Green Graffiti and the Letter G

Germinating Genuine Genius

August Greetings ,

In an apparent quest to befuddle you with my selection of newsletter themes, this issue is brought to you by ... the letter G.

Actually befuddle is really not my intention.. I just like the word befuddle. August is the only month with a G in it… so why not have G as a theme? 

This e-zine has a mission to orginality so to look and sound like other newsletters would be to break the Code of Muses (COM) - an infraction resulting in plum stains.  Guided, am I, therefore, whatnot, so-be-it, by the need to defy conformity for ingenuity, uniqueness and the occasional gaffaw. I urge to do the same. Grab a creative prompt or two below and go for it. Giddy-up. OR if this e-zine seems overwhelming, simply Get-over-it. :) Gently.

Or join me in my Full Moon Meditation free teleconference this coming Thursday, August 6, where I will shareThe Effect that Meditation has on Creative Fluency. A tool without which I am lost, unbalanced, and befuddled.

You will experience an imaginative guided imagery and understand the power of meditation to unleash your intuitive genius. There will also be a mini-coaching session with someone and me during the call. Sign-up here.

What's G?
 
It's green, gray, and gamboge.
It's the game and the glory. Guaranteed.
It's golden gratitude.
G is genius, galaxy, and gardens,
Grander, greater, gentler.
It's glamour
and sometimes it's garbled.
G glows, glitters, and glides.
G is a glass of gin, a sideways glance, a gesture of goodwill.
G has germs.
G begets gibberish, a gnome ranger, and a garage sale.
G is a gift to give, and sometimes get.
When G is gone, H comes in and says Hi.


Hi,
Jill

Go back three spaces and click on the gibberish link if you didn't. You'll like it if you have a quirky sense of humor. Otherwise, it might be a little befuddling.

KMCC has trained and certified creativity coaches since 2004. Come join us and experience a transformation in yourself as well as a new stream of joy and income. Our KMC3 association supports you beyond the training.

New Daytime Section: I am blessed to have students this training from New Zealand, Tokyo, the UK and Hawaii. However, this makes scheduling a class that works for everyone is a challenge. Therefore a new time section has opened and to celebrate Global Expansion there is a $100 discount for those who sign up before August 15th, 2009. Classes are Wednesdays 5 pm pacific time, and a new section is opened for Tuesdays, 10 am pacific time. 

The KMCC model uses tools such as specially designed guided imageries, mind-sculpting, creative priniciples in the guise of Muses, and new perspectives of thought and compassion. Our hallmark is creating new habits through gentle small steps and play. The August 6th call is an opportunity to test-drive KMCC tools. Or listen to last month's call.

The KMCC training takes place through teleconferences in comfort of your home and active involvement in a rich, Internet community; observations of coaching sessions with Jill, inspiring reading, and practice coaching with classmates.  You will bond with your own tribe and be supported in a personalized way by Jill Badonsky to discover a new level of your creative self as well as experience the 10 tools that have helped thousands unlock a creative life. Taught by Jill Badonsky with UCLA psycologist, Robert Maurer. More information both here and here and if that's not enough, consult your intuition.

A testimonial for KMCC from Chris Dunmire, the creative genius behind the Creativity-Portal.
