EMPTYING YOUR FEELINGS

A close friend of mine is facing major cardiac surgery.  This knowledge has filled her with stress and anxiety.  She told me, "...at bedtime i am experiencing such anxiety...."
This is something I used to experience, too. 
I have a very easy method for removing it.
It is VERY important to take your time.  Really concentrate and experience each point thoroughly. 
You're in control; you remove the fluid.  At the end you will feel lighter and less anxious. 
I'll be sharing this with my friend .

• sit in a comfortable chair.
• close your eyes.
• listen to your mind
• clear your mind
• accept this experience
• focus on your breathing
• see your body as an empty, clear cyclinder
• fill this same cylinder with a colored liquid.
• notice the color and consistancy of the liquid *
• notice the cylinder is now completely full
• "create" there being faucets at the ends of your fingers and toes
• slowly open these faucets.
• watch the liquid draining out of each faucet
• see that your cylinder is now empty
• take a spatula and remove all remaining traces of liquid
• concentrate on the now empty, clean feeling.

* it's your choice to fill your cylinder with the appropriate color and consistency.
   if someone has anger issues, their cylinder may have red or flaming orange color
   if someone has depression issues, their cylinder may have thick gray or dark liquid.
   you get the idea.

OUTRAGEOUS OLD WOMAN

I want to live to be an outrageous old woman...

who is never accused of being an old lady

I want to have ten-thousand lovers

in one love.....

one, 70-year-long, lasting love.

I want to get leaner & meaner,

sharp-edged,

the color of the ground....
                                                          
till i discorporate.

THOUGHTS OF LOVE

For me, love has always been like
a small cloud of smoke drifting through my life.
I reach out to touch it, and my hands plunged
right through, as it drifted on.


Loneliness has the heart in hibernation the winter of the soul.
like seeing many, beautifully-wrapped empty christmas boxes.

A PAINFUL MEMORY REVISITED.

Some days, it's harder to remember that I make a difference at my job.

Yesterday was one of those days. 

Over a year ago, we had a 2 month old who was DOA from home.

Let's call him Toby. His mother was having a hard time sleeping, so she placed a pacifier in Toby's little mouth, and taped it onto his face. As irrational as this seems, I believe she did this so he wouldn't "lose" the pacifer, and wake up. She could get through a night without his waking and crying. with Toby's continual sucking on the pacifier, the tape became wet and soggy.

It migrated to his nose and covered it.  so, toby had no way to breathe. as shocking as this story is...the outcome of her case was even more shocking to me. she received 2 to 6 years for this crime. Verdict finally handed down yesterday.

Selling Your Self Image by Mr.Roger

I truly believe with all my being that we are always pitching, selling ourselves. I also believe that this is not a bad thing.



The simple act of reaching out to people and trying to connect is an act of persuasion. Most of us care whether people like us or not and understand that when we are liked and admired, we are more able to get the things we want. This is a universal truth demonstrated repeatedly by successful people everywhere. The million dollar question is, are we liked by the right kind of people who can help us get what we want out of life? A successful salesperson is a unique commodity and worth their weight in gold.

Unfortunately, selling has gotten a bad reputation. The dictionary definitions (relevant to tonight’s topic) are “to convince of, to gain acceptance.” In relevance to that, sales have acquired some unfavorable definitions such as “to cheat or dupe, a hoax or swindle.” It is associated with being phony and inauthentic, forcing people to buy things they don’t want or need.” We all at some point in life have experienced the humiliation and exasperation of feeling that we were taken for a ride. I feel that familiar irritation creeping up on me when I listen to those trying to disillusion everything we stand for and are trying to accomplish. I can only wonder how it is affecting the people that I’ve take responsibility for in sponsorship. This is not what I think of when I sell, and this is not where we are going with this. Rather, I want to set forth some ideas about selling and pitching that are honest, genuine, and borne of deep interest in other people.
