I think my dentist is on to me. Over the past year I have noticed an increase in their efforts to remind me of my appointments. In the good old days I would get a postcard two weeks before the appointment reminding me of the day and time. I really appreciated this as most of my dentist appointments were made six months out when I actually had no idea of what I would be doing at that time. Next came the reminder phone calls about two days before. More recently this has progressed to also include several email messages and a text that asks me to hit reply to confirm I will be there.

The most impassioned, powerful time of a physical interaction with a woman is early on in dating, when you don't even know each other as more than strangers. Ironically, it is also the most fickle, fragile, and potentially confusing time - one of missteps and miscommunication because it is so much about the physicality of the body and less about conversation. There is a reason for all of this, and for why it can be so enticing for men and women to indulge in everything from that romantic first kiss on one end of the spectrum, all the way up to a one-night stand on the other:

In my work on the dynamics of smoking, I have found that a smoker exerts a strong mind over matter effect on the body to allow themselves to smoke which in turn makes it difficult to simply stop smoking.

It is well established in psychology that attitudes and beliefs affect thoughts. Thoughts in turn, affect our behavior, our bodies and even our state of health.

The title of this week’s article may be a bit funny, but it is 100% true for at least one poor chap, and I’m sure there are many others just like him.

In the last couple years, you’ve been hearing this word more often. Storyboard your sales presentation. Storyboard your video. Storyboard your whiteboard. Storyboard your sales pitch. Hey, everyone is talking about it… What’s the story? First, let’s clear up the ‘name’ confusion. Some people say ‘storyboard’ while others say ‘blueprint.’ Some people use the term and don’t have a clue what it really means. Others are thinking purely about graphic layouts—not a combination of pictures and words.
The plane next above the buddhic plane is the so-called atmic plane, or plane of Atma. On the atmic plane there is total freedom and bliss. Here even the limitations of the Soul body are broken through. This is a place of beingness where the Soul knows that there are yet vaster realms of beingness to explore. One needs to develop their atmic senses to experience this dimension of reality. The Integrated Ascended Master realizes that integrated ascension is the process of ascending through all these higher planes of reality, which are but signposts on the way back Home to God.

As a friend of mine is given to say, "none of us gets out of this life alive." Top of mind today are the soldiers and others who are valiantly fighting for our freedom. They have chosen an endeavor where danger, crisis and trauma surround them. But in life – as in war – there are no unwounded soldiers. Our police and firefighters experience physical and psychological wounds each day. Those of us going through life in a more "ordinary" way – mothers, fathers, bankers, laborers, athletes, children – also face our share of challenges.

One of the most frustrating things for a listener is not hearing what the other person is saying. They are listening but they’re not hearing. After repeated attempts asking the speaker to increase his/her volume, they stop listening. If you want others to hear your message, then you must learn how to increase your volume properly. Yelling is definitely not the answer. You have a normal, natural volume level that you have not been using for any number of reasons. 1. Possibly you were raised in a quiet household. 2. Your mother or father spoke softly.r
