Welcome to the Ruby Red Slipper ClubTM

March 4, 2007

Hello!

Welcome to the Ruby Red Slipper ClubTM! Do you remember the first time you saw The Wizard of Oz? It’s a fascinating, magical movie and I’ve recently become curious about exploring the lessons of The Wizard of Oz and Dorothy’s journey of self-discovery. And also, to celebrate that, in some way, we are all like Dorothy and the characters in the Wizard of Oz. Perhaps it’s no accident that my last name is Garland.

My purpose in starting the Ruby Red Slipper Club is to share with you the joy in the journey of life – each of us has our own Yellow Brick Road – and to provide you some food for thought and inspiration for you to uncover what you want and how to get there.

You know the plot, Dorothy and her dog Toto are whisked away to the Land of Oz by a cyclone that hit her home in Kansas. During the rest of the movie, she is on a journey to find her way back home. She didn’t think she had the power in her to really get what she wanted. Of course, that is the central lesson of the movie. Dorothy had it in her all along to get back home.

You have everything you need to get what you want from life. Sometimes, like Dorothy, it takes adventure, hardship or unusual circumstances for you to define what you want and actually get there.

I’ll send you ideas and inspiration through email and eventually may start a blog. As I write this, the plan for the Ruby Red Slipper Club is unfolding and I’d love your ideas.

Next time, I’ll write about addressing your fears of going for your dreams.

I encourage you to forward this to your friends and have them reply so I can add them to the Ruby Red Slipper Club list. And email names and addresses will only be used for my purposes.

Have a wonderful week!

Cordially,

Kathy Garland
Founder of the Ruby Red Slipper ClubTM
