More Than A Bite Enewsletter -Action Woman Rides Again

Once my newsletter is broadcast to my lovely database of readers, I have been putting the edition up on Take A Bite as a an article.

With Take A Bite now exclusively Relationships-focused Apple Tart will be the new holder of newsletters.

So here's the latest edition.

Theme: Action Woman Rides Again!

• My      BAG
• The      New Blog
• Take      a Bite of Exclusively Relationships
• Sharing      the Celebrations With YOU

By my reckoning, this should be about a 3-5min read.

Thanks to the new subscribers for opening the door.  And I'm even more grateful to the vast numbers of you who remain constant readers of this newsletter.  (I try my hardest not to take your loyalty for granted.)

Last newsletter, I was thinking about a lot of change.

"Change starts when someone sees the next step." (William Drayton)  So, writing in the last newsletter, about the Ghosts of Changes Past, Present, and Future, allowed me to start seeing the next steps.  So Action has been the "happening thing" for me since we last spoke.

And have I been on a roll! 

My BAG

No, NOT an exotic leather number - those gorgeous holders of all things feminine/business/vanity/useful. If I'd bought one of those, I certainly wouldn't be publicly confessing to another indulgence on that front.

No, the BAG is the Big Audacious Goal for Pink Apple!  (You'd have thought I'd have got that all sewn up long ago!)

So let's get it out on the screen!

I want to spend my time making sure that Successful Relationships don't have secrets. Being successful at connecting with others takes enthusiasm and commitment, but has some serious benefits as well.

Happiness. Contentment.  Peace.  Reassurance.  Positive Self-Esteem. Connection.  Growth.

Overall, that's not too bad a list of things for someone to want to help others to get. I've seen some more materialistic, but less inspiring aspirations, in the glossies; but I'm OK with that.

So I'm going to be loud and proud about sharing those secrets and seeing to it they stay secret for as little time as possible.

So Pink Apple now has a new "tag" or descriptive line.

Pink Apple "... Sharing the Secrets of Successful Relationships"

The New Blog

Thanks to my friend and marketing advisor Richard Beaumont, I have realised that the messages on my blog were all mixed up together.  (Yeah I know, Duh!)

You poor things!  I was making it too hard for you to get the information you were after!  To find information about Relationships you had to plough through a myriad of other things that, in my enthusiasm, I wanted to share with people.  (Excuse me, while I just wipe a bit more of that egg off my face!)

So the time had come to take some serious action, and divide and conquer.  To do that, I needed to separate the more eclectic (all-over-the-place) topics into one personal blog and leave Take A Bite to be exclusively about Relationships.

With the brainstormin' partnership of Karen Wallace from The Clearing Space I came up with Apple Tart for the name of my new blog.  It was launched on July 4th.  The Americans amongst my readers will probably tell me that's a good omen.

Articles there include an introduction to the blog (Like A Bit of Tart?) as well as the story of my Clayton's "make over" - the one of my face that is!  Keep reading till you find the Botox!

So please, grab a coffee and pop in and taste Apple Tart.

You can subscribe to receive the articles by email.  Or, I will also be including links to articles on Apple Tart in this newsletter! 

That's why the newsletter has a new name - More Than a Bite.

Told you I'd been on a roll!

Take A Bite of Exclusively Relationships 

Take A Bite has now got two regular articles appearing each week. 

1. The Secrets to Staying Together and
2. The Secrets to Starting Out Together. 

In Deserving, we explored how one person's secret belief that they didn't deserve a good relationship was poisoning any chance of achieving that very thing. 

In Believing, we explored how important it is to believe that your relationship will last for the "forever" you vowed, as much as believing in your ability to create a healthy relationship.

Starting-Out Together has looked at how our Parents' relationships can influence our own.  Before adopting their techniques, it can pay dividends to analyse how effective their relationship was/is. 

That was followed by an exploration of How to Turn Fantasy into Something Real.  That explores what kinds of fantasies we have about what being married or committed to someone will look like and feel like.

There are several other new ways Pink Apple will be unveiling the Secrets of Successful Relationships, so stay tuned.

But a sneak peek at the first addition reveals that it will be interviews with people in relationships of all kinds. I want to dig down into what makes successful relationships - life partnerships, professional and business relationships, family relationships, and friendships.  All have things to teach about being successful. 

So if there's a relationship you admire and you would like to see these people interviewed, email me and I'll approach your mentors and invite them to share their secrets with all of us.

Well I think my 3 minutes is up!

See you next time, and don't forget to pass this newsletter on and help me unveil those secrets!

Warm regards

Chris
