A Note From Christina

Hmmmm, I find myself writing the e-zine again while in transport.  This time I’m typing away in the Alaska Air Lounge in Seattle, enroute to Phoenix, Arizona (ok, if you check the photo closely you’ll see I’m actually ‘Twittering’ away, but hey… writers need social breaks too!).


Writing on the Run: Alaska Air Lounge in Seattle

By the time you actually read this… I’ll be sitting in a meeting room in the historic Biltmore Resort.

I’m looking forward to seeing the hotel, which is a landmark dating back to 1929 with a Frank Lloyd Wright inspired design (one of his protégés did it).

Seems like it’s a creative place… as word has it that Irving Berlin penned “White Christmas” while poolside here.  As this Canadian is adding on an extra day because of the warm weather factor, I’m assuming it will be a no snow zone in the desert.  Better be!

I’m down here for my final retreat of the year with my biz coach and my six entrepreneurial buddies.  Getting feedback on my plans for my SHIFT-IT training program that I’ll be launching in 2009.  I’m really excited about these new offerings – they have been years in the making.  From the comments I’ve been getting from some of you… you are excited about what’s coming too.  Cool!

I have loved my graphic recording / facilitation career but I’m really chomping at the bit to follow my creative muse – getting the graphic way of working even more out in the world.  I have a feeling that this is going to be a very interesting and expansive chapter in my life.  And, as a worldwide integration shift is going on, I’ll have plenty of company as other folks emerge into their next level of creativity and service too!

Enjoy today’s e-Zine,

Christina Merkley,
The SHIFT-IT Coach
