About

I have been hearing the term ‘team work’ for a long time, but I don’t think that I have actually understood the concept. In the USA, we live in a society that tends to admire self-sufficiency. Our roots are tied to the pioneers who struck out and survived by their own wits and efforts. However we tend to forget that those individual efforts usually had others involved in support roles. The pioneers had to have wheel-wrights, water-wrights, cart-wrights and others who helped them get to where they were going.

These pioneers also quickly realized that survival often depended on others and the strength of numbers. It was dangerous and suicidal to break off from the wagon train and head of across country alone.

There were mountain men who hunted and trapped in the mountains, staying out on their own for months at a time but they still relied on the trading post to be there when they came down from the mountain. They had to convert their pelts into corn meal and tobacco. They needed people.

We still need each other even though we don’t want to admit it. An individual can have a grand idea but that person still needs others to work with them to see it come true. Our founding fathers started with one person with a grand plan but it took many to make it come true and many of those lost their lives for the effort.  In business, team is very important. An individual can try to be the marketer, accountant, attorney, but in trying to do them all they will do none of them very well. It is best to stick with what you do well and have others do the rest.

When people come together for a common effort, amazing things can happen. A whole country maybe born. Who do you work with?

The “Soul Mate Workshop” was Saturday. I should have looked at my horoscope Saturday morning. According to tarot.com my horoscope said “It’s nearly impossible to keep on schedule today, so you might as well not even try”, that about says it all. The group was small and people brought specific questions which caused the schedule to go out the door very quickly. We may not have stuck religiously to my schedule but the energy was there and I did see a lot accomplished.

The plan was to look into past relationships to determine what you want and don’t want in a relationship. Past relationship patterns are also important to locate. Once you see a pattern, you can disrupt it or recognize it when it is occurring again.

Then we looked at what an ideal relationship would be like for each person. You have to be clear on what you want before you can see it or even recognize it when it comes to you.

The next step was to delve into the energy, ideas, writing on your interior walls that is holding you back. This is where it really strayed from the plan. This is an important area to investigate for any plan whether it is finding your soul mate, or releasing excess weight, or even visualizing a bigger, better future, so I did not mind spending extra time in this area as it was needed.

The last section was how to get where you want. The work in the previous sections was mainly to lay the groundwork for this section.

After all was said and done, much was accomplished. I had a call today (Monday) from one of the attendees and she was all excited. She had met someone Sunday and no red flags came up! (We had spent considerable time talking about red flags and to not continue a relationship if a red flag is waving).

This was a great and potentially life changing workshop, sorry you missed it!

Today is my Soul Mate workshop. I think every one deserves and can have a special romantic relationship. I even believe that if your spouse, your love of your life dies, you can find another romantic soul mate if you so desire. Look at how many billions of people there are in the world. Surely there can be more than one special person for you. Don’t get me wrong, I am a firm believer in one at a time relationships. It takes energy and time to devote to a person and a special relationship. There is no room for two in such a partnership.

So if you are by yourself, and truly desire a romantic partner, don’t give up. Think positively and keep your eyes open for opportunity. When that opportunity comes you still have to act. You cannot sit there like a lump. Get up and do something. Go out there and enjoy life. When you are enjoying yourself you are more attractive and people will gravitate to you. Your special intended maybe one of the ones who will be attracted to you so always be aware.

What do we really need to eat? We hear so many things about what to eat and what not to eat. The food pyramid keeps changing according to who is spending the most on lobbyists in Washington. What is a person to believe? I have a friend who was a nutritionist, counseling people on their diets. She told me she had clients who would follow her instructions to the letter and not get better or even get worse! Then there would be those who would eat whatever they darn well pleased and would improve! She finally left the field when the ‘standards’ kept changing every year.

The body breaks foods down into usable forms for the body. Carbohydrates break down into glucose, fructose and galactose which are used as energy or stored as fat. Lipids (fats) break down into monoglycerides and fatty acids. Proteins break down into peptides and amino acids. Then there are vitamins, minerals and water that the body uses. That is it. The slice of cake breaks down just as the rice cake does. The Turkey breaks down just as the roast beef. The butter and the Crisco both breakdown. What is all the hoopla about? What is going on?

I have seen overly obese people who could gain weight on a liquid diet. Then there are those who can eat a $100 worth of groceries every week and not gain a pound.

What I see going on is that no one is taking emotions into consideration. Our emotions control more than the average person realizes. The grossly overweight person who gains weight no matter what diet they go on may very well have an issue about protection. That layer of fat is there to protect them. No way are they going to lose that. The real issue has to be addressed. What exactly do they need protection from? It may be childhood issues of abuse or it may be a bad marriage. It is interesting that the few lesbians (two couples and a single). I have known were all fat and came out of abusive heterosexual relationships.

If you are trying to lose weight and not succeeding, make an appointment at www.naturallyresilient.com and eliminate your emotional issues so you can finally shed those pounds.

Second Sight: An Intuitive Psychiatrist Tells Her Extraordinary Story and Shows You How To Tap Your Own Inner Wisdom by Judith Orloff, M.D. is a biography of her life and insights along the way. Don’t let the word biography scare you. This is anything but dull dry reading. I was fascinated throughout the book. I enjoyed it so much that I had to buy a second book because my husband wanted to read it at the same time and I would not let go of the book! Judith is a medical intuitive. Her premonitions as a child had scared her and she tried hard to rebel against them. Her mother was very strong willed and was alarmed at the premonitions that her daughter had. Judith finally came to terms with her ability and learned how to incorporate it into her medical practice even though years of medical school tried to squelch it out of her. Judith has great pointers on developing and using intuition. Even though she has always had a natural ability in this area, her insights have helped me in developing my own intuition. This is a fascinating read, however if you read it before going to sleep you may discover the clock is reading 2:00am and you still don’t want to put the book down. I think I will read this one again.

The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom, A Toltec Wisdom Book by Don Miguel Ruiz is a book I have read several times and I get something new out of it each time. I have also loaned my copy out to friends and recommended it to many others so now I am recommending it to you.

I really believe if you keep the 4 agreements in mind when you are dealing with people and living your life, your life will go more smoothly. I could list the four agreements here but then you would get the wrong idea and think you already know it all. Don Miguel Ruiz really explains each of the agreements and what they mean and why they are important. He uses many examples.

This book has helped me keep an even keel when I deal with difficult people. I found the most meaningful agreement was the second one ‘Don’t take anything personally’. Just this one agreement can help you stay calm when in the midst of emotional storms created by those around you.

It you would live your life to these 4 agreements you would live a happier and more productive life.

1. Where you are now
2. Where you want to be
3. Why you are not already there
4. How to get where you want.

I will be using various techniques to help you activate the ‘Law of Attraction’ to bring that special someone into your life.

“We don’t see things as they are. We see things as we are.”
—- Anais Nin

We all put our own spin on what we hear and see and then we don’t understand why every one else does not agree with our opinion. If we all could experience events from the same perspective, we would all have the same opinions: how dull.

Most of the time we imagine what is going on with the other person. We reason in our mind what is going on and in doing this we create stories. Usually these stories and assumptions have a negative bent to them. For example if someone does not agree with your opinion you may be quick to say “they are just stupid” or “how can they miss this obvious point”. We are quick to make these negative assumptions. Why is that?

If we are making things up anyway, why not make something up that is positive or at least something that would make sense for the situation. You see someone speeding and your first impulse is to get in front of them and go slow. Second impulse is to wish the police would stop them for reckless driving. But would your opinion change if you knew that they just got a call from the hospital and were told if they wanted to see their child alive they better get there quick. I have actually known someone in that position.

In my experience, people do the best they can in their situation. People do not wake up and say “I wonder what dumb things I can do today?” Yes some people are smarter than others but each is doing what he/she thinks is best at each moment no matter what the IQ.

Live your life with forgiveness and compassion; you don’t know when you will need that from someone else for your dumb decisions.
