When I moved, to get to know more people, I went to many mainstream and conscious living networking gatherings. Some gatherings can be tough at times because what I do can be controversial – Hypnotherapy, EFT, NLP, Astrology, Numerology and Birth Order – and I can take some negative hits every now and again.
When I [...]
I was walking in my neighborhood with one of my neighbors and she said, “I don’t want to be judgmental, but I’ve seen a couple of teenagers in trucks driving through the neighborhood and…” Another neighbor drove by when I was planting flowers and stopped to say, “Do you want me to call about (blah [...]
I received an angry comment from one of my videos at http://www.michellepayton.com/video-clips.htm titled “Are Today’s Kids Gifted? How to Educate our Children.” In a nutshell, this person was very bitter when it came to children and felt they are all misguided.
As a mother of three dependent children at the moment while simultaneously seeking enlightenment – [...]
I moved from a conservative area to a more liberal area to (in part) be among a larger population of “my people.” Generally speaking, I’ve thought of a liberal as being more open-minded until recently.

What if you had to write a eulogy for someone that did you harm? Could you connect success in life because of your experiences? Who or what would you write about?
In my quest to find out more about the paternal side of my family (where my American Indian heritage originates), while striving not coming in [...]
Over the past year I have metaphysically pondered how my closer “work”-related friends are doing now that they have crossed over. I say “work” related as a conscious living professional (worked together on events, projects, or a part of my companies/non-profit ventures…) and spiritual sense (my pathwork).
Bill Mitchell was an icon in the psychic world, [...]
In a networking chat group that I am associated with, a professional said (in summary), “If you’re negative your business (and life overall) will fail.” This overly used mind/body type remark has become increasingly unproductive over the years and now people are keeping “Their Own Secret” that they don’t always buy into having sunshine blown [...]
As the adrenal settles, I am moving into a winter state.
After five years of research and planning, I reached a major goal (5 representing new and change)–I moved my family to a new area – Asheville, NC. It hasn’t been without many bumps and bruises. The staging of the house to be sold (one year [...]

What’s in a wave?
Even as a child I’d always been one for waving at people as I walked by. But as I got older and people didn’t wave back I changed my approach to giving smiling eye contact and a nod as I walked by. (Then, if I didn’t get a little nod back it wouldn’t be quite [...]
As I sat in my Asheville, North Carolina home watching a morning show sipping my tea, an author of a “stay young” type of concept said that living in the mountains extends your life. The left brain stats say that one of the reasons is certain cancers can’t develop as aggressively with less oxygen to [...]
