Garbage Day This entry was posted on 5/24/2007 5:45 AM and is filed under uncategorized. Bertha and I have made a habit of recording our gratitudes every morning. Today we decided to share lists. I was a bit surprised when I saw hers. The first thing on the list was Garbage Day. Now I could have understood Memorial Day or even Groundhog Day but Garbage Day totally didn't make any sense to me.
Of course she was more than happy to explain. She's always more than happy to explain...and that usually involves her climbing on a soapbox and me listening for a while. Today was no exception. Bertha said she was grateful for Garbage Day because she could sit all the things that we didn't need or use or that were broken or just trash for that matter on the side of the street and someone would come along and take it away so that it no longer cluttered up our lives. Then she pointed out what our house would look like if we had all the garbage for the last 2 years just sitting around. The cat even turned up its nose at the thought of that! Well, when she put it that way...I had to agree...Garbage Day is a day to celebrate and be grateful for. Of course, we're talking Bertha here, so the soapbox dissertation continued. Bertha said wouldn't it be nice if we had a mental garbage day...a day when we could bag up all our old thoughts that no longer serve us, all our negativity, all our fears and just sit them on the side of the street and someone would take them away. I had to agree...that would be wonderful...I had a few that were bouncing around in my head that I'd like to can, so to speak. So Bertha challenged me to play the garbage game this week. Every time either of us has a negative or limiting thought...we'll visualize wadding it up and chunking it in the can. At the end of the week...we'll see who has the biggest bag sitting by the curb. And the best part is...we'll both be winners! How cool is that?! Bertha and I would love for you to join us in the Garbage Game and we've created some fun resources to help you along the way. First there's The Loving Life Radio Show, it's a great uplifting show for women and it's archived for listening 24/7 or for download to your iPod or mp3. Next, there's the Bertha-Size Your Life! it's a whole book of Bertha's wisdom and wacky sense of humor, what can I say...it's the best book I've ever read! LOL! Or, you can work with us one-on-one in a coaching relationship. It's all done over the phone so it doesn't matter where you live! Oh, and by the way...Bertha got the idea of monitoring our thoughts in a great class we're taking with our friend Jenn Givler called Create a Thriving Business. Jenn is a great resource as well! We'd love to hear from you! Gotta run...I hear the garbage truck up the street and I want to get a bag of yucky old thoughts to the curb before they get here!

Why Bertha, of course! A zany redhead, who is always up to something and drags her sidekick along with her while she's dispensing down-home wisdom and perky advice for finding balance and joy in one's life. Throw in a conniving nemesis, an antagonistic cat, lime green spandex and high-heels and you've got a book that's sure to tickle your funny bone and leave you wearing your thinking cap as you read and reread each vignette.
