Okay…so the end of the world is near and none of us are going to heaven with any toys…or houses…or health care.  And this presidential race is scaring the hell out of me…and my health insurance may not pay for my surgery.  Which means…we may have to file for bankruptcy.  But besides all that….something very strange is happening.

No one else can see this.

But I can.

Wanna me tell ya?

Ya sure?

Here it goes.

Since my surgery (yes, the one that might put us in financial ruins!), I have noticed (more…)

I hadn’t had a chance to see this until this morning. Thanks to my fabulous friend Alix, it was hangin out in my inbox~

I am having a rough few weeks with writing…I have completed a few posts but, the rest of the time, I have felt blocked. I do some journaling, a bit of meditation…pour a cup a joe…sit down at my laptop and begin to write.  Within a few minutes, I am distracted.

This time I am not distracted by how pretty my nails look (oh, purty lavender pink) or by how messy my house is (was that a mouse or a gigantic fur ball that just went around the corner?). So, what the hell is going on in my little brain?  Well, I’ll tell ya. POLITICS!!!!  Yep.  Politics.

I read emails from friends (more…)

Good day’

This morning I woke up to rain! Not only is it raining out…it is nice and cool:) The type of weather makes me want to read a good book or pretend to write one:)

Ok…back to the topic at hand.

Lately, I have been working with many people on this whole concept of “ASKING.” And…this has been coming up for me too. No shock there! I think that many of us were raised in families that taught us that asking for what we wanted was rude…or selfish…or wrong.

In my family, if I asked for something, I was quickly reprimanded and shamed. I quickly learned not to ask for anything. I can remember wanting something at the grocery store (usually a hostess apple pie) and I would pray to God that my mom would figure this out and offer to buy me one. If she did offer this (which was rare), I would have to act all surprised…like I hadn’t thought of that. I would need to demonstrate appropriate gratitude. Then, I would have to wait until she offered it too me back at home. It felt very restrictive. There were all of these pot holes that I could fall into…and much of the time I did…so, this treat would be taken away until I was able to follow the rules properly.

It was a very stressful (more…)

Hello there!

I have been waiting for something brilliant to come into my little brain….something brilliant to write about on my blog…but…NOTHIN!

Zip!

Nada!

Why…you may wonder?

Well, it’s because I have been wondering what YOU might enjoy reading.

Not what I feel like writing about!

Whenever I get into these sorts of mind sets…my writing is doomed.

Now, I realize that you have never said: "Hey Lynne, I wish you would only write about nail polish and your neurosis concerning toilet paper being replaced when the roll is done!"

I also realize that none of this has anything to do with you at all!

It is conflict between ME and me!

When I get into this sort of head space, I like to go through my old posts and see which ones got the most comments. I am sad to say that the posts that received the most comments ARE the ones about nail polish and toilet paper! I have also noticed the blog posts that talk about certain topics with a more formal tone…get NO comments!

Folks…I can make up a TON of stories about this.

Depending on my mood.

Most of the stories I make up (more…)

Hello there!

It is a common phenomena that folks feel tons better after a session…or a conference….or a retreat….or…add your own self improvement experience here ________! Then, after a bit of time, all that great feeling begins to slip away. And soon…it’s gone. Swallowed by the day to day of life.

So, where does that good feeling go?

Did it take off to Tahiti? Maui? The Bahama’s?

(can you tell that I am TOTALLY missing the beach right now?)

Well, you see, we have path ways in our brain. Our synaptic responses follow the path of least resistance. Guess what folks? The path of least resistance is the path most used! Yep, that’s right…the path most used are made up of the thoughts that we think most often.

Another way to look at this is to imagine (more…)
