Last spring, we planted the seeds for the repotting movement when we launched our book, Repotting: 10 Steps for Redesigning Your Life. Now, as we give speeches throughout the country, we are harvesting what we sowed. Repotters approach us in every venue–from soccer fields to conference rooms–to tell us how grateful they are for this guidebook to help them in their journey of transformation.

This week, for instance, we were in Baltimore at the National Association of Independent Booksellers conference. Our book was featured at the Hay House booth, and we were overwhelmed by the interest and personal stories we heard during our special author book signing. There is just something about repotting–people who are contemplating or engaged in this process look, feel and act energized!

Now, it’s on to a more corporate venue–Emory University’s Goizueta School of Business–and their executive women’s conference, “Advancing Women Together,” this Friday in Atlanta. For this group, we’ll be applying the repotting philosophy to working women to help them “blossom where they’re planted,” or to be more productive and creative in their current jobs.

One of the main factors motivating repotters is the need to give back. Join us in supporting Community in Schools (CIS), a non-profit organization, founded by Bill Milliken, that seeks to halt the high drop out rate among high school students (30% do not graduate). Milliken’s recently published book, The Last Dropout-Stop the Epidemic!, tells you how you can make a difference. The Founder and Chairman of Hay House, Inc., Louise Hay, has adopted this charity, and we hope you’ll support it as well. Click on the following link to learn more about it:

As you go about your fall activities, keep in mind that friends and acquaintances may be repotters. Don’t hesitate to start a repotting conversation, whether it’s in your next book club meeting, in the coffee ship, or at a child’s soccer game…..you never know what you’ll learn that will help you, or someone else, on this journey.
