Making Your Resolutions Count

December 23, 2013 By ssherayko

With New Year’s around the corner, lists of resolutions for 2014 are being compiled by one and all.

We even made a game for the show all about the most popular resolutions and have guest speakers on the schedule with suggestions about how to keep them.

Isn’t that always the problem? We start out with the best intentions for the New Year and then a few weeks into the year, they have fallen by the wayside. So what are the best things we can do now to get what we want in 2014?

Moving into January, we are like the Roman god Janus looking forward and backward. It’s a good time to check in on the year 2013 to list our top accomplishments for the year and express our gratitude.

We are also formulating our dreams for the coming year. As you make a list, you have a greater chance of sticking with the ideas that really mean something to you. So before you put something on your list, ask yourself where you want to place your focus? Why is it important to you? How do you want to feel when you achieve it?

Enhance your dream projects by visualizing what they will be, how they will unfold, and see yourself in relationship to them. Take an inventory of what you already have and what you will need to acquire in order to accomplish your goals. And round out your thoughts on your ideas by noting the steps that will be required in the form of a plan.

Help yourself stay focused by writing a list of affirmations and afformations to read or recite daily throughout 2014 until you have achieved your goals.

If you take the time to really think through the resolutions on your list, you will have a much better chance of getting them and as New Year’s dawns, you will already be well on your way.

Happy Holidays and much success with your resolutions for 2014!

Susan

Let It Shine, Let It Shine, Let It Shine

November 27, 2013 By ssherayko Leave a Comment

Happy Thanksgiving! It’s the holiday season in my world. In the background, the Home and Family Holiday Special is playing. For the next few weeks, we will think of little other than food, traditions, gifts, music and all the ways to celebrate the spirit of this special time of year.

For myself, gratitude is the first word that comes to mind because I have been so blessed to be working on a show for a network that embodies the highest of values. Back that up with a cast and crew who put in so much energy and good will every day at the “office” which in our case is a beautiful house and gardens.

A lyric crosses my mind. It’s a phrase from a Sunday school song: “let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.” It makes me smile. The lights on the roof and in the trees and the skating rink installed for this show are all shining.

But the song is not about lighting up your house for the holidays; it’s a parable to remind each of us to stop hiding our talents under a bushel. Get the word out. Let others feel your joy as you share your gifts. Each of us has a value and something to contribute to others. If you know what it is, then shout it from the rooftops! If you are shy or unclear about it, then find someone who can help you define and share your natural gifts. The world needs what you have to offer in order to bless and support all that other people need to make their contribution.

The thought inspires me with a great New Year’s Afformation, although you could start using it now. Try saying this every day: Why do I let my creativity shine? Why do I let my natural gifts and talents shine for those who need what I have to offer?

May the holiday season bring you and your families joy and anticipation of a multitude of possibilities for an abundant, creative year.

Testimonials

Testimonials

  • “What I appreciate about you is your sincere and great generosity of spirit. You have an almost unlimited tolerance for the foibles of others and manage to find humor in some of the most trying circumstances. I can always count on you to give me an honest, balanced assessment of whatever is happening privately or globally. You never stagnate. You’re always seeking ways to make your life better and more meaningful. That is inspirational to me.”

    Susan Scudder
    Actress, Casting Director
  • “Calm, Serenity, Wisdom, Patience, Empathy. These are the characteristics that I think of, when I think of you. Throughout our relationship, you have always “shared only and freely” with me. You have never been judgmental (of anyone really) or unkind with words. Your ability to take in all the information surrounding a situation, process it in a kind, loving and logical way and then interpret the information back in such a way that I feel that I too can learn and grow from the experience, whether it was mine or not. Susan, I believe that you are a conduit, maybe not the right word…a channel…o.k. I laymen’s terms, you are the glue that holds us all together. If I were ever in a crisis…I’d want you to be with me more than anyone I know.”

    Toni Casala
    Owner, Children in Film
  • “I love working with Susan because she has an amazing ability to help me gain clarity and focus about the possibilities that surround me. Susan is so skilled and supportive that her faith in my abilities has transformed my thinking and now I know the action steps I want to take with certainty and enthusiasm.”

    Susan Prime

  • “Susan ran the Producers Guild of America seminars program for years – and while she was heading it up we had an amazing array of well-produced, always-well-attended and interesting seminars and “evenings with” events. She has a real handle on putting together top-notch panels, finding guest speakers and outlining the main topics for the seminars, as well as a great attention to the details needed to pull these off. I highly recommend her and her fantastic skills.”
