I've had several therapists report lost mojo's this month. If you have found any spare mojo's please let us know!
It is important to keep our mojo’s working and smiling as this is a high energy month. We need to be rested and focused at this time so I have several tools that will help you on the spiritual and physical levels in this months issue.

What A Great Idea

Photo Above: This month’s great idea comes from David at Fit 4 Life who has agreed to share with you his brilliant idea for displayimg an A-Board.
David got this idea from a very successful real estate salesperson. You will notice in the photo that it isn’t the actual A-Board that is clever but it’s position. It is NOT on the footpath; therefore it doesn’t need all the red tape that normally goes with an A-Board via local council. (Please check with your council before placing an A-Board because the rules vary). David’s A-Board sits at the back of his car in his driveway not on the footpath. If he is going to an event, the A-Board goes with him. David has a gym at the back of his home so when he has clients or doesn’t want to be disturbed he just brings it inside. He ensures its placement is always safe for passers by and those entering his property.
You will also notice the simplicity of the board. He hasn’t tried to cram too much information onto the board but it has all the trappings of a good benefit laden marketing message.
David, a personal trainer, has a program called Fit 4 Kids that he uses with children with ADHD and autism and also offers programs for teachers and staff who deal with these amazing children with such big challenges. Well done David and thank you for sharing. ww.FitForAll.com.au

welcome notes
Hello lovelies
Spring is in the air in the southern hemisphere heralded by a blast of colour from my wattle trees in the back garden. They sure are a cheerful sunny sight to see out my kitchen window. I also have a grand crop of peas growing in my front garden that grew out of the pea straw I put down to help with the drought conditions last year. I didn’t have the heart to pull them out so I went with the path of least resistance and have given them little climbing frames to grow on. They look a bit daggy but fresh green peas for dinner in a few weeks will be a darn fine thing.
Nine wonderful students are half way through the final interactive Full Practice Building System (FPBS). If you snoozed you loosed (rhyme at any cost) but next week I will be launching a couple of new exciting products that will revolve around the FPBS and give you ways to build your practice in self paced mode.
Now is the time to consider ramping up your practice for the new year and these new products will help you do that. January will be too late and all the wise and clever people will be doing their planning and marketing strategies before Christmas and using the FPBS to help them with the process. Watch your inboxes next week.
The newsletter is taking a different format this month; it’s a bit of mosh pit of tips and tools to help you through the month of September whilst still smiling at the end.
We are running through a period of very high vibrational energy shifts that are causing a lot of us some internal and external challenges. Last Tuesday I was sad all day and after consuming more chocolate in one sitting than I have in the past year I was still sitting in the armchair crying. In the only logical way I had left to deal with it, I then started to holler at the Universe “I wouldn’t mind so much if I knew WHAT I was crying about!” Of course I understand that I’ve given permission for this to happen many times and I know it is contributing to the greater good but it is still disconcerting when these deep emotional feelings appear unannounced, with no rhyme or reason, seemingly out of no where and leave as quickly as they arrive.
So for mojo's like mine that are a little out of kilter this month, I trust this newsletter helps a little to get your mojo working again.
Be Remarkable

Q&A
Blog
Many of my loyal readers write in and ask me questions about the 90 Day Challenge or the struggles they are having in their practice and I've always spent quite a bit of time answering them. It seems a bit of a waste to share those answers with only one person and not to share it with everyone, so now the answers to your problems will now live at my Q&A Blog and everyone will be able to access them.

2. Two Practical Ways to Make You Feel Better
The Wave of Love
If you haven’t already joined The Wave of Love you need to do it now, if this resonates with you. Stage II is starting on 9 September and it is designed with love, to bring the new wave of love onto the planet.
I have attended both Simone’s Essence of Angels and Crystal Light Healing Courses and her knowledge and wisdom in this area is phenomenal. She is right up there with some of the best in the world (and I’ve seen a lot of them!)
You can click here to view
There is a lot of information on Simone's website about the energy shifts and I would encourage you to read up on it at www.UniversalLifeTools.com. Following is an extract that tells us how we can be kind to ourselves during the transition period.
How to minimise any discomforts
The following are a list of recommendations to maximise your soul experience during the Attunement period and to help minimise any discomforts. Of course how you approach this list is entirely up to you. For some this list maybe just too hard to manage….that is fine, just love yourself and do your best, that is all spirit asks.
- Try to get as much rest as possible, to allow integration of energies
- Drink plenty of water to assist with detox on every level
- Eat wholesome food, in season and organic where possible
avoid drugs, and minimise consumption of alcohol & cigarette smoke
- Minimise stimulants such as coffee, tea, and all other caffeine products
- Schedule time for relaxation, and heaps of self-love (eg massages, hot baths etc..)
- Connect with nature – as much as possible feel your feet on the Earth on a daily basis, experience the Sun’s rays on your body, on rising deeply breathe in the new day and swim in the ocean (or take a salt bath) on regular occasions.
- If physical, emotional or spiritual issues are coming to the fore and you are having difficulty with dealing with the symptoms, please love yourself enough to seek the assistance from a qualified health practitioner. Trust your intuition, and you will be guided to the right person.

True You Parties
Have you ever bemoaned the fact that you can’t find people of like mind to socialise with.
Well this Sunday 9 Sept 3pm-9pm Melbourne therapists have no excuse.
True You Parties are exclusively for people with a love of natural therapies who would like to go to a safe venue where they can socialise, have a few beverages and dance/listen to good music. They are purely social, no speakers or hyper networking to do, just good conversation and the opportunity to meet new like minded friends.
Organisers Diane and Amanda are Kinesiologists and understand how hard it can be to get good social experiences when you are an introvert and hate the usual pub/club scene. There will be readings and volunteer therapists doing treatments, in fact you are going to meet one of my gorgeous Reiki channels who will be doing shiatsu on the day – say hi to Pauline for me if you find her.
I’d urge you to support this event because it’s a "use it or loose it" situation. Please let them know how great they are on the day because to date they have done it for love of it and have sadly taken more than their fair share of flack.

Google Maps – is your practice listed?
I’ve just gone through and listed The Cute House on Google Maps. WE LOVE GOOGLE MAPS – even non-spatial people like me who struggle to know the difference between left and right let alone north and south can read them because they put little flags on your destination.
Google Maps have this groovy new tool that allows you to go in and mark the exact location of your business along with opening hours, public transport details and all sorts of useful information. It is a free service and you pay nothing for the listing.
It takes a while for it to go live but once it's up and you have a new client you can print out your Google map and send it to them or just give them a link. They can also be cut and pasted into your website or emails. What ‘s more Google maps will kindly give your clients detailed instructions on how to get to your practice from where they are now – gotta love that!
ALSO you can arrange to print vouchers that people can bring with them when they look up your address. This is a whole new way some of you creative people can use your 2-4-1 offers.
Click here to add your practice to Google maps.
Reciprocal Website Listings - have you sent yours in?
Speaking of Google – did you know that Google is a search engine that loves links between sites. Links to similar types of businesses help your natural ranking in all the search engines. (natural ranking is when you get listed at the top of a search - #1 placement is nirvana to web site owners but often difficult to achieve)
So for those of you with websites, I’m offering to do a reciprocal link for your business on my site providing you meet the following criteria:
- You must be on my database and provide me with your full contact details
- I must be able to see your link to me before I set up a link back to you
- You must have a natural therapy business or have a related product (ask me if you are unsure)
- I must approve your listing and website as it must meet a certain professional level. (I will tell you if it isn’t suitable)
- Your listing must not have any of the usual naughty things that ban listings such as bad language or dodgy material that will get me in trouble.
- You must understand it might take a while for me to list all requests and everyone may not be suitable so no abuse!
I suspect reciprocal link is a system we might as well all benefit from. You can see other people’s listings on my LINKS page of my website. Click here to complete your link request
4. How to Keep Your Mojo Working
At present it is particularly hard to keep your mojo working and happy. You might like to have a read of one of my old Margzville Star newsletters from way back in June 2004 entitled "What is a Mojo & How do you get it Working?" - the message is still relevant, although some of the links may not be click here to read
One way I cheer myself up is to look at uplifting YouTube clips - sad but true! Where were we without YouTube?
My current favourite four mood enhancing clips are:
1. The Muppets - Mahna Mahna
This clip never fails to make me smile.
I used to know a guy who looked just like the red haired Mahna Mahna and he was equally annoying!
2. Plus my all time Muppet favourite - Animal and Rita Moreno
If you’ve worked with drummers you always want to do what she does at the end and plus it’s got Floyd allegedly modelled from one of the Doobie Brothers (my all time fav band) so that has to be good for ya!
3. The Evolution of Dance
What can I say - a dedication to silliness that just can't be ignored and sure to bring a smile :-)
Check out the number of views he has had - over 50 million - ah the power of YouTube .
4. Paul from Britain's got talent
This is a stunning example of someone with a song in his heart that needed to be sung. Watch the effect he had on the judges. It brings me to tears every time because it reminds me how amazing the human spirit can be, particularly when it's up against the odds.
OK - enough fun and frivolity - back to work now!
