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 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.

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 [...]
“My Wife or my Mom is walking her path and is taking me/us kicking and screaming but she wants me/us.” Facing your truth even when UNagreeable.
