It still surprises me when a light bulb flash turns into an aha moment. Yesterday I hadrepparttar light bulb flash that grew and grew until it gave me a big smack upsiderepparttar 120748 back of my head this morning.

Yesterday was like most of my days, yet while writing yesterday’s article, I stopped mid sentence, and my thoughts went back to an ezine article I read early that morning. It was one of those times when your thoughts completely jump to another circuit -- you knowrepparttar 120749 kind.

Quickly I dashed downrepparttar 120750 hall and corner with lightening speed. Not. Just walked. I had always wanted to write that, I know cute, Catherine. What caught my attention wasrepparttar 120751 contest announcement in that ezine. I remembered that Janice (name not changed to protectrepparttar 120752 innocent) would be interested inrepparttar 120753 information since she wrote poetry. I found it and e-mailed herrepparttar 120754 info. Cut and dry, huh? I thought so to, but not quite.

Later that evening during our coaching session, Janice mentioned how she appreciatedrepparttar 120755 information but she didn't write poetry for children. Oops, I didn't even see that important detail. However, she appreciatedrepparttar 120756 thought and explained that it gave her a flash of another contest she knew about that she had always wanted to enter. As she was talking about this, I remembered my childhood try at poetry. "Now where did I put those" came to mind.

Yes, you guess it; I went looking for my old poems afterrepparttar 120757 call. Including staying up past midnight reading them again and chuckling on my mindset atrepparttar 120758 time. I even wrote quote a few on President Kennedy’s death -- but that’s another topic. I chose three, submitted them, and went to bed pleased with myself about taking some action with them.

Did you know thatrepparttar 120759 difference between a light bulb moment and an aha moment isrepparttar 120760 depth of experience in whatever is occurring. Light bulb isrepparttar 120761 flash,repparttar 120762 aha is when you makerepparttar 120763 connections between that and other experiences in your life.

This morningrepparttar 120764 aha part ofrepparttar 120765 light bulb moment hit me --repparttar 120766 marketing aspect to all this. In order to give you a complete picture, let me includingrepparttar 120767 "ad" I found inrepparttar 120768 ezine. This is a quote.
