Volume 1 - Number 172

I NEED YOUR HELP - I am playing a game in a Masterminding course I'm in. The course ends on Monday and I have a goal for a minimum of 15 NEW SUBSCRIBERS by completion.

Welcome to our 3 new subscribers. We're now looking for a minimum of 12 more to meet the goal.

My request is that each of you suggest to one other person that he/she subscribes to PICTURE TO PONDER. Simply share your experience/appreciation and refer them to the ARCHIVES where they can randomly look at back issues, labeled by Issue # and Photo Subject, and SUBSCRIBE. You might even tell them which have/has been your favorite(s).

If each of you honor my request and your friends respond, then our subscriber base would double and I would have WON by well over 10 times my goal!!!!!! Thanks to all of you who are playing with me.



TODAY'S PHOTO -
expression of jubilance -

Grandson Ryan appreciating something, probably a joke from his sister, as he opened birthday presents after a family dinner celeb
ration earlier this week.

As I was looking at the slide show of photos I was particularly struck by this one and the complete unbounded look of pure fun and joy.

Sharing this image with you seems a great way to end the week and set up your weekend. May it be one of fun and discovery and may you each experience some time, even if it's simply a moment, of child-like joy and appreciation.

SELF-REFLECTING QUERIES -
I just completed a dynamic, 4-session program with Adela Rubio on AWAKENING YOUR BODY'S GUIDANCE SYSTEMS. See her BLOG. Out of last night's session, one query that comes up for me today is, "Where in YOUR body do you feel jubilance? How do you know it's jubilation?"

Though another series has not yet been announced, write to Adela (link on the blog) if you are intrigued and want more info on a future class.

I've also mentioned, I believe, that I am currently participating in Julie Jordan Scott's DREAM ACTIVATION program. On a call the other day, Julie led a "YES" Exercise and since that time we've been talking about the power of saying "Yes!"

Be on the lookout this weekend for places where you can be saying, "Yes!" Try it on with exuberance. How does it feel?

As I complete here today, I am wondering what, if anything, is the difference between "jubilation" and "exuberance?" I'll check it out over the weekend. In the meantime are there additional words that you also can come up with that also express some form of "elation" or similar emotions?

I invite you to look for the experiences as well as the definitions!

AUDIO TESTIMONIALS -
Have you yet checked out the 28 second message from Sondra,

who shares the impact on her life of a custom photo/drawing of her father done by me?

Have you listened to Judith Tramayne-Barth and Renee Kleckner on our AUDIO LINKS page, where Judith also describes how easy it is to record a message? I'd love to have your voice there also. A sentence or two is more than enough, if you are person of a few words.

I will publish the link for yours in Picture to Ponder and on the testimonial page on the eteletours site. You can call in yourself at (214) 231-2905 ext 6956 or, if you wish, e-mail me to set a time and I can call you and 3-way you in and simply listen while you talk.
