives me something to think about. I often enjoy having a discussion about it with my husband. I also tell all of my clients to check out your newsletter as I believe it is the most valuable of my week. Thank you for continuing to send them every Monday.
I have taken a couple classes at your academy and look forward to being able to come back with my husband sometime soon.

Becoming Holy Right Where You Are 5
http://www.aonotes.com/2011/08/29/becoming-holy-right-where-you-are-5/
Author Albert Haase tells of a woman named Caroline who lost some very important papers. After searching for two days, she fell to her knees and begged for God’s help. At that moment she recalled stopping at a coffee shop with the papers.
She went back there and found the papers being kept for her. A customer remarked, “Miss, you must live a really lucky life.” Caroline replied that she tries to live a godly life, and God seems to be constantly sending blessings to her. The customer said that he had given up on God, since God didn’t bless him and his life was in shambles.
Caroline then transparently described how she had been diagnosed with breast cancer, and was following the doctor’s orders and trusting God. In hard times, she said, it’s important to have an ongoing relationship with God. “That’s what has always helped me get though the tough and trying times in my life.”
With teary eyes, the man said he didn’t often come to that coffee shop, but felt summoned to come on the very day that her lost papers led Caroline back there.
“So you could come into my life and remind me of the importance of trusting God and leading a godly life.”
Coffee/tea thought: Have I been upset or frustrated by something, only to realize later with amazement that God had actually been orchestrating the situation?

The added bonus is the weekly quiz with 4 possible answers and the reasoning behind the answers.
I am leery that this will disqualify me but the Monday Morning Memo keeps me grounded in that what I am selling is a commercial message to get results for my clients, and Gitomer gives me the basics on sales.

I always take the time to read what Andie has to say because her words inspire me, in more ways than one. Some days the inspiration is more practical, such as: That sounds like a delicious recipe! Instant dinner inspiration. Some days the inspiration is of a more spiritual or emotional nature. When she writes, she shares ideas and thoughts that are helpful on subjects from cooking to losing weight to loving others to pursuing one’s dreams. She also shares a little bit of her soul. Her words are always authentic. Transparent. Honest. Real. Every day that I read her words I feel like I’m becoming better. A better cook. A better daughter. A better human being.

Then, I found myself looking for it each morning and eagerly anticipating what he had to share.

http://mailman.wolfe.net/mailman/listinfo/wcn
This is the link to subscribe to a daily message from Lou Tice of The Pacific Institute – and amazing man who always gives me something to think about…
Although I work for municipal government in a small city in the middle of the Canadian Prairies, I have had the extraordinaire experience of listening to Roy Williams not once but twice at events sponsored by Rawlco Radio here in beautiful Saskatoon, Saskatchewan! Both times I attended due to a shirttail invite and an extra ticket given to me from a dear friend who owns a travel agency who – of course – uses radio ads to promote her business.
I work for a civic monopoly called City Hall – collecting property taxes, utility payments and parking ticket fines – and the “promotions” part of my job is rather limited – but I take great delight in reading The Monday Morning memo each week – layer by layer into the Rabbit Hole. The memo is my reminder that our citizens are still our customers.
At age 53 I am looking to the end of my career as a “snivel servant” – a phrase I like to borrow from another dear friend who spends her days as a crown prosecutor – and I don’t think that I would ever be able to convince my superiors that attending one of your courses would benefit my limited marketing duties – but perhaps for myself alone I will indulge in a course at the Wizard Academy in my afterlife (life after City Hall!) – until then, I sincerely thank you for the weekly inspiration.
With my best regards,

The only one I read each morning is TUT… A Note from the Universe. As a daily inspiration, it reminds me over and over how the law of attraction works in my life.
What started in 1998 as an email sent out weekly to 38 addresses has since blossomed into today’s daily Notes from the Universe, sent to over 350,000 subscribers in 189 countries! These Notes are brief passages written by “The Universe,” personalized with your name (and occasionally your personal goals and dreams), designed to remind you that you have, indeed, been given dominion over all things.

Hey Guys,
I would have to say you were correct in your statement that I delete more then I read.
Time is a valuble asset and I make a daily effort to be conscious of how I spend mine.
Some of may fav. Blogs are:
Bob proctor: 6 minutes to success and Insight of the Day http://www.insightoftheday.com/
- Bob truly cares about what he is doing and it transcends in his message
- he is a complete wealth of inspirational knowledge
Monday Morning Memo:
- Great functional information
- I enjoy the stories and get inspired by your messages
Bodybuilding.com
- relevent info to my industry
- millions of users which is beneficial for product reviews and training reviews
- well built site with extreme depth and ease of use.
There are some more that I like to look at, but again time is tight so I tend to chunk my time into my own program that I have developed for my clients, it is called your Next 100 days, so wherever you are and whatever you are doing you are currently engaged in your next 100 days, so set some attention and intention to those days. Set some goals and watch as your life transforms!
So I like to take a look at the year ahead, then plan the big things, address any bigger goals that maybe 10 year goals and make sure I am on course for those, then chunk up the year into 100 day bites… Works well personally and our clients are having amazing results. Year.

Jackie:
This is my submission for the e-mail (besides Roy’s) I always open. It has been Rev Malkmus’ mission to teach everyone who will listen about healthy eating. Even though there is a large dose of biblical teaching that some people might not like, it is his foundation as to why we should adopt his health message. He has helped people all around the world become healthy and quit being slaves to the life time of medicines they have been taking. He has grown his organization and message through the use of technology. I personally have benefited from changing my lifestyle diet and have made it a process over the last four years. His organization makes the lifestyle change very doable and they offer so much free information through his newletters and demos on you tube. This newletter helps me feed my body and Roy helps me feed my brain. Keep up the awesome work and one day it is my goal to come back to Wizard Academy, this time to attend class. (I found out about Wizard Academy by attending my step-son’s wedding this past May).
As Roy has stated in his memo that it is not always about how often you communicate with a person personally that determines how much they can benefit your life. I have never spoken to either one of these people and I have been greatly blessed by both.
Thanks for all you share with the world.

A few times each week, I come across an insightful piece of knowledge or experience that moves me. It might be a famous quote that inspires, an image I shouldn’t forget, or a mistake I’ve made that doesn’t deserve repeating. I often use these powerful tidbits of life until the next one comes along, and the former is forgotten. That’s why a couple years ago I began to email myself this knowledge on the time-delay of 365 days. It’s amazing how often I wind end up giving myself encouragement, advice, and reminders at the very moment I need them.
I open the email every single time because I know the author personally, and he knows exactly what I need to hear.

LOVING ACTIONS – http://www.crosswalk.com/family/marriage/?utm_source=Loving_Actions&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=08/29/2011
Here’s the reason I read it every day:
#1 – I’m an idiot when it comes to understanding women, specifically my wife. I mean clueless.
#2 – I’m an idiot when it comes to marriage. Just ask my wife if you need verification.
#3 – I love my wife more than anything, but as a knuckle dragging neanderthal of a man, I have to be told how to be romantic.
#4 – When things are good in my marriage, everything is perfect at work. When things are bad in my marriage, I’d rather die than go into the office.
But shhhhhhhhh…… Don’t tell my wife I read this everyday.

Interestingly enough it is MondayMorningMemo@MondayMorningMemo.com. I recently left the radio business and made sure I kept the Monday Morning Memo coming to me each week. It is information of this very nature that attracts me to Roy Williams’ thinking and writing. It is thought provoking and leaves you wanting to know more. It comes from a different angle. One not often thought of. I feel a connection to almost every week’s edition.

Jackie,
Thanks for allowing us to submit our 1-submission. It’s easy for me, I only read one email every day on a continuous basis. It’s called “God’s Daily Promise”. Not even sure how I started doing it but it was sent to me years ago and all I do is read the scripture of the day. Here was today’s.
This week’s promise: God is merciful to us
Do you demonstrate God’s mercy to other people?
But you, dear friends, must continue to build your lives on the foundation of your holy faith. And continue to pray as you are directed by the Holy Spirit. Live in such a way that God’s love can bless you as you wait for the eternal life that our Lord Jesus Christ in his mercy is going to give you. Show mercy to those whose faith is wavering. Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment. There are still others to whom you need to show mercy, but be careful that you aren’t contaminated by their sins.

Hi Jackie,
Answering the Beagle’s call, I submit my “must open” email.
Actually, it’s a Yahoo Groups list from Osho lovers.
Here’s the URL: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sannyas-list-new/
It’s a digest of Osho’s writings, readings, rants from anywhere and everywhere. I love the old boy, Osho. He once characterized himself as Zorba the Buddha — what a lovely image.
His attitude reminds me of something Brendhan Behan said of the Irish: “It’s not that the Irish are cynical, it’s just that they have a lack of respect for everything and everyone”.
I love that lack of respect…but implied and often-revealed, LOVE, instead.

Jackie,
Below is today’s daily email from Time of Grace ministry in Milwaukee. Each day it hits me where I live and tackles issues on my mind. It reminds me that no matter our past, no matter our present, no matter our future thoughts, words, and actions, God can and will love us and forgive us. But TOG does not remind me of God’s love using faulty bible interpretation which is summed up in “God loves everyone . . . no matter which God you choose.” Rather, it tells me solid Christian theology but applies it to our messy lives in a way that is memorable and useable and impactful.
Thanks,

I know you know the link, I am simply following your direction. 😉
I am always eager to open up your email because of the marketing, sales and advertising knowledge found in the the depths of and beyond it’s rabbit holes. The variety of perspectives have been inspirational, fun, synical, hilarious and quite frankly at times, irritating. In a nutshell, it rocks! I do subscribe to other periodicals, but The Monday Morning Memo is my #1.
Thank you for always inspiring me to think outside of my own thoughts.

As much as I would like to share another blog or subscription of immeasurable wealth, I’m afraid I cannot.
MMM is the ONLY newsletter that I receive of which I never fail to read. My blackberry chimes at roughly 12:15am MST as I lie in bed on Sunday night (technically Monday morning) and whatever book I’m reading is set aside to see what Roy has to say to us this week. I’m rarely disappointed.
I find these newsletters to be a source of inspiration, motivation, wisdom & knowledge. I try my best to model as much of my own business after Roy’s philosophy as I possibly can.
I also find myself yearning after every MMM that I could somehow afford to take the vast amount of training the Academy of Wizards has to offer… or even just a piece of it. One day perhaps… I will certainly keep trying to make that dream a reality. In the meantime I will continue to covet the much looked forward to MMM.
Of the dozen or so other newsletters that I receive not one is read with even a quarter of the dedication & enthusiasm created by the MMM. And not one of the others offers even a fraction of the knowledge & insight provided by the MMM.
Please don’t ever stop tossing us these tid bits… Your marketing effort is certainly working, you’re creating the want & desire. For me it has been a slow process as I’ve been receiving these emails for a few years now. But it is purely a cashflow & manpower combined problem that has prevented me from being able to partake in the Wizard’s training – for now.
Kudos, thank you & please keep it going! 🙂

Chuck Rosanski’s weekly e-mail newsletter from Mile High Comics (milehighcomics.com) is the best retailer’s newsletter I’ve run across in thirteen years of selling online. Mile High Comics is the world’s largest comic book retailer. Here’s why I like it: The format is simple HTML, mostly text with a photo or two. Chuck’s newsletter is personal and makes customers feel like they’re part of his family. Chuck’s writing style is real, down home, and conversational. I don’t really have the time, but I want to read it when it comes out. Every week, you get to find out what Chuck has been up to this week, and what kind of crazy deals and specials he’ll have next. Chuck has a great “hook.” He travels all over the world to buy all these huge comic book collections, so he has to sell his existing stock at ridiculous prices to be able to afford to buy the next collection. Every week, some other group of comics is 20 to 80 percent off retail. When he’s not running his comics empire, he works in his garden and grows organic produce that he sells at the local farmer’s market. Why do I know this? I read his newsletter.

Hi Jackie,
Out of the numerous monthly, weekly, and daily emails I receive there is actually only one I consistently open more than delete. Not only that, I often spend more time than I think I have contemplating what’s held therein. Inward/Outward is a blog that you can receive in daily updates, they post around 25 a month. It says it’s a ministry of Church of the Savior in Washington D. C. but I’m sure that’s a disguise to throw the general public off the scent of the treasure inside. I grew up in church and these are not devotions. They’re a tribute to wisdom and peace and hope. They quote Nouwen and Kelly, Merton and Bonhoeffer, but they also quote Rilke and King, Heschel and Lamott. The poetry and prose they post is inspired by wise men and mystical women from every religion and school of thought, reflecting that true wisdom is not found in dogmatics but in the search. I also consider it a worthy fulfillment of the daily dose of poetry Roy prescribed when I was at the Wizard Academy.
I hope other travelers of the rabbit hole will find it as inspiring as I do.

Hi Jackie!
Per Roy’s request in today’s MMM, my must-read blog/e-subscription is Daily Tune-Up by Yehuda Berg (http://www.kabbalah.com/blogs/yehuda). Berg is the co-director of The Kabbalah Centre and in his brief entries, he shares simple Kabbalistic wisdom. Kabbalah, a spiritual practice, not a religion, has often been criticized as being weird. I agree–they promote crazy ideas like personal responsibility, receiving for the sake of sharing and showing mercy instead of judgement. I like that kind crazy and his daily e-mails are a joy to read every morning.

In response to today’s Monday Morning Memo (http://mondaymemo.wpengine.com) the email I always read is from Jim Connoly at http://jimsmarketingblog.com/
The reason I always read his emails is: they’re short and clear enough to process quickly, and, they ALWAYS contain useful information I can apply immediately to improve my business, or, profound thoughts that cause me to change my perspective, attitude or approach to situations I’m facing.
I have eagerly signed up to read other “expert” blogs, only to cancel them fairly quickly because they dont stack up to the quality of writing or advice I get from Jim’s.

Hi Jackie,
I am a regular reader and look forward to having time to read your weekly.
My example is a little offbeat. It is a university daily email about scientific papers (mostly physics) about new ideas. I never even took college physics. I can honestly say I know or understand maybe 10% of what I read in these links. When you click through a study to read the summary page of the research it is often another language being used (always in english
however) to describe an idea being explored.
Technology Review Feed – arXiv blog
http://www.technologyreview.com/ (this is the general site link but you have to sign up for their daily email) You can however (often) get a good feel for what they are reaching towards.
And while this version of voyerism is no replacement for actually being on a learning curve somewhere in the world, (no matter how simple or complex) it is always interesting watching people take their chances with their best game face. There may be no immediate gratifcation (because the ideas being discussed need years of further study) but isn’t that really how life is so many times?
My example above is good for a four or five minute detour each day of possibility.
<I offer the following description of the attached pic. That’s Dad demonstrating how easy it really is to do. He is not landing in this pic.
He’s performing and encouraging a first leap of faith which was imminent for both.>
I believe we all remain open to that spirit everyday, whether we think so or not.

Easiest thing I will do all day!
There is ONLY ONE answer for this… The Monday Morning Memo of course… I’m a rabbit hole dweller too… I love to wind my way through the tunnel… I often look for side tunnels and smile widely when I find one. I have a pile of work that sits on my desk that must wait the 15 to 20 minutes… or 30 or 40…. or however long it takes to find the end of the tunnel.
My wife asked me “why do you waste your time each Monday”…. she has never taken this journey so she doesn’t understand. You need to feed your mind so it doesn’t starve!
Thanks for the YUMMY nuggets each Monday!

Good morning — I was just reading my “Monday Morning Memo” and wanted to respond to the challenge of what e-mail subscription I read faithfully. There is only one — the”Monday Morning Memo.”
Over the years, this e-m ail memo has given me new insights and ways of thinking about business, advertising, philosophy, and life in general. I never know what the memo will be about, but I know it is worth every minute to read. I have used the content of the “Monday Morning Memo” to shape my own advertising approach as well as to convince others of what I am trying to accomplish. I have also encouraged many colleagues and managers to subscribe.
Thanks for a great e-mail offering!

Hello Jackie,
The answer to Roy’s request came quick and easy to me. Pick one e-mail. No problem. The Monday Morning Memo has been my favorite for over 10 years. I subscribe to 5 others. Take them away if you must. I would do quite well with just one; Monday Morning Memo!
Here is why:
- • Trust; I trust that Roy has given his best insight. Furthermore I believe Roy is an incredibly gifted man who sees what others do not, and explains the complicated in simple terms. I trust and believe that Roy is an expert in marketing. Especially the real and credible marketing I want to do for my company and our customers.
- • Learning: I want to grow and learn all I can about life, marketing, human nature, and approaching my job as creatively as possible. To do this I need great teachers. If I could only pick one, I would pick Roy. Honestly I feel like I am being mentored by him.
- • Commitment: The MMM represents a huge commitment on Roy’s part. I am impressed by this level and passion of commitment.
- • Giving Back: There is so much content within the MMM that is simply there for the taking. Unbelievable! Additionally, Roy’s books are timeless treasures for marketing, business, and life. They are incredible resources and are timeless. Roy gives from his heart.
I have had the pleasure and honor to meet Roy a few years ago at the Wizard Academy. My opportunity came when Roy invited 99 people to come for a two day seminar. I came, stayed at the Engelbrecht House, and sat for two days in utter amazement as Roy conducted the seminar personally. I was with a different company then, and applied all I learned from Roy there. I now have a new opportunity and I continue to use Roy’s influence and materials. I am grateful.
Best,
Mark

I am a loyal reader, but to answer Roy’s question directly, I always open and read a daily email from the Enneagram Institute. ( http://www.enneagraminstitute.com/ )There are plenty of soiurces for lift’em-up psychological adivce, and plenty of spiritual writers on the web, but Enneagram is diferent. First, it combines psychology and spirituality, helping me inside and out. Enneagram is a system, not just an idea, and it is not merely hortatory, it is also nomithetic, and I know that a growing person needs both. The content is brief, it is consistent, and it lives inside me. Not only do I open it and read it, I keep them during the day to refer to, like a digital notecard, and I archive them all for occasional cross-referencing.

I only always open the Monday Morning Memo and anything Liz Strauss says, i am all ears.
At both newsletters i do gain some priceless marketing insight that has shaped what i do, or more exactly, how i say what i do, is mostly what has been effected.
But the thing i appreciate and enjoy most of all, about both newsletters is the wisdom / character / hope / kindness / rightness i see and hear. Liz writes with such empathy that half the time i want to write her back telling her that her writings meant so much, but i think i only did that once over the years. After all, I’m sure she gets enough mail as is.
My only other comment is, as busy as we all are, i hardly see how even the best writers can hope to gain a daily audience. I think weekly is about right.

I read it every day because Ann has a gift for taking me into the sacredness of the most ordinary things that surround me. Her photographs with snippets of comment lift me out of the doldrums, expose me to the extraordinary creation that surrounds me, and tugs at my emotions in a way that leaves me smiling through my tears. How a farm wife and mother of six who home schools can possibly post something daily makes me reexamine my excuses for not doing what I’m called to do today. As she says often, it’s all grace.

This Yoga studio is one I do not frequent much because I don’t exactly like that part of town. But every now and then they have a great Yogi come into town to teach and I love going to the seminars. I watch to make sure I don’t miss a great weekend seminar.
This is pretty much how I decide what to read: do they offer something I am actively after on a regular basis in their newsletter? Would I buy from them? Generally newsletters are trying to sell me something so if I am a buyer, they are giving me what I am after.

Jackie,
At the risk of pandering, I have to admit that after looking through my email and assessing what I allow to come through to my inbox, the only blog or newsletter I still subscribe to is:
MondayMorningMemo@MondayMorningMemo.com
I used to get a number of “updates”, “alerts”, “jokes of the day”, “industry news”, etc. but found that most of the content was either not valuable to me, written around a particular product or service, or not worth the time it took to read through it, so I “unsubscribed” to all of them. The only one I get and actually read from beginning to end is the Monday Morning Memo.
What I’ve learned through this exercise is that my choice to free myself from a lot of the “noise” that comes through to my inbox unsolicited has allowed me to focus more time on things that matter and when I do get the Monday Morning Memo I’m excited to read it because I know that I chose to receive it and value the information that’s in it.
If there are other “gems” out there that you feel are also worthwhile, please let me know. The Memo has built up a lot of equity with me where I’m actually looking at taking my first class after reading this for the last couple of years. Thanks.

My favorite e-subscription is called “Daily Bible Reading”, and it comes from www.BibleStudyTools.com (from Salem Media).
I read it daily because, I don’t always get my morning Bible reading in at home. It helps me stay focused on Christ and better equips me to get through the day. ?

Here’s your “QuoteAction” of the day:
“Hope for a miracle. But don’t depend on one.”

Your action for today is to do something proactive in an area where you have merely been hoping it would improve.

Hi Jackie
not a subsciption email but
from my website www.loveisarose.com every day I get messages like this from guys to send to their spouses and lovers..This is one I got today…
“Taylor,
Another year has passed to make it two. The time I have spent with you feels like a large part of my lifetime. Maybe it’s just because we have been through so much together. The things we have been through have taught me things that will form the kind of man I will become. You asked me the other day if I ever think about our future. I sarcastically answered without telling you what I really think about. I imagine us living life like every couple wishes they had. You and I being in love, always laughing, staying young, and just living life. No matter where and what we end up doing, I know I will be happy and living the life that some people can only dream of. What I love the most about us is that I feel like we are best friends. We care for each other on a daily basis. I sometimes ask myself where I would be if I didn’t have you and it really scares me. When you are always there for me and make me smile, I feel like nothing will ever go wrong. You are a beautiful woman inside
and out, and I wouldn’t ask to change a thing…except that you would snuggle with me more. I love you so much! You will always have my heart.
James”
This are not from Emerson or Frost, just ordinary guys who inspire me with their expressions and outpouring of love. As I read them I am moved and touched.. They give me the opportunity to look at how I must be with the people I love most…I have with permission collected thousands of them into a collection I call “Messages from the heart”…..

Why? Because it has nothing to do with work, or being a mom, or playing the bass, or serving on non-profit boards. It’s the one completely self-indulgent, non-productive moment I feel free to allow myself. Reading her posts is like a fun phone call with a very fashion-savvy friend, and seeing her daily outfit is like seeing the person at work who is always wearing something interesting. The rest of my life is so focused on the things that think they are important that it’s fun to think about something so superficial (and female) once a day.

Good Morning,
Every morning I open a daily devotional from eric@godrev.com. I go to church on Sunday, and most times on Wednesday. When I miss on Wednesday evening it tends to make me grumpy. I am a person that needs a daily dose of God’s message. It really helps me keep things in properperst perspective.

Greetings!
In response to Roy’s MMM, I have a somewhat similar submission. You could say Pastor Mike Gaudet is my “Exley” so to speak. Unfortunately we Americans tend to think bigger is better in all things including spiritual matters. But as Roy’s Exley proves, so does Pastor Mike, that not all spiritual heavyweights preach from mega-churches. We meet Sunday mornings as we have for the past 17 years, in a middle school gymnasium.
sfhopechurch.com From their simply click to sign up for daily emails. I’m confident you’ll agree Mike is a top-notch writer as well as a flat-out Christian genius.
Take Care & Kindest Regards,

Hi Jackie,
Seth Godin’s daily blog update is the first email I open every day, even on Monday. Thanks for asking me what I get from it, because I had previously only known that I liked it, but didn’t think much about why, other than that he’s a solid writer, with an interesting take, that I can read in under a minute.
What I get from Seth’s Blog is the reminder that I have choice. I need to be reminded of this…sometimes hourly.
Here’s a link to an entry that I was reminded of when I read the Wizard’s Blog this morning.

Subject: MMM E-Nesletter Assignemnt – Williston Wire
Jackie,
Below is a link to the Williston Wire, the one subscription I open above all others. Thinking about “why” was a valuable exercise. I’d sum it up as “actionable information.” It enables me to be in-the-know about what is going on in the Williston Basin.
Williston, North Dakota was a sleepy rural town when we moved our business back home in 2002. Since then, the discovery of the Bakken shale formation or more accurately the discovery of how to recover oil from it, has led to an oil boom.
The Williston Wire went from an economic development tool to encourage business development and tourism targeting former residents and those with an affinity to Williston with a few hundred subscribers to a go-to source for Williston Basin information for more than 6,000 subscribers throughout the world.
Thanks,
Jeff Zarling

Jackie,
Wizzo asked today which blog or frequent e-mail I am most anxious to open – and it has to be “The Monday Morning Memo from Roy Williams.” No, I am not saying this to get points or be patronizing. I tell you this as it is the truth. Each week, Monday mornings to be precise, I spend probably 30 minutes venturing down the “rabbit holes”. It is a mind expanding journey every time causing this old retired guy to think… to contemplate… to gain understanding on why people do what they do. Yup, MMM is IT!

Hi Jackie,
My favorite weekly e-subscription is the DIG by Bob Beverley (FindWisdomNow.com) http://www.findwisdomnow.com/.
I receive it every Sunday. I can’t wait to get it! I look forward to reading it as the DIG has become part of my Sunday ritual and prepares me for my week ahead! I have been reading it for about 3 years. It’s a gem in my opinion as Bob’s wisdom imbued in his words from the DIG have a way of making me feel whole in a world that can at times make me feel less than. I am constantly amazed by the stories and quotes from the DIG. There are different themes and they usually continue for a few weeks. For example the theme of “Play” has been the topic over the past several weeks. The DIG discusses how to use and incorporate play in all different arenas of ones life. I always think and ponder when I read the DIG. I have printed many of them, and when I am feeling down or confused I will go through my folder and re read some past DIGS. They are full of life, heartfelt and many times are filled with great advice!!! I feel as though I am not alone, that others are experiencing some of the same struggles that I face on a daily basis. I have learned to see the “sacred” and “miracles” in the ordinary struggles of life through reading the DIG. It usually take me from 1-3 minutes to read it depending on the length. For me it is time WELL SPENT!!!! I get more out of those few minutes then I could ever explain!!! The DIG has become a part of my life that I would not want to be without! I have watched my self grow and change from wisdom I have learned by reading the DIG. I recommend it to all!!! Especially for those individuals that are working on growing, changing, and creating a life of meaning.
Warmest Regards,
Karen Proctor
