I was at a Christmas party this past week, and one of my friends broke down and started crying. She is having a tough time this holiday season. She’s reached out to her children, and they have not returned her calls. She asks herself, “Why don’t they call me?” “Why are they behaving this way?” “Why ...
Even though I may look like a “New Yorker,” Cleveland, Ohio, is where I spent the first 25 years of my life. For those of you from Cleveland, I grew up in Berea, Ohio.
Berea…Berea…you just met a girl from Berea! (to be sung like “Maria” from West Side Story).
Berea is also the headquarters and t...
Today’s blog is for myself. I’m in the midst of some major life changes. While I’m confident everything will be okay in the end, these next few months are going to be critical for me and my partner. We’re both being pushed beyond our limits in many ways, and it’s important we stay focused on our end...
No! There. I said it. “NO.”
I hate saying “No.” I hate the feeling of disappointing someone I care about. I hate the feeling that I might be letting others down because I can’t jump right in and help out. I hate being put on the spot and the feeling of being pressured to do something I just don’t ...
Working as a hypnotist pretty much means I'll never have a dull day of work ever again. My clients spill their guts to me about injustices in their past, and oftentimes those guts include someone who has wronged my client. Whatever that person did, it affected their life significantly, and they're h...
Last year, I began taking a series of courses with Robert G. Smith, who teaches Eutaptics, which is a brilliant combination of Hypnosis, NLP, and Tapping. I love his combination of these techniques because it gets results very quickly, but more importantly, I get to use my sense of humor in order to...
Boredom.
Medical experts call it the ‘disease of our time.’ They say, "Everyone suffers from it." That feeling you temporarily went through until your school lecture was over, when you finally got through the line at Disney to ride the ride, or that feeling you had on a slow day at work? Medical e...
In the 1970s, Ron Popeil made a fortune with products like the Veg-O-Matic, Mister Microphone, and the Ronco Pocket Fisherman. You knew a Ronco commercial when you heard the iconic “But wait…there’s more!!!” One of the products Ron Popeil sold was the Showtime Rotisserie and BBQ, which featured the ...
Trancing With The Stars takes the time-tested principles of heightened awareness and the relaxation of hypnosis and mixes them with the wireless technology of a silent disco...on top of an ancient Indian Mound! Sound intriguing?
Hypnosis is a natural, yet altered, state of mind where communic

“I’m starting my fifth and final chapter, and I need to make it a good one.”
I’m writing this in Millington, TN. Doug’s stepfather passed away, and we left Wednesday night to attend his funeral and support his mother. We’ve had a great time spending time with Doug’s family and hi

Someone close to me lost a loved one yesterday. This poem was read at my mother's funeral, and everyone there was very moved by it. With many people grieving the loss of loved ones early in the new year, this seemed like the perfect reminder to spend your "dash" wisely.

In 2019, I walked into Hip Expressions Dance Studio on the first Sunday of the year and did my first “vision board.” Orange is my power color, so I chose a neon orange paper as my backdrop. I spent the 2 hours scouring through 50 magazines looking for words, phrases, and pictures that spoke to
