A is for Apple

I just read two articles, one about Super Anti-aging Foods, and the other about burning fat faster. They both mention APPLES ! Yes, it's true, the old adage, that an apple a day keeps the doctor away.

Apples contain fiber and enzymes, which when eaten 20 minutes before a meal, will help you feel full faster, so you will consume smaller portions. Also, apples are SUPER foods, which contain polyphenols which extend life and health.

It seems that eating apples is a very easy way to promote health and longevity!

I'm So Grateful!

And now, I'm grateful to be able to announce a new workshop, called Raise Your G-Q, Gratitude and Personal Development Workshop, on Sunday, May 26, at Unity Church of Palm Harbor. This is a 2 part workshop, with a follow-up 4 weeks later, on June 23.

 

This is what Christina Hibbard said about gratitude and appreciation:

"Gratitude teaches us to appreciate both the rainbow and the storm."

Gratitude is nothing more than saying Thank You, which acknowledges your appreciation for something and validates the other person. The Benefits of expressing gratitude are simply amazing! It increases reduces stress, improves your immune system, and increases your mental clarity! Take the Gratitude and enjoy all the benefits!

Raise Your G-Q (gratitude quotient)!

New Opportunities

Everyone wants to start something new, it seems! This is a prayer/meditation that I found in the book, You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay:

In the Infinity of life where I am, all is perfect, whole and complete. My unique creative talents and abilities flow though me and are expressed in deeply satisfying ways. There are people out there who are always looking for my services. I am always in demand and can pick and choose what I want to do. I earn good money doing what satisfies me. My work is a joy and a pleasure. All is well in my world.

I definitely recommend this book.

Playing Golf and Hypnosis

People ask me Can hypnosis really improve my golf game? The answer is yes. Ask any successful player. Many have used hypnosis and visualization to help their game. Of course, they won't tell you about it. They want to be the only one with the hypnotic advantage!  

I just read a book by Chi Chi Rodriguez. It has some great tips for playing golf and even for LIFE!

Only fools live in the past. In medal, a golfer has to learn to immediately forget the last shot, good or bad, and move on to the next one. Compliment yourself on a ball well hit or scold yourself for a poor shot, but then move on quickly. You've got to get out of the past. Put a price on each swing and you'll learn to concentrate and scramble around a golf course to save every shot. Even on a bad day, it's better to lose only a little money, and every stroke you save is change that stays in your pocket. Play every shot as if it is important, because it is.

That's a quotation from the book, Chi Chi's Golf Games You Gotta Play.

Good Night, Uncle Al

My godfather, the atheist, passed away a month ago.

He loved to plant things, especially tomatoes. He loved his garden. He even loved driving his tractor mower. I miss him now, but it will be especially hard this summer when I see the tomatoes growing in his garden.

He loved cats.

He bought a nice large house so that he could have visitors.

He was a lawyer, a judge, and a democrat.

He was in the army when I was a little girl. He went to Fordham Law School. He liked living in Manhattan, but moved to Staten Island after starting a family.

After my mother retired and moved away, he invited me and my family to Thanksgiving dinners.

Thank you, Uncle Al.  I'm glad we got to spend Thanksgiving together last year.

Spring Break Rules

It's Spring Break and many fortunate children are home underfoot instead of in school. I recently came across a list of house rules that may be helpful to parents at this time.

House Rules

If you sleep on it...make it up.
If you wear it...hang it up.
If you drop it...pick it up.
If you eat out of it...wash it up.
If you step on it...wipe it up.
If you open it...close it.
If you empty it...fill it up.
If it howls...feed it.
If it cries...love it.

another version from Ann Landers:

HOUSE RULES
1. If you open it, close it.
2. If you turn it on, turn it off.
3. If you unlock it, lock it.
4. If you break it, repair it.
5. If you can't fix it, call in someone who can.
6. If you borrow it, return it.
7. If you use it, take care of it.
8. If you make a mess, clean it up.
9. If you move it, put it back.
10. If it belongs to someone else and you want to use it, get permission.
11. If you don't know how to operate it, leave it alone.
12. If it doesn't concern you, don't mess with it.

Good Luck and have a great vacation!

Today's Favorite Book

The best book I read today was:

Three Feet from Gold
by Sharon Lechter and Greg Reid

I couldn't put it down. It was very interesting. It wasn't what I expected. It says Think and Grow Rich on the Cover, so I thought it was written like that book which is over 80 years old. It was much better. The book is like a novel, written in modern language. I liked it. That's my book report.



It's available on Amazon, new or used!
