Your Hot Button

You know what your hot button is; it is that topic which when raised raises your blood pressure and lowers your capacity to think clearly, in inverse proportion. Where do these hot buttons originate?  Now that is difficult to say, but they have to do with some issue or event in your past which has left a […]

What was the question?

We often  get so wrapped up in finding a solution for a specific issue we forget what the original question was.  We find ourselves solving problems which were not part of the original question, and solving those problems quite wonderfully to be sure, then we look back and realize the original issue remains unresolved. I have

Just for the fun of it.

“If it ain’t fun, I ain’t doing it.” Many of my friends have heard me say this, it usually gets at least a little chuckle; sometimes the response is “now that’s the right attitude!”  But, is it the truth?  I love to share my ideas about living an IN-powered life with you, and sometimes I

You are right again!

“I just knew that would happen!” “I knew it wasn’t going to work.”  Have you ever heard yourself saying things like this?  You got to be right again, isn’t that great?  The thing is, most of the time we say these things, we are saying them about things not working out successfully.  We say these things when

I do know we have entered a “like” race wherein pages with the most “likes” are deemed

Love those little boxes!

Those little boxes, you know the ones I mean, the boxes which define who we are, what we believe, who we should like, or dislike. The little boxes which define how much we should earn, where we should live (in a little box of course!).  Those little boxes are so comforting.  they keep us warm

Chaos Reigns!

When we hear or see the word Chaos we have been taught to think of things out of control, of things not working, of danger! In fact my Websters dictionary does indeed include a rather pejorative suggestion that chaos is a confused mass or mixture.  This, however follows three other definitions, which all reflect a wholly

After the But…

We can sing and dance around a topic, trying to avoid expressing a judgement, still, whatever we say after the word “but” is our real message. Have you ever noticed how peoples voices even change right before they get to what they want to say, bust before the “but” appears?  The words drag out a

Be your own Guru

I have many friends who are walking the path of self IN-powerment, which is what we call this work at Choiceful Living Seminars.  Folks who frequently ask themselves “How can it get any better than this?” What amazes me is that so often, once this path is started, the first thing some of these delightful
