When the hard drive fails . . . get your ego out of the way.

I am not talking about my computer. I’m talking about my mind.
Have you ever had one of those brain cloud moments where you know you should know something and you just can not call it up to your conscious mind? You are searching and searching for it but it as though your brain needs [...]

Being authentic

Last night I went to a CD release party at the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles for Curtis Peoples.  I had first been introduced to Curtis’s music when he played the same night as another band that I saw at the Mint.  For the last year I’ve been trying to get to a second Curtis Peoples show so I [...]

The Negative Energy Bounce

I had to write about this thing that happened to me this week because it was so dramatic.  I believe we are affected by the energy of others around us, and that often we can actually feel it and absorb it.  We can also learn to shield ourselves from the energies we don’t want to take [...]

If love is ice cream, you’ll never be thin!

I’m in the midst of making some big decisions in my life and it has me nervous.  I find myself craving my old friend ice cream!   This wouldn’t be so bad if I had any control and could have just one scoop of ice cream but once I start eating it–it as though there is [...]

Unsubscribing

I was talking with Karen the other day and told her I was reviewing the status of  all the automatic emails that I have been getting.  She agreed it was a good idea for her too so I thought I’d share it here.
Many times we decide to try something like an email newsletter and then [...]

Getting My Life Back

Lately, I am feeling alot like I imagine my ADHD child feels at times, or perhaps like people who are getting Alzheimer’s feel.  I have been scattered, having trouble concentrating and finishing tasks, and have piles of work everywhere.  I have had enough trouble getting the day to day stuff done, let along blogging and [...]

Commitment

I’m at a place with my food program and working with the nutritionist where I really need to decide how committed I am to signing up for more sessions. The last few weeks, I have been up and down with following the program which means I have been paying for assistance and not following [...]

Early morning teleconference–are you listening to your body?

I just got off the phone from teaching an early morning teleconference for the University of Texas –teaching nurses and other healthcare providers about Five Minute Stress Management Strategies.  Those of you who know me, know I love to speak!  Speaking on a teleconference mode is interesting because all the cues about whether the audience [...]

Clearing Things Out - Getting Back Space and Time

I am catching up today after last week.  We had our Goddess Charity and Fun night on the 24th at the spa, and it was the best one yet.  Thanks to all who attended!  Really fun, lots of new people, and we raised over $1000 for Circle of Hope, Inc. a charity that helps people [...]

Practicing What I Preach/The Value of Talking With Friends

First topic today:
Today I am confessing that one of the things I realized from my health assessment is that I need to attend to my mind, and do things for me.  As you know, Carol and I are in the business of helping others with our hypnotherapy and other services.  I have noticed, however, that [...]
