Solid Oak Wrapped in Velvet

Let's talk about Lisa Foster's Simplicity Massage...

Imagine solid oak wrapped in velvet... that is how I would describe Lisa's hands.

From the moment I arrived, she did everything to make me feel relaxed and comfortable. The room was quiet and temperate with soft music and just a hint of aromatic candle to soften the senses. The table, draped in fresh linens, was soft enough to welcome my aching body and firm enough to support the work ahead.

Then, from the moment her fingers pressed into my shoulders, I could feel the stress, tension, and stored anxiety begin to melt away. She pressed and wrestled with stubborn muscles until they relented and relaxed, and she carefully and gently soothed others that were not so tense. For more than an hour she worked her magic...bliss.

When it was all said and done, I truly felt like a new person. When it came time to pay, I was almost embarrassed because the service far exceeded the price. Even after adding a generous gratuity, I was (and still am) sure that I got the better end of that deal.

All I can say, from personal experience, is this: If you are feeling tense & tired, overworked & underappreciated, give yourself an hour or so and go see Lisa Foster. Seriously.

High Trust this week - August 31, 2010

Hello High Trust,
We received an application for membership this morning from Jay Roen of Big O Tires. Exciting news! We will look forward to hearing the results from the Membership Committee.

Now we know QUACK because we heard a great keynote presentation from Jarvis Reeves of Aflac. We'll all be looking for ways to introduce Jarvis to those in need of the duck's services.

Our GRC team, Wendy and Tony, introduced the new contest for September. We divided into teams for this competition. Wendy will e-mail the rules and rewards to us soon.

Here is a reminder of the day's announcements:
1) Upcoming training opportunities:

SMM – Wednesday, September 8th, 2:00 at Skylinks

Basic Social Media – Thursday, September 9th, 1:00 in Mission Viejo

Power Teams - Monday, September 13th, 2:00 in Mission Viejo

2) Stop by the Bixby Knolls First Fridays Information Table from 6:30pm - 8pm on September 3rd, located on the northwest corner of Bixby & Atlantic Ave, where you'll find info about First Fridays, maps, business info, and restaurant recommendations.

3) Bixby Knolls Meet & Eat at Baja Sonora, 3502 Atlantic Avenue on Monday, September 13, 6:30pm. Bring your own wine - No corkage fee. We have 70 seats so reservations are a must since we've been selling out so quickly! Please RSVP to: info@bixbyknollsinfo.com



5) Dr. Ivan Misner, BNI Founder, will be the Keynote Presenter at the Entrepreneur Conference "Winning Strategies" in Long Beach on October 5.



This is a FREE EVENT - Look at the link to the event flyer on our SoCal BNI website. It's in the upper right corner. You'll see the full slate of presenters, and you can register at the same time.



Even though it's free, you MUST REGISTER. This event is not just for BNI members - it's free for anyone, so invite your associates and clients to join you. They must register too, of course.


Do we want to replace our normal October 5th meeting with the Entrepreneur Conference? That is the question to consider, as October 5th would normally be a chapter meeting day for us. Dan Fowler will send a survey to all of us to see what we think. October 5th will also be the first day of the new Leadership Team, so it might be a good day to do something different, inspiring, and energizing to begin our new BNI year.

Next week's keynote presenter will be Lisa Foster, so invite people you think would either benefit from Lisa's business or be good power partners for her.

Wishing you a profitable week,
Marilee
