Just call me tomorrow, Monday, April 26 between 8 and 9:30 PM
EDT at 770-399-6619. It is as simple as that.
If you get my voice mail, I will be talking to someone else.

If you at all attracted to calling, do it. You have nothing to lose

WORDS OF WISDOM
To wait for someone else, or to expect someone else to make
my life richer, or fuller, or more satisfying, puts me in a constant
state of suspension; and I miss all those moments that pass.
They never come back to be experienced again.
- Kathleen Tierney Crilly
We become what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is
NOT an act but a habit!
- Aristotle
When one door of happiness closes, another opens--but often
we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one
that has been opened for us.
-Helen Keller

HUMOR
Dealing with anger is always a challenge. Here is a tool to help
you. A coach is always helpful when she can be.

Who is Ann McAllister, Ph.D., you ask? Well, she
has been helping people achieve the lives they really,
really want for 26 years as a psychologist and more
recently as a Success Coach. She is a member of the
International Coach Federation and the Coach Training Program
of Coach University. Ann works with professionals, executives,
and business owners to achieve personal and professional
excellence and still have fun in the process. Ann considers
herself a recovering psychologist. When she is not "working,"
you can often find her strolling through her estate (a small
perennial garden) admiring the beauty of nature. She is often
followed by a herd of cats.
