No, I’m not talking about your cell phone or the phone in your home
or office. All the women in my Success Circles know that I don’t believe in picking up the phone every time it rings. I do believe in listening to my messages and returning calls and emails within a reasonable time period. I’m talking about answering your call—the call that is unique only to you.
Do you have any idea what that ring tone sounds like? You may be reading this and saying to yourself, “What is Joy talking about?” “I don’t hear anything like that.” Well, I’m not surprised. With phones ringing everywhere, music playing, family members and clients calling out for attention, how could you possibly hear your own unique call? And maybe you don’t even think you have one.

my own boundary lines this past weekend. Have you ever done that? You know that you have “overscheduled” yourself with too many commitments. You realize when you wake up that there are more things to do and people to see than the number of hours in the day. Yep, that was me.

My daughter, Jenna, was curious about how batteries work so she chose to make a “homemade battery.” Needless to say, my husband and I were challenged on both projects!

so it took some time to read to a 6 & 8 year old. Most nights, the kids couldn’t wait to eat dinner, take a bath and hop in bed to hear what’s happening next to the cast of characters—Reynie, Sticky, Kate and Constance.
