I'm "Leanne"
I was named after my parents in a really interesting way.My name is Leanne.
The "L" came from my dad's name, Lloyd. The "e" came from my mom's name, Evelyn. And the "anne" came from my mom's middle name, Anne.
It's pretty cool that my name is a product of the two people that came together and gave me life. And it's pretty cool that the combination resulted in an actual name . . . or I might have a really strange one!
I don't really like my name though.
I'd prefer it to be Dawn.
But, I like how it was created and I like the meaning of it. "Leanne" means "graceful meadow" (from "Lee," meaning "meadow," and "Anne," meaning "grace").
That's actually pretty significant to me. I absolutely love nature and I can spend a lot of time in nature in my mind . . . freely strolling through meadow-like areas, feeling at one with the rocks, air, trees, plants, birds and water. I picture myself wearing white, flowing, light clothing that twirls and flutters in the breeze. It's all pretty graceful . . . although in real life, I'm far from graceful!
I'm a Pisces

I was born on March 11, so I'm a Pisces.
And if you're wondering the year . . . it's 1966!
I'm not into astrology or horoscopes but I am into personality and the Piscean descriptions describe me well in many cases!
- dreamy & introspective
- intuitive & insightful
- creative & imaginative
- compassionate for the down & out
- spiritual
- need solitude & seclusion
- open minded
- deep & care about what has eternal meaning
- a conundrum, a mystery of opposites (the Piscean symbol is two fish swimming in opposite directions)
- appreciative of beauty, nature, music, art & dance
I love this quote from the Pisces Sign website:
"Pisces daydreams are by no means vague; they are complete life stirring epics and are conjured up with a realism that can exceed the intensity and excitement of real life events . . . You could easily spend all your time in this dream world of yours and be perfectly content."
Very true! I often find myself in "thought-land."

Like Two Fish Swimming in Opposite Directions . . .
What Sign are You?
(Leanne Chesser's Birthday is March 11, 2010)
I'm a Rocket Mom!

Rocket Moms is a gathering of the smartest women on the web, working together to make Squidoo lenses (and a whole lot more).
I'm excited that I was invited to be part of the third group of Rocket Moms . . . and now I've just completed the fourth group as well!
I'm Going for Giant Squid

What's Giant Squid?
According to Megan Casey, "It's a VIP program on Squidoo for the best, most prolific lensmasters. Gotta have at least 50 terrific lenses in order to apply."
I'm going for 50 great lenses by December 31, 2009! I published my 50th lens on December 4 . . . now I apply.
And my goal is to go for 100 by March 31, 2010!
I'm a Green Personality
And also a bit blue in certain situations e.g. I have huge compassion for people who are in need (people who are homeless, people with disabilities).
So . . . sometimes I call myself "turquoise" . . . but mostly, I'm green.
These are my "green" . . . and "turquoise" characteristics:
- analytical, investigative, intellectual, a researcher, a learner, a synthesizer
- a "word-geek"
- intense
- task & idea oriented but also people oriented
- interested in the development of others
- accepting of others
- a listener
- an observer
- a discerner of people - can see into their hearts, can feel their emotions, can sense their character
- able to get to the heart of the matter
- able to understand the workings of the mind and what underlies observable behavior
- organized (lists, charts, schedules)
- thorough
- conscientious, reliable, dedicated, hard-working
- serious, yet goofy & rebellious at times
- quiet & shy unless I'm comfortable in a situation or unless I'm being goofy & rebellious
- loyal to a few deep friendships
- impatient
- stubborn
- a blend of head & heart
- totally clean & organized . . . or a total slob
- determined to get my way, which I think is right
It's Not Easy Being Green
by Kermit the Frog
I'm Green (Environmentally Friendly)
I'm not amazing in this area . . . yet.But I'm learning and implementing what I know in order to be green.
For example:
- I'm a vegetarian
- I use compact fluorescent bulbs
- I recycle
- I reuse things when I can
- I reuse scrap paper
- I give old clothing to second-hand stores
- I purchase recycled products
- I turn off the water when I brush my teeth
- I use my own grocery bags/boxes
- I take my lunch to work in a cloth bag, not plastic
- I don't smoke
- I pay bills online
- I turn off unnecessary lights
- I use towels more than once before washing them
- I use natural, biodegradable cleaning products
- I burn natural-wax, biodegradable candles
- I give to "green" organizations
- I use public transit.
And I believe in caring for our planet.
GREEN Tip of the Day

I love nature, especially plants & rocks! And I have it all over my house!
I Love Elephants
I just have a connection with elephants.
Not sure why, really.
But I love them.
I think they're beautiful and I care about their treatment.
I collect elephant figurines and I have tons of them around my house.
Check out this elephant site for a really cool mix of elephants and caring for the environment and my lens all about elephant poo poo paper.
I'm a Vegetarian

I became a vegetarian about 4 years ago, but I didn't like meat before that and I didn't eat much of it.
I finally decided that I needed to eat according to what my body wanted, so I stopped eating meat.
At first, I still ate fish, eggs and dairy because I originally became a vegetarian because I didn't like meat (and also because I believe it's a healthy way to eat).
Then I stopped eating fish and eggs because I came to care more about the environment and about animals.
I started s-l-o-w-l-y eliminating dairy . . . but I'm still not totally vegan.
I'm a Word Nerd & Writer
Words matter to me.That's partly because of my nerdy, green personality . . . and partly just 'cause I like words.
Actually, I don't like all words. I have a list of words that irritate me. Like "panties." And a list of words that are often mispronounced on a global scale . . . and that's frustrating! Like kilometer.
Seriously.
Think about it.
How do most people pronounce "kilometer"?
Like this: ki LOM e ter (with the emphasis on the "LOM").
But do you say: cen TIM e ter . . . or li TER . . . or ki LOG ram?
No . . .
It's supposed to be KIlometer, with the emphasis on the first syllable. Just like CENtimeter.
Anyway, enough of that petty stuff!
I also love to write.
I write in my journal.
I write poetry.
And I write e-books for my business.
You can find out more about that later on the page.
Yes . . . I'm Definitely a Word Nerd!

Office Supplies!
I'm also an office supplies nerd! I love sticky notes, pens, highlighters, cool binder clips, paper . . . and all that kind of stuff!
I'm a Mom
I can't believe how the time has flown!
My oldest son, Adam, was born on April 18, 1989. He's 20! He took some time off after high school to work, but plans to go into Audio Engineering/Music Production.
My son Neil is 18, born January 7, 1991. He wants to become a Police Officer.
My daughter Cassandra, 16, was born on January 15, 1993. She's in grade 11.
My youngest child is Stephanie. She's 13 and was born on June 12, 1996. She's in grade 8.
They're all unique and amazing individuals!
I'm a Teacher
When I finished high school, I got a B.A. in Psychology and I worked with adults with special needs in group homes.I worked my way up to supervisor, but I also had small children and the hours weren't what I wanted.
So, I decided to go back to school, get my B.Ed. and teach kids with special needs in the school system - better hours for my family.
So I did.
And I've been a teacher for kids with special needs for about 10 years now.
I currently work at a private school as the School Program Coordinator.
I'm a Learner

I love to learn.
I'm always learning.
I love to read. I love to figure stuff out. And I soak it all in like a sponge.
It's a foundational part of my personality. It's part of my vision for my life.
It's something I have to do . . . and something I believe in doing.
I'm a Coach
I'm also a life coach.
I decided that I wanted to create a business that allowed me to work from home, do what I love, and express who I am and what I'm all about.
So, I became certified as a life coach through Coach Training Alliance.
Currently, I coach network marketers with simple systems for success. I've developed a personal development system and I've written e-books on that. I've also created network marketing products. I do most of my work online and on the phone.
You can see more about that below.

I'm Passionate About Personal Growth

Personal growth is one of my greatest areas of learning . . . along with spirituality. I read all I can on this subject, attend workshops and seminars, and work on becoming the best me I can be.
This is one of the major areas of my coaching, even in network marketing.
I believe that your "mindset" is the most foundational aspect for success in life . . . and in business.

I'm a Spiritual Being

Ultimately, I believe I'm a spiritual being.
If I talk about who I really am, it's that. The human aspects I've written about on this page aren't ultimately who I am, although they're a part of who I am in my human experience.
And in my human experience, I'm here to learn and grow . . . and love.
