When the adult voices of our childhood are primarily warm, kind, encouraging, hopeful, validating, soothing and nurturing, we begin to develop a supportive voice within that can restore us to emotional balance when needed. As we mature into adulthood, this supportive voice becomes the voice of what I call our Inner Nurturer, our main source of validation, approval and reassurance.
Don't Just Set Goals - Achieve Them! Recently we have heard a great deal about goal setting and the power of clearly defined and written goals. It is well documented that people throughout history that we view as successful have had written goals. Abraham Lincoln said "Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing".
Dr. Romance writes: Many people ask me, “How will I know if I'm in love?” Answer: Anyone who's in love usually knows it; the real question should be are we mutually in love, or am I wasting my time? If you want to be secure in your primary relationship, knowing how to create mutuality and work together greatly increases the chance that you'll make it as a couple. When I’m counseling couples on the verge of divorce, it’s amazing how establishing mutuality allows the love to come back. Mutuality Prevents Heartache Hundreds of years ago, a Renaissance bard wrote:

A while back my husband and I were in a class where we were asked to spend a day keeping a tally of how often we complained. I thought I was a pretty positive person so this exercise would be pretty easy to do. Oh my gosh, was I surprised to discover how often I was thinking complaining thoughts, though I wasn’t expressing them. I was complaining all right, just not out loud. We were also asked to notice our patterns of thoughts. Did we tend to complain about other friends, co-workers, politics, our bodies, our helplessness, injustice, past abuses, lovers, etc.?

Movie stars might wear them to avoid being recognized in public. To the point that wearing an expensive pair of designer sunglasses gives people the i

Much of the research I have read from many renowned Psychologists shows that people miss out on upward of 68 % of all opportunities around them, simply because they are unaware of them or rather because they have not programmed their brain to be on the lookout for opportunity. Most people are locked in a coma of routine, habit and overinflated to do lists, so they don’t have time for anything else. They run on the hamster wheel of discontent and a self-imposed comfort zone, which is just familiar, but seldom if ever comfortable, so they miss all the important things around them..
When the question of what's the greatest athletic feat of all time arises, there are many candidates. There is Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point basketball game; baseball's Cal Ripken's 2,632-consecutive-game streak; and swimmer Michael Phelp's record eight Gold Medals at a single Olympics, to name three. To that list I'd like to add another for your consideration: Vito Bialla's Double Ultraman. What? You've never heard of Vito Bialla or a Double Ultraman? As Ricky Ricardo might h
I have been a WAHM for 10 years now. I started in data entry, moved onto mystery shopping, and ended in Virtual Assistance. I chose to become a WAHM when my second child was born. I knew that working in a brick-and-mortar business would not be worthwhile. All of my income would go for childcare. My first two gigs as a WAHM were very part time. I did not get to dive in and do it all the time. The data entry and mystery shopping gigs were limited by availability of work. I could only get so many assignments.
Making any relationship work is a challenge but >making a long distance relationship work can be especially difficult. Once the domain of traveling salesmen and military personnel, the advent of the internet has made the world a much smaller place, and relationships have now become global institutions. But while connecting via the World Wide Web and mobile phones has made it easier to communicate over vast distances, it can’t easily replace the physical connection that is lost when you are unable to see each other on a regular basis.

If you have big goals and dreams and want to achieve them – easier and faster – then, you may need to assess and consider resetting your mental "success thermostat." Here's what I mean … Picture an air conditioner thermostat that's set at 75 degrees. When the room temperature reaches 76 or higher, the thermostat kicks on the AC – cooling the room back down to 75. Inside your mind, you've got a similar thermostat. Because of preconceived notions or past experiences, it may be set for a certain level of success.

You can work with any of the Angels and Archangels by simply calling on them. For example, Archangel Michael focuses on protection and strength. So part of his job is to protect us with his strength and to teach us to stand in our own power. If you need protection or strength, you can call on him. All you have to do is say, “I call forth Archangel Michael for protection and strength.” That’s all. Just be quiet and see what happens. You will most likely start feeling some energies flowing through you, indicating Michael’s presence.
Contrary to popular opinion, karma is not fate. Man forges his own destiny through the power of his free will. God has given us free will to choose God over negative ego, truth over illusion, and love over fear. When we use our free will in harmony with the Will of God, we create peace, harmony, joy, and happiness in our lives. However, when we misuse our free will to hurt, manipulate and do evil, then we create sorrow, pain, and suffering for ourselves. We each reap what we sow. If we sow goodness, we will reap goodness. If we so evil, we will reap evil.
This past winter I was watching a football game with my husband and the TV camera panned across the stadium. A whole section of fans raised large foam fists with extended index fingers and shouted “We’re #1!” That moment got me thinking about what it means to be number one. Regarding what? To whom? What are the criteria? I remember being #1 in a spelling bee when I was in the fourth or fifth grade. And I was the shortest (and heaviest) girl in my second grade class. I guess that counts as #1 (although it’s not on my resume).

Recently, I was working with a local contractor, who was commenting about the performance of my employees. Since this was already a sore point with me, it didn’t take much to get me on the complaining track. After about 15 minutes, I had to stop. A stray thought flitted through my mind and for an instant I knew that there was a better way and that I just dumped on this person and I wished I hadn’t done that. He asked if I felt better. Actually, I felt worse. Angry emotions surged through me. I was ready to roll some heads. Stress at it’s finest!
