Posted on 03/31/10 8 Comments

I have always been driven by the need to improve; myself, my dogs, my students, the world, whatever. Recent I have taken up a new habit which I would like to share because it has been a good one for me.  On and off in my life I have written in a journal. More recently [...]

A Very Deep Sleep and Other Random Thoughts

Posted on 03/30/10 6 Comments

Home from Finland late yesterday. John and I went out for supper then I went to bed at 7:30 and didn’t wake up until 5 AM. I think I needed the rest. Normally I am a very light sleeper, last night I don’t remember John coming to bed at all, although he says I sat [...]

Posted on 03/28/10 7 Comments

It was hard to leave home again last Wednesday to head to my current teaching post in Finland, especially hard to leave Buzzy. Although he is much better I can’t help but feel the stress of me leaving may be contributing to his distress, but then I remember how very much Buzz loves John and [...]

His name is Gary King. He had a unique presentation on character and honesty. He spoke about “inconsequential lies” such [...]

A Neccessary Untruth

Posted on 03/23/10 23 Comments

So John and I have had this agreement when I go away to teach. It is that he will lie to me. I think it may be unfair to him, but he doesn’t complain and luckily he has rarely had to lie. So the agreement is, that if anything happens to one of my dogs [...]

Recovering from the Weekend

Posted on 03/17/10 1 Comment

Another very worthwhile use of my time spending 4 1/2 dayslast week at a Tony Robbins workshop. This time I saw things from a different slant as I was crewing for him. One of over 300 people crewing for a group of over 3500 participants. The cool thing about crewing is that they put on these [...]

Well, I was hoping not to leave the blog empty this week but wow, time flies. I did have time (with a great deal of help from Lynda) to get a couple of new workshops posted on the website. If you haven’t checked yet, do so now as two of the four are almost full [...]

Stressed?

Posted on 03/08/10 15 Comments Having a plan is the best way to tackle trial stress.

So the weekend was fun (in my opinion anyway). It was my first (but I don’t think my last) Creating Your Trial Stress State workshop. I executed more than 20 (some little and some big) stressors over the weekend (that I planned) and I am sure several others that I did not:).  I have a [...]

Creating the Perfect TSS

Posted on 03/05/10 18 Comments

So, I have a workshop this weekend that I have never taught before. I can’t really go into too many details because I know some participants read my blog. In order for this curriculum to be successful, it needs to be mysterious and scary:). The topic of the workshop is dealing with trial stress or [...]
