Read all about it!!



My wonderful sister has a blog dedicated to your one and only...ME! So read all about it at Hear Me Roar: http://heartasharoar.blogspot.com/ Also her link is posted in my Fav links section for your easy access. And yes, she does mention Scott in her blog, but hey, I will share my shining star.

I am getting ready to take my didj to the doctor. He seemed like he was getting better the last time I blogged. However, he has still been running high fevers and the congestion is getting the better of him. Poor little guy. I just worry that his viral infection has turned into a sinus infection or gone to his lungs since he is unable to take a deep breath. No worries my wonderful fans he has an appt at 1:50 and all will be answered.

I will continue on with more homework as soon as we get back from the doctors office. My super mother got me the book, "Attractor Factor" by Joe Vitale for my birthday. As suggested by my miracles coach. So I will dig into that book today
and dig deeper into my life changing process.

One conversation I have had that is extremely note-worthy is my conversation I had recently with my friend, Jeff. Jeff is a great guy living in Michigan. He and I recently were having a chat that led to talking about hate. I won't go full bore into the conversation as I respect his privacy. The energy that is put into hating someone or something is far greater than one would expect. A lot of energy goes into hate. I have to ask if that is worth it? The energy consumed could be far better spent putting your resources into making a difference toward that hate. Now I don't want it to seem like this conversation of hate was about
Jeff being consumed by it. We were just discussing the topic of hate. Just to clear the air here. I told him that I felt how people harbor hate and expend it is the difference between Helen Keller and Hitler. Or maybe an even greater example would be Anne Frank and Hitler. When we hate a person we are giving that person a lot of our energy. That is such a waste. Could we turn that hate into energy toward ourselves or maybe even helping others? Sure we can! It is all a choice that we make. So did Hitler know he was making the choice to hate? To expend energy against a race? Yes, he did. As sad as it may seem that is the choice we make. It is made more on a subconcsious level, but we can choose against that. Now believe me no one is perfect and by no means am I comparing anyone that hates or dislikes with Hitler. I am just giving you a known identity to help put yourself in check. Decide who you would rather be and set goals toward obtaining that life. make changes, big or small to be satisfied with yourself. You are all that matters! So make those choices based on what you want to see. Very important! Simple examples would be, "I hate traffic jams!" Can you instead harbor that energy taken towards hate and put it into washing your car. Or maybe even write a letter to a loved one. If fury is your friend then try kickboxing or soccer. Something that constructively expends your energy. If you are exhausted have you noticed how hard it is to expend that hate? Also if you hate a specific person, place, group or race, maybe try to see all sides of that hate. Where does it stem from? Is it a legitimate way to expend your energy? Is there a better way to solve the idea of hate? I am sure you can find something even if you dig! Even if you just settle on the fact that you are better for disolving your hate, then do that!


This is a pic of Nate and I going for a walk...then the downpour began. We got soaked! It was a fun walk and Zues had fun puddle jumping.

I would like to thank the readers of my blog. I love your comments and suggestions. If you read my sisters blog you will know that comments are what make a bloggers life all worth it. All your suggestions are wonderful. If you would like to ask me a question or have a blog request then let me know.

Blessings!

Namasté

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Redirected from Namaste)
Jump to: navigation, search

Namasté, Namaskar or Namaskaram (Sanskrit: नमस्ते [nʌmʌsˈteː] from external sandhi between namaḥ and te) is a common spoken greeting or salutation in the Indian subcontinent. Taken literally, it means "I bow to you". The word is derived from Sanskrit (namas): to bow, obeisance, reverential salutation, and (te): "to you".[1] Namaskar is considered a slightly more formal version than namasté but both express deep respect. It is commonly used in India and Nepal by Hindus, Jains and Buddhists, and many continue to use this outside the Indian subcontinent.

When spoken to another person, it is commonly accompanied by a slight bow made with hands pressed together, palms touching and fingers pointed upwards, in front of the chest. The gesture can also be performed wordlessly and carry the same meaning.

In Indian and Nepali culture, the word is spoken at the beginning of written or verbal communication. However, upon departure the only the wordless hands-folded gesture is made.

*In yoga, namasté is said to mean "The light within me honors the light within you," as spoken by both the yoga instructor and yoga students.*

Fun World


I am off today and my son is sick. What a great day! I really mean that I am not being sarcastic. I love spending time with my cutie. He is feeling better now. Wants me to get my homework and blogging done so that we can go get food. He hasn't eaten since last night so I suppose I should hurry. I have plans to go get food and then come home and 'spring clean.' Leanne is having a garage sale on the 21st of this month. I want to be able to put some stuff in it. I already gave her a bag full. In it was my beloved "bat girl shoes." I wore them with my batgirl costume quite a few years ago. Well SHOES ARE SHOES and you just can't go getting rid of them. I am proud of myself for letting go.

I have been reading a lot lately. Some of the advice I read has been so wonderful. I think I will start passing it on here in my blogs.
I just recently read an article about feeling overwhelmed and depressed. A lot of times in our lives we can get so caught up in the feelings of being overwhelmed by things that need to be done that we let that depress us. Looking around the house you see clutter and no time to clean. Step back and remove yourself for a minute. Take ten minutes a day to clean on one thing or area that you have been meaning to get to. Sometimes you have a full ten minutes to give, sometimes it goes over, sometimes you only have 2 minutes. Whatever it is set out with a goal of ten minutes a day. Be grateful the days that it happens. If you go over great, if not then that is okay. But set it aside. Or with exercise. Sometimes the idea of working out without instant results bores us. Set a goal that you will work out for one minute a day. Or five minutes a day. Whatever you think will be practical for you to meet. Same as with cleaning, 5 is perfect, more is great and 2 is fine. Get back on track tomorrow for just 5. You may find that you spend more time one day stretching and doing floor routine. As time allows it becomes habit. Now you only have 15mins out of your day to clean and exercise. How wonderful!
What about at work when you have a heated conversation with someone? The same "step back" approach works here as well. In the medical field we work closely and daily with people that are afraid. People have differing responses to this feeling. Some get mad, some ask a lot of questions, some get quiet. But no response is the right response. It depends on who is asking. In ER we have people get upset with us, (ER staff), frequently for various reasons. It is important to not let yourself get caught in the mix. For example, if a visitor is getting in your face about how long the wait is, take a step back and let them know you will be back to speak with them when the time is better for them. Then gather information for them. Fear stems from the unknown...what is unknown for them? Return with a compassion to help them resolve their fears with answers. You are the authority and they need answers.
This also works in the office setting. A co-worker gets snappy with you. Calmly reply that you will come back when it is a better time for them. Instead of getting sucked into the negative vibes. Its about taking 10 so that you can have a better attitude. Also being sucked in you may not recognize the reaction of someone else. Why are they acting the way they are? Has a co-workers mother just died? Did the patients father die in a hospital of the same symptoms? Was their ex a nurse so they hate nurses? It can be a number of things, but when you get caught up in the mix it makes it hard to have a full picture vs a narrow minded debate. Take the time to step back! You will be glad more often than not. From working in the ER we all know that the best answer isn't always the one you have. Attempting to see how people perceive the situation vs trying to get them to see your perception is the best goal to have. Or better yet, ask them their perception!

Have fun this week setting new time goals. My goal is 1 minute of sit-ups daily and 10 minutes of cleaning daily. I will keep you posted!

Was that a week already?




All the events and happenings going on in my life are seeming to fly by. I feel like I have accomplished a lot recently. As I sit here writing this at 3:30 am on my birthday morning a lot crosses my mind. Funny the things that will keep ya awake. As I might have mentioned before my goal for this year is to be successful in my business. Feeling that time is going to fly by I decided to dig into studying.
My first task is to catch up on works by Joe Vitale the founder of my miracles coaching program.
My miracles coaching program is getting off to a great start. I was emailed a 5 step program for creating and manifesting my intentions. As well as clearing a lot of false beliefs I have or need to be cleared from the past. These were very powerful exercises for me. I discovered a lot of limiting beliefs that I have in my mind. I feel as though I have cleared most of them and can now move forward. It is funny how the universe provides.
I strongly believe that if you are positive then you are provided with positive outcomes. Anything negative in your life, you have created. Either on a conscious or subconscious level. Good news about this is you can do things to help clear those negative happenings. So after this clearing exercise I believe that I have greatly helped myself on the road to an over all wealthy person. Wealth as an all encompassing factor...not just pertaining to money.
I also ordered some great teachings from Devin Hastings, another great hypnotherapist. He sent me a book that was on my amazon wish list and quite a few dvd's. I will be able to advance my training with all the research that I am doing to make me just that much better for my clients. Dvd's on hypnotherapy affecting weight loss, anxiety, OCD & diabetes. "Anxiety, OCD and Hypnosis: new answers for those who suffer in silence" by Devin Hastings. I can't wait to absorb them all. Hypnotherapy is such a powerful tool! I was saddened to learn that he didn't have any of the 'Emergency' dvd's left. This is the reason I choose to go into hypnotherapy...to help patients heal themselves in conjunction with the physician. He did give me the name of a book that is now highest priority on my amazon wish list!
My amazon wish list should have a cap on it because it is overflowing with books that I can't wait to read. My bookshelves are full of books read and waiting to be read. Ones I was afraid I would miss out on if I didn't get them right away. I have a great heartmath book that I am almost finished with. "The Heartmath Solution", by Doc Childre and Howard Martin. Great book! As I was watching the Joe Vitale video he mentioned even more books and people to check out. I believe in giving credit where due so I researched them and added them to my list as well.
What a wonderful field I have chosen! I am so happy with the path I am on. I am learning so much. As I learn I not only help myself, but learn how to help others as well.
Reiki has effected my life in so much more a way then I could ever
have imagined! I get to quickly and seemingly effortlessly help people. I practice on the people at work all the time. And my mother and son love it! I love that I can help them in such a powerful way. I can not wait to develop that path further as well. Becoming a Reiki master is one accomplishment I will be very proud of when that road is able to be taken.
I am so pleased with all the things happening in my life. It is funny how when you clear your mind and let it go, great things happen. Lets just say, the Universe provides! I will be thrilled to keep you updated on my successes as I meet them. I am no longer afraid of being successful, which was something I discovered and cleared. Now that is out of the way, WATCH OUT WORLD!
But first, some sleep for my birthday....

by the way, the pic is a photo I took of the Deception Pass bridge. great pics. I decided to be a bit more random with pics. Just post anything to share.
I also want to post items from my "Instant Karma" book that I have....things to do to get instant karma!

blessings!

Pic found....


I had been searching for a pic of Bushman's hair before it was cut. I finally found it! There was a length of hair that he had that was adorable. When he didn't flatten it like a helmet to try to get it to stay down that is. I think he looks best with short hair but his Bushman hair was adorable too. Yeah I know, that's because I am mom.

Going up River...


Today Didj and I decided to take a trip. Seeing how he had no school and I didn't have to work...why not?! So we started our journey at the Burlington Cafe. Such delicious food! Then we just started driving. I didn't know where I was headed, but Boo wanted to see some birds. In this pic you can see his bird book in one hand and binoculars in the other. We headed out driving along the Skagit river. What a gorgeous drive! The sun was out and it was a wonderful day. We would pull over and explore an area, then hop back in the car and find a new spot. Oh what a perfect day! We then decided to take the scenic route to Bellingham along Chuckanut. Again breathtaking views! We pulled into Boomer's for some dinner. It's this fun drive-up style burger place that comes a very close second to Big Toms in Olympia. Best burgers around! And Didj likes to just drive up and then eat in the car, although he isn't partial to the 50's music. I think it is a blast! Then back home and putt around some stores. With evil fraudulent activity on my debt card I couldn't use my card. Boy that is rough. But that might be the first time I walked through the mall and didn't get a thing! Then to top off the evening we headed to Big Scoop. Set up like a 50's ice cream shop...I remember going there with mom when we were younger. NO that wasn't in the 50's! All in all we didn't see many birds at all, but the time spent together and the beautiful views all made today's trip...and the gas, worth it! We saw a lot of future sites to hike. Including the trail that goes from Sedro to Hamilton. I can't wait for another day off together to explore more and hike around some more.

All New


OK so as requested by my loving sister...here is a pic of my Bushman's new hair. It is taken from my phone so it isn't a top quality pic...but hey! Now you can see my cuties new cut. Looks so much better!! And he loves fixing it in the morning. I have to laugh though because the show that he is following has it all spiked up. The pic shows how the stylist fixed his hair. He now spikes his all up, like Angel.
The name of this post is 'all new' for a reason, I have so much going on. I am delighted to share! First my Didj's new cut, then I talked with a great mortgage broker the other day and now have a path to follow to get me into a home. His name is Dean Hayes with Security First if you are need of a very knowledgeable person. And the best news of all is the Miracles coaching program that I have been accepted into. It is taught by Joe Vitale's team. Joe is a wonderful hypnotherapist in Austin TX. I am very excited to start. I will be getting one on one training for 3 months. So expect great changes from me!! I imagine it to be a pretty intense course that takes up a lot of time...but I am ready! And of course my laptop that I am using right now is new. So this blog will be slowly having pictures added as I get some added to my computer. What else?...I have been in contact with another great hypnotherapist, Devin Hastings. He is a genius in diabetes hypnotherapy, which recent events have encouraged me to look into learning this specialty. Devin also has a great emergency hypnotherapy program which he has given me some suggestions in that area as well. All in all I have had some great starts to many avenues in my life. I can't wait for them to unroll and learn from it all.
Look for the positive and it will come!

All in a blog...


I decided to give blogging a try. My sister has the best blogs and now she has dragged her boyfriend, Scott into the equation. I am not sure if he went willingly, but none the less he has a great blog as well. I hope to be able to provide a link to their blogs, so if that all works out...check them out!

Catch up: My son has had this, well, hilarious hairstyle for quite some time now. He is very interested in Australia. Everything about it. So he was growing his hair like a bushman's! And he was succeeding. The other day I took him to get it trimmed, now mind you he has been asked a MILLION times to cut it short. But the other day I let him know that once again he could cut it how he wanted. It just needs to stay clean. (A word not known by many teenage boys!) As we walked into the shop he decided that he wanted his new doo to look like Angels. (the old vampire TV show) Oh what relief he was deciding on his own to keep it short! And he even walked taller after it was all done. (Scott this would be a great cartoon theme as well.) He looks so HANDSOME now. He loves it and everyone at school does too. Funny how that works. Can I just say once, 'See moms do know what they are talking about.' But really he is a great kid. His love for animals and Australia has taught me a lot. I just don't know what I was ever doing without him!
Off to work on this blog....Until next time...na-noo, na-noo!
