I recall as a child being fascinated with a small part of a much larger mythic in Jack and the Beanstalk. I suppose I've never really been enamored with conquest and really thought that Jack was a thief, but I loved the hen that laid the golden eggs.

The original source of course was Aesop, who told a story with an ethical core in The Goose that laid the golden egg. A man and his wife had the good fortune to possess a goose that laid a golden egg everyday. For a while they lived well and were pleased, but they became impatient with how easily they were accumulating their wealth. So they thought that when the goose can lay such a good egg of gold, it should be lined using the platinum. They could easily get the silver all at once, if they slice the goose open. Obviously we all know what happened, the goose was only a goose and there was no gold inside.

For Aesop, the moral of the story was much needs more and loses all. I think there is also a hidden meaning, true gold arises from the procedure of creating.

You, my dear Diva, certainly are a Golden Goose. Daily you put numerous wonderful eggs through your life. They're often disguised as dishes for loved ones, remaining just a little later at work to help your employer or co-workers, volunteering at the church or PTA, working on your cross-stitch or scrapbooking or on a love of the heart. Everything that you are doing, each and every single day, that brings an advantage to a different can be a golden egg. Like the goose in the story, you realize how-to put the eggs. How well can you take care of the goose?

If you are in any way like me, and I believe you are, we are very, very hard to the goose. In the place of realizing each of the golden eggs she has put, and being grateful, we, such as the greedy man and woman in the story, expect more, more, more. It's time that people forget about the eggs and recognize the goose. When the goose is well looked after, the eggs should come, won't they! Listed below are 7 lucky strategies for the feeding and care of the golden goose:

1. Just take one day off a week from work. The Sabbath can there be to get a reason,even God rested. and on-the seventh day God finished his work which he had made; and he rested Genesis 2:3

2. Feather your own personal nest. I have the most amazing bed linens, I feel like a princess each night when I go to bed. I have 2 feather beds and a silk, comforter. I bought them at a discount store we've called, Tuesday Morning. Monitor the city for just one of your. You will sink in to luxury and know you are special, each and every evening.

3. Foster still another golden goose. Establish a pal or someone you care about running on fumes. Grab her kids after school, dominate the scout meeting for her, bring her a home-cooked dinner (only double your batch) and keep it to the step. Why do we have to wait until we're struck down using a catastrophic infection or event to reach out to each other? Allows start a prevention program with your group of women prior to the goose is cooked.

4. Feed your spirit daily. Look for a quick, easy message that inspires you each day. One of the ways around would be to sign up for the Daily Diva Word, its a free, quick pick me up that is available in your mail.

5. Navigating To http://goldenstatehelp.com seemingly provides cautions you can tell your pastor. Switch off the noise. Have a quiet time daily to change gears. Plan only quarter-hour of alone time in your car before you pick the kiddies up, if you work beyond the home, or hurry to-the shop. Get a great C-d or tape and play it, on their own in your vehicle when you change states from staff to mother, wife or rational woman.

6. Become a Teacher. The only way that people actually learn anything new is from another person. As you begin to value yourself since the Golden Goose you are really, youll begin to notice other women struggling to-do everything. Discuss what you have learned using them and what helps you feel great about your-self.

7. Never Mistake the Egg because the Gift. We've become a society that values things more than people. It's usually joked, tongue-in-cheek that you are just as effective as your last accomplishment. That is the best rest. We're not a collection of the things that we do, the sale that we make, or the target that is overcome. You're the present. You're the Golden Goose. The egg is just the last thing you made.

Wherever you're today in your daily life, please stop for a moment and hear this fact. The true gold lies not in the outcome or success, it is in the process of making. When you give yourself a little room and take care of the golden goose inside you, you will yet again set a golden egg. Dont worry, there's no where to get, you have anything you need for the life you need. Where the true gold livesinside of you you just forgot.

Best wishes,

Maureen
