Why did he shoot?

The "Colorado shooter" went to a theater and shot at the crowd, resulting in 12 deaths and 48 injuries. Thank God it wasn't more. It seems his weapon jammed. Thank God!

This person had been stockpiling artillery in his apartment for months. He booby-trapped his apartment before leaving to go to the theater. Where was he planning to go afterwards? The police were smart enough not to enter through the front door. How did they know? If it was known to the authorities that he had been buying weapons, ammunition and explosives on the Internet and having it delivered to his address, why wasn't anyone following him around? Why couldn't this whole tragedy been averted? The authorities knew about the weapons, why wasn't anything done BEFORE the tragedy?

We live in a very disturbed society. Violence is everywhere. It seems that courtesy and compassion have disappeared.

Everyone is wondering why he did it. I'm not sure this is the right question. My question is, why aren't more people going ballistic?

Enemy of Memory

The enemy of memory is stress. I am now convinced. I am scheduled to present Memory Enhancement with Hypnosis on August 11 at the national convention and I am so stressed, that I am forgetting everything. I almost forgot my dentist appointment yesterday!

I just read a good article with tips to improve your memory and concentration:

Hot Flash: Is it hot in here?

I am in the process of making a video about the quickest ways to quell hot flashes. I will post the link here as soon as possible.

Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqS9D1RDpjE
Keep cool!

One Hundred Forty One

What is this??! It says 141.2 on the scale this morning. Groan. Bad Scale! Stop that!

I liked it much better when it said 139. But I think I am headed in the right direction. I'll get back on track. The scale is NOT as important as the white jeans, which I did wear on Sunday!~

As my personal trainer says, you can eat anything you want, just watch the portion size!

It's not easy to watch calories when there is a cookout. Portion size is very important. But I do think it is wise to avoid certain things like deserts. For me one little piece of pie is not enough, so it's better if I just choose watermelon instead.

Also some hypnosis and apples today. It's a good idea to eat an apple before you go to the cookout, so you don't pig out on the chips before the hamburgers are cooked. And hypnosis is good for staying motivated by imagining how great you will look and feel when you weigh 136 pounds.

One Hundred Thirty Nine

Hooray! I'm finally under 140!!! just 4 more to go!

I'm slimming my middle. My middle is slim!

Actually, everything is just getting more firm and toned. It is a good thing! I think I will continue working out at PMR Elite Fitness.

I have become fascinated by the 6 word autobiographies...

I think mine is: Eat, Drink, Pray, Love. Read. Workout.

Or maybe: I read books, sleep, eat, read.

Or maybe: Workout in the morning, read, sleep.

Used to be: Work, eat, read, eat, sleep, repeat.

I do love to read. And somehow, though I tend to be brief, I keep coming up with 7 or 8 words instead of six.

Eat, Drink, Pray, Love, Read, Give thanks.

Only six words is not enough.

(I like this exercise.)

I am reader, writer, hypnotist, philolog.

Feel free to post your 6 word epitaph below!

Procrastination

 I just got The Power of Now by Eckharte Tolle and he says that we need to reduce toughts and emotions and just be the watcher or observer. I am observing right now, that I think too much. Just make a decision and stick with it.

Worrying is just another way to procrastinate.

What's Good About Menopause?

What is good about menopause...?  The obvious answer is no pregnancy worries.

The other good news is that hypnosis can help soothe many of the symptoms of menopause and perimenopause. There have NOT been many studies on this, but the few that have been completed indicate that hypnosis can cool hot flashes, improve sleep, reduce tension and irritability, and minimize negative thoughts.

This is very good news for women like you and me!
