Trina 1049 784 Nucla	I Quit! 5/31/2009 9:20:15 AM
	I Quit Trina L.C. Sonnenberg I quit smoking cigarettes 43 days ago. That is no small thing, considering that I was a smoker for 30 years, and I smoked menthol cigarettes, which the experts say are harder to quit than non-menthol. It has not been easy, but it has been worth it. Physically I feel no different, but mentally I have felt change. I am very proud of myself for having not smoked a cigarette in all this time. My family is very happy with me too. (My husband even quit too.) I have discovered that the only time that I really have a craving for a cigarette is when I am seated in front of my computer, writing something - like now. This craving has gotten me out of the house, doing more physical things to keep from smoking. I've been spending more time on my hands and knees, in the dirt, tending to my flowers than I have at my desk. All of this time away has gotten me thinking about a great many things; one of which is my future. I have become disenchanted with the Internet and marketing. I'm no longer deriving any pleasure from what I have been doing. I don't know why exactly. Work is not work when you love what you do... I love writing, (that hasn't changed) and have recently finished a manuscript that is in need of an agent. Therefore, I will continue to write, but it probably will have less to do with Internet marketing, and more to do with philosophy, or politics as that is what I am in to these days. Having given up cigarettes has seemed to have launched me on a new journey, one of personal awareness and growth. I have become more deeply interested in how the mind works (particularly my own). As most people who know me are aware, I am a believer in the Law of Attraction. All of this energy redirection feels like the right way to go. So, I have switched into learning mode, and that [what I have learned] will likely be the topic of the things I write in the future. One of the things that I will be focusing on is the advocacy for victims of domestic violence. That is a subject near and dear to my heart, and I feel that I must do more in this area. This is a monumental change for me and my online presence. I am still available and more than happy to answer questions and investigate programs for my Dear Readers, that hasn't changed. However, TLC Promotions is changing focus a bit as is my writing. Please provide me with your feedback. I want to know what you think. I also must do some housekeeping... I belong to more social networking groups than I can keep track of. Therefore, I will be leaving some of them so that my participation is more manageable and meaningful, and my inbox will be less full. I will list the networks that I will be active in, so that you can find me. I have spent the last ten years or so, chasing the almighty dollar. There is no meaning in that. There is nothing wrong with trying to make money, absolutely nothing wrong with it, it is just not going to be my primary focus any longer. There is more to life than money, and I want to be a more significant part of that bigger picture. I want to do something that not only I find meaningful, but that others will as well. If I make money that's a plus, but it is not my main motivation any more. I have met some truly awesome people online and I love feeling connected. I have just grown weary of all the new products and programs being stuffed into my mailboxes. I am not interested in chasing leads or doing presentations. I'm not good at it. There... I said it - I'm not good at telling and selling. I don't love it; therefore, it is work. Like I said, if you come to me with a question, or want to know about a business opportunity's validity, contact me. If you're trying to sell me something, don't bother... please. I am done joining things, selling and buying things. There aren't enough hours in the day to manage all of the things I've gotten involved in, so I am cutting some things from the list. I seem to have fallen into the very same trap that I've been warning people about for years - getting involved in too much at once. It has become stressful rather than fun. Time for a change. Visit my web site, TLC Promotions, to keep current on the things that don't get cut. I must downsize. That includes my domains as well. I am selling a couple of them and changing the format of others. As you may have guessed, I have much to do; therefore, if you don't hear from me in a while, don't take it personally. I'm just ~~working~~ reoganizing. You will always be able to find me through TLC Promotions and The Trii-Zine Ezine, I will always let you know where to find me. I just won't be in as many places. Here are the social networking sites I will continue with: Tagfoot Powerful Intentions Vision Board Women For A Change Successful Women Network Gutzy Women Book Marketing Blog Directory Bloggers Anonymous Poetic Settings The Private Membership I know that looks like a lot, but believe me, that is about half of what I am involved with as of this writing It's time to sit up and pay attention in class; time to get back to learning and growing. I feel like a teenager again! "You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face... The danger lies in refusing to face the fear, in not daring to come to grips with it... You must make yourself succeed every time. You must do the thing you think you cannot do." Eleanor Roosevelt.
