Wednesday 14th November 7pm I'm lucky enough to have captured Lynn Serafinn and pinned her down for an hour. She's having a whirlwind year with the success of her book, The 7 Graces of Marketing and her Global Conference that followed it up earlier this year.
Lynn Serafinn is nothing short of a phenomenon: author, radio host, marketing and social media expert.
Not only that, she's holding a global vision for the way we do business. Her indepth analysis of what's wrong with the way we sell now and plan to change it, could revolutionise the way you do business.

Sheila Steptoe talks Tuesday 13th November about her transformation on WFYH12
I've just been researching some more about Sheila Steptoe before interviewing her for #WFYH12 on Tuesday.
We connected in the summer and when I called her, I felt the waves of warmth coming down the phone towards me. Lovely.
This week we're discussing spiritual transformation and often the term has put me off by smacking of something out there and not applicable to the life we all lead. With jobs to do and bills to meet and people to get on with.
What I particularly like about Sheila is how down to earth she is. She relates what happened to her but connects it up to us as humans living a spiritual life.
I'd love you to join us.and gain some insight into how to create your own transformation... on a day by day basis.

Appreciation: Giving and Receiving
Since the Writing From Your Heart Online Gathering began, I've been receiving feedback.
Positive feedback - which is absolutely wonderful.
Because when you set about hosting an online event, challenges abound. For me the technical issues were and remain the things that trip me up the most.
What I have enjoyed above all else is the connection with the speakers... and the listeners.
I've been that holder of a space where people can meet. In the past I've done it in physical space like facilitating courses. But this was my first cyber-space event and to begin with I wondered how I could do it.
Really though it's just the same as if people were in the same room. Doesn't matter that they listen singly all over the world.
For me I imagine them all connected up and together.
That makes it easy and it seems as if those who listen are receiving the feeling that I'm transmitting.
Which brings me back to the appreciation.
One definition of appreciation is: recognition of the value or significance of something.
Over this last weekend I've been mulling over some ideas about giving and receiving appreciation.
Why we offer it, why we don't and why it can be hard to accept.
During the last few years I've listened to dozens of speakers on a variety of online events.
How often have I sent an appreciative comment?
I'm ashamed to say hardly ever.
What stops us offering appreciation?
It's not because I haven't found significance or value in the talks. Far from it.
Especially this year I've gained huge support and inspiration from listening to speakers talking about subjects as diverse as abundance, lessons they need to learn as they follow a spiritual path, and how to improve your health.
So what stopped me?
Inertia, lack of putting myself in their shoes and a feeling it wouldn't matter. Especially with the more well known speakers, I felt that lots of people would be commenting so it didn't make a difference if I didn't.
Now the boot's on the other foot so to speak, I understand exactly what it can mean to a speaker or host to receive a comment that the words have helped them.
So I'm immensely grateful to those who took the time and trouble to comment.
Which brings me the receiving of appreciation.
Why do we find it difficult to accept appreciation?
Years ago I worked in a block of serviced offices and next door to mine was a young woman offering secretarial services. One of her clients came in most weeks and I'd often meet him in the corridor or we three would share a coffee.
On one occasion he complimented me on a jacket I was wearing and my reply was along the lines of 'I've had this ages, etc etc.'
He stopped me and said, 'By not accepting I meant the compliment, you're rejecting my good wishes.'
As you can imagine it stopped me in my tracks and after that I made a conscious effort, and still do to accept compliments, even when they take unexpected forms.
Do we appreciate ourselves enough?
If we're exhorted to 'love others as ourselves' how good a job are we doing for others when we don't appreciate ourselves?
Not very good. But when much of my upbringing was to stop me being vain, and not blowing my own trumpet then self praise is tough.
I know that when I reach the end of the Gathering and I sit down to assess how it went, it will be more natural to focus on the mistakes than on the sheer achievement of making it happen.
Which would put down those people who took the trouble to send me their thoughts and loving kindnesses. So I've decided that at the head of the review list is going to be a Didn't We Do Well item.
Big lesson for me there.
How do you deal with giving and receiving appreciation?
There's still time to join in with six more powerful speakers in Weeks 4 and 5 as we look at transformation and how we get our message out in the world.

Writing From Your Heart Online Gathering - Week 2
So thankful and delighted with this week's speakers for their wit, wisdom and generosity.
Elizabeth Marshall stepped in at the last minute for a speaker who had to reschedule and gave us gold nuggets galore about the importance of creating deep connections. Since she's worked with some of the top authors it pays to take notice of her. If she's good enough for Michael Port, Seth Godin and Guy Kawasaki, who am I to reject her advice!
Derek Rydall offered such a strong and honest message he had one of my friends saying 'yes that's me and I need to change, NOW!' I love Derek's concept of Emergineering. It's back to allowing our message to come out, not forcing them.
Amethyst Wyldfyre challenged us on our responsibility to stand up and be clear in our message - the one only we can offer.
All offered nuggets and the calls, and generous gifts.
Still time to sign up and receive the gifts. The replays end Sunday 4th November Midnight Pacific Time.

Amethyst Wyldfyre asks - Are you Hiding Your True Power by not Speaking Out
A challenging interview in store for us today on Writing From Your Heart Online Gathering. Amethyst Wyldfyre offers a provocative perspective on how writers need to tackle these dangerous questions.

Joe Nunziata on Busting Your Karma to Heal Your Life
Today on Writing From Your Heart Online Gathering, I'll be interviewing Joe Nunziata, author of Karma Buster.
Have you ever wondered why you don't make any headway and you keep getting stuck in patterns that make no real sense to you? Listen to Joe and let him show you ways to dissolve those patterns.
Eight years ago I met up with Joe, telephonically when he coached me as a newbie in the writing business. Practical, focused and thorough, he helped me enormously and it will be a pleasure to talk to him again.
As a practitioner, not a theorist, Joe always looks for ways that work to move you on. So I'm expecting an energetic and life affirming session with him.
If you haven't yet signed up to our community of writers, check us out at www.writingfromyourheart.com
You'll find like minded people trying to develop as heart centred writers, helping each other because we know when one grows, we all thrive.
Make a connection on Twitter at #WFYH12
We'd love to hear about your challenges, your successes and your needs.

WFYH12 Online Gathering
Taking time to reflect on yesterday. During the day I was such a mixture of nerves and excitement. All the hard work, all the technical challenges - not my favourite part - finally coming together to create a place for us to meet.
Logging into the control panel for the event it was wonderful to see people joining us.Checking on who was asking questions during the discussion with Raphael underlined for me that you do want to know how to deal with the challenges we face being heart centred writers.
I listened to quite a few of Raphael's recent series about Teaching What You Need to Learn. This featured spiritual teachers from many faiths and opened my eyes to some of their challenges. It's easy to think that because they are out in the world with that tag of being spiritual teachers and counsellors, they have all the answers.
Just as Raphael was prepared to share his vulnerabilities and issues, so did the people he interviewed and I listened to them much heartened.
As he said, living with an undercurrent of joy is one thing, but we still have to face daily challenges. Being able to rest on a secure foundation does mean that we recover faster maybe when we get knocked off balance.
That's a theme I think Sue Morter will talk about later. Looking forward to speaking to her.

Writing From Your Heart Online Gathering
It's very odd beavering away, writing for this bit of software then that. Autoresponder message, emails, social media messages. So much of it is done here in my attic office with the huge window through which I can see blue sky and fluffy clouds.
The messages though are going out all over the world and that's the wonderful, exciting and miraculous journey they're taking. At the moment I have no idea about the people who are receiving them. That's what I want to happen as the Gathering begins and builds momentum.
Over the weekend, thanks to one of my speakers Linda Joy from Aspire Magazine, my contacts had quite a boost and I began to feel connected to others. That's the key intention of Writing From Your Heart. This is such an important time for all of us who attempt every day to live from the heart. Despite all the challenges and the obstacles, we open our hearts to others.
My daily meditation about the gathering includes a visualisation of me being a pin prick of light on the planet. Then I imagine other lights appearing all over the planet with connecting lines till I see a matrix of lines shooting off all over the place.
From the first idea, or I should say, nudge from Spirit, this event has emerged into being. I send it love and light every day and it is growing. What its outcomes will be I have no idea and it isn't important that I know all the connections that will be made during the event. All that's important is that they are made and we are all supported and encouraged as a result.
