Hypnosis for Half-Price!

Want to


Or

in time for bathing suit season? Guess what?!


YAY!!! We're having a sale!


If you've been wondering about our products, now is the time to CHECK US OUT!

The next CD isn't just for weight-loss. It's for anyone who has body-image problems--which is most of America. The great thing about this one is that there's a bonus CD that you can play in the car, at work, etc. You can't do that with the others because one of the first things he says is, "Close your eyes." Anyway, this is one of those that I listen to periodically to keep myself on track. I just started a new exercise program (more on that next week!) and this gave me the BOOST that I needed:


I love all his CD's, but this is my favourite:


When I first started working for him, I had just moved, was under a tremendous amount of stress, and blah blah blah. He did this process with me over the phone and then sent me the CD. The perpetual knot that I had in my stomach for months, melted away. This is another one of those CD's that I go back to again and again. It's the gift that keeps giving! And it's one of my CD's that I travel with. For those who are all i-Poddy, you can now download everything now, too.

Speaking of traveling, I'm on my way to NYC for a Jerry Stocking course. So I won't be blogging again until next Thursday. In the meantime, pop over to John Morgan Seminars and check out our sale. Just in time for Father's Day or Fido's birthday or to relaaaaaax . . . .

Serendipity

I was driving down the road, be-bopping to the The Goo Goo Dolls. Broadway is dark tonight...when I saw THIS:

See? No? Click on the picture. It says Broadway on the back of the truck. How cool is that? This is actually not the first time this has happened. I was in NYC last fall, following GPS Girl to Brooklyn when I crossed Broadway...while listening to the very same song. Speaking of NYC, I'll be heading out of the wilderness for another Jerry Stocking course. YAY!

June 5-7th
at Ripley-Grier Studios,
located at 520 Eighth Avenue,
16th Fl. (between 36-37th Streets).
If you want a taste of Jerry,
Friday night is *FREE*
Sat. & Sun. 9:30-5:30
Call Wayne at 706.754.4965.


And if you can't do the weekend thing, Jerry has added a stand-alone NLP-ish course this Monday night, June 8th, 7-10 p.m. It's called Alchemy Engine. Jerry says:

I call this particular pattern an Alchemy engine because it generates anything you want or disappears anything you don’t want. Science is about reproducing results, alchemy is about generating new, unpredictable results. The Alchemy Engine drives both perception and motivation easily and effortlessly and allows you to mix internal and external resources to empower all of your other work with NLP.

Perhaps this looks interesting or may even sound like something you'd like to do. Maybe you'll just get a feeling to go for it. You can register for Alchemy Engine, by calling Jamie: 732-266-1327 It's a $50 investment. Hope to see you there!

Dobsonian Quote-of-the-Day

Above is Dave Dobson's definition of maturity. Sometimes I remember to forget the need for approval. But sometimes I forget to remember to forget about spazzing out when I feel criticized. And sometimes, I actually remember to get curious enough to ask a question. Thanks, Dave.

Dee's Visit

My dear Reiki friend, Dee came for a weekend visit. We walked the labyrinth after we arrived:


Went for a walk and found:


Went for a longer walk . . .

In the gazebo of the wrap-around porch


Dee demonstrates proper T-Tapp form!

We found evidence of mice in my pantry! And determined that they were coming in under my door because the weather strip was not secured. All I needed was Dee and duct tape!

THANKS, Dee!

This mouse was on my doormat!

Cute when it's outside, vermin when it's in my house.
I'm paraphrasing Mum.


This is what we found in the pantry:

Mouse house from dust mop!

I didn't take a picture of what else we found.


The weekend was too short, and yesterday we traveled back down the road; s-l-o-w-l-y to conserve gas. I was on empty--YIKES! I've never done that before--not the place you want to run out of gas. We made it to the gas station with .45 gal to spare. YAY, us!


What a LOVEly visit! Here is our reminder to:

That's right. Stop and smell the roses!

Day of Rest

Smiling Dee at the overlook behind my house. :-)


Every time you
SMILE at someone,

it is an action of LOVE,
a GIFT to that person,
a BEAUTIFUL thing.

Good Enough Girl


Pictured above is a project that my niece completed in school. A few years ago, my nephew had the same Gallon Girl...errrr... Gallon GUY. Anyway, Brother D/MENSA GUY said, post-eye-roll: "You know, Gallon Girl would have TEN fingers is she were metric." [insert minor metric rant here]. I remember we were supposed to switch to metric back when I was in grade school. It never happened. Except for science class, everything was inches and pounds.

It's an interesting metaphor about change and growth. The metric system makes sense. It's accurate. Most of the rest of the world uses it and yet...here we are, continuing with Gallon Girls & Guys for the next generation. Why don't we change it? As Jim Collins would say, It's good enough. Our nation is not striving for measuring excellence and accuracy. We won't change it until we have to; until there's an absolute need to. Until then, we're stuck with 8 fingers.

Lessons from the Road

I was on the way to an appointment in Silver Spring, and I got lost. And yes, for those of you who are wondering, I was using the GPS. But it got confused.

Yes, it can and it did.

Anyway, I ended up on a quiet little street, and saw this:



And this:



Worth the 3-minute detour. BEAUTIFUL. :-)

3 years ago, I was on my way to a Brimhall seminar. I was on an unfamiliar highway and uncertain where I was. I got stuck on an off-ramp and was heading off the road when I managed to maneuver back over and onto the road--which was why I was pulled over by a police officer. He said to me that it wasn't worth risking an accident and that "even if you get detoured off the main road, you can always get back on if you need to."

I had been struggling about whether to go to Dave Dobson's Funshop. I had just finished massage school 2 days earlier, was seeing Brimhall the next day, and then flying out the next. The Funshop seemed like a detour and I was debating about going. Did I really need to go? It was a detour, and thanks to that police officer, I took it. I think if we're not picky about the messenger, the answers will come from wherever they will.
