I couldn't be more proud or attached to you, my SMCT 2009 online group.
Whether you've been involved for a quarter or a year, I sense the growth and courage that has occurred with each week. In fact, I've been very encouraged to meet many of you lately at my events.
I love knowing that we come from all walks of life with individual needs as well as gifts to give.
As you've personally or publicly expressed your gratefulness toward me, please know that you keep me coming back. You encourage me with your words AND your successes. I am also touched by the way you encourage and lift up each other.
You be encouraged my friends and sojourners. I look forward to quarter four: The 12 weeks before Christmas--I'm hopeful that we can finish together strong during the last quarter of the year which is so renown for stealing our money, calories and time! Amen?
Be encouraged,
Becky

Last Week of Quarter Three: Reports and Responses
Your turn to talk to me! I'm looking for your reports and responses from 3 months of saving money, calories, and time. So please come prepared to the phone call to share 2 or 3 sentences--your "pits" and "peaks". We'll share a high and a low...and then I'll share a word of encouragement to get us through the last week of the quarter.
I also would LOVE for everyone (I think there are almost 90 of us in this quarter) to share on the blog...what worked for you, what rating you would give yourself, what is the hardest part of saving money, calories, or time!
Come on everyone--let's end the quarter strong!
Be encouraged,
Becky

Week Twelve: All's Well that Ends Well
We have just one more week in the third quarter of Saving Money Calories and Time in 2009! And as I have closed each month with a catch-all-phrase, I never realized that this trendy tip was from a William Shakespeare play. Wikipedia describes the quote in this way:
All's Well That Ends Well is a play by William Shakespeare. It was probably written between 1601 and 1608,[1] and it was first published in the First Folio in 1623. Though originally the play was classified as a comedy, the play is now considered by some critics to be one of his problem plays, so named because they cannot be neatly classified as tragedy or comedy.
I had originally chosen this phrase because I thought we'd all be encouraged by the thought of how nearing the end of the quarter can and should be viewed as a positive race to the finish. But after reviewing the play notes, I realize that the message Shakespeare was giving had more to do with getting to the end no matter the means. Which, of course, most of us perpetually find ourselves repeating the same silly habits and getting the same silly results--that don't usually result in lasting change...until WE change.
Friends, I am asking you to consider that this quarter and this year is NOT QUITE OVER. What might you do (that you said you'd do when you began this series), save, give, or lose before this quarter and year are over? What might it take for you to achieve that end? And is there any message to you in the idea that ending well has a much better sense of accomplishment when you've been planning and participating WELL all along the way?
Let's consider, this week, how/what/when/where/why we can make a 2 week run for the end line with great passion and personal strength and courage. Yes?
Be encouraged,
Becky
