Generous Coaching for us in eBooks, and Learning By Example

Two of our JJL authors are offering new eBooks on their own sites, absolutely free!

Karen Wallace has launched a new online magazine called The Calm Space, “a virtual magazine that’s like a day-spa for your senses!” and she writes...

In celebration of our first issue of The Calm Space, I am thrilled to be able to offer you a once-only chance to get a copy of my book, How to find the Pause Button for your life… with my compliments!

This book offers you six lessons on reducing the stress, and reconnecting with what makes you happy.

Visit The Calm Space and look for the Pause Button link to download your complimentary copy today.

At Confident Writing, Joanna Young has been presenting a monthly theme in her work shared with us as a writing coach. She turned her September discussion on authentic writing into a 14-page e-book: It's called The Courage to Hear Yourself Sing: 5 takes on authentic writing.

Joanna writes,

This is my first attempt at writing in this medium so I'd be grateful - as ever - for any comments and feedback.  If it's a format that works - who knows?  You might just see me doing some more in the future :-)

We hope so Joanna!

Like you, our contributing authors are lifelong learners, and while we are grateful to both Karen and Joanna for sharing these e-books with us, we are most proud of the example they set as learners who take risks, trying new things in immediate application of their learning. They have taken that additional, very crucial step, where learnING becomes learnED. They have taken a Leap!

Thank you Karen and Joanna, and Ho‘omaika‘i ana ~ congratulations on your work, both beautifully done expressions of your Ho‘ohana.
~ Rosa Say for Joyful Jubilant Learning

Rosa, thank you! I am thrilled to wake up this morning and find your generous spirit has been hard at work spirit spilling again...

The leap you talk about IS the crucial step, isn't it? It isn't enough to learn. It isn't enough to know, even. We must take action as a consequence of that learning and knowing. And I am learning that the taking of action also builds the confidence muscles and squashes down the fear to a more manageable size.

Can I also say that Joanna's book is an inspiration to me! She has taken her own advice with the courage to hear herself sing! I am enjoying the song...

Rosa, let me echo Karen's words - thank you for highlighting our work here, and acknowledging the leap that it took to press the publish button :-)

The relationship between my words and Karen's is a most intriguing one - we seem to be dancing along together, don't you think Karen?

Because her words also inspire mine, the leap she took here last month and the discussion that followed amongst us, well all of that - those words, the spirit, the ideas, emotion, belief - all of it was flowing through my fingertips as I wrote.

I recall Pamela Slim writing about "just in time learning." ...What this means is that you are much more likely to pay attention to, absorb and integrate skills if you learn them just before or during the time that you will apply them.

That is what you both have done, and the way your blooming relationship here enhanced the process with "emotional intelligence" is quite cool too! Ladies, you inspire us.
