How do you handle an issue with your neighbor?

Posted by: Bill | Comments (0)

Do you have an issue with one of your neighbors that is causing you to
not speak with them or avoid them? If so may I suggest you experience the difference between confronting vs “carefronting”.

Confronting is attacking the person and possibly leaving dead bodies. Carefronting is caring enough to talk about the delicate subjects.

Release assuming or making judgments. Go to the source instead of believing rumors. Stop the gossip and talk with the person who can do
something about it instead of everyone else who can not change the situation.

Treat people with dignity and respect. Make the person and the relationship more important then the property or issue.

What neighbor stories do you have?

The power of intention

Jeff Bridges and Jonna Bluemlein in Crazy Heart Movie

Several weeks ago Linda and I went out to dinner with fellow graduates Jonna and Tom Bluemlein. Jonna always loves to hear and share success stories of how those who have attended our seminars lives have been improved when they use the tools and ideas we shared with them.

Jonna mentioned that the power of intention can make your dreams com true. Jonna has

always had a crush on Jeff Bridges.

Tom Bluemleinis a fine artist. When Tom and Jonna were down in Santa Fe, New Mexico on a painting trip, they saw they needed extra’s for the award winning movie Crazy Heart.

Tom is also the one who created our Tree of Self Esteem poster after he attended our seminar visually depicting the damaging effects of having a mask of self image versus a true self esteem. We will always be grateful to Tom for his creating this visual anchor.

Jonna as she was telling us her story mentioned that while the crew was on a break she had the courage to go up to Jeff and let him know she had a crush on him and had always wanted to meet him.

Jonna said, she introduced Jeff to Tom and told him I used to joke with our kids that when Jeff came for me I was going with him! She told him Tom and I had been together for 41 years and he said he had been with his wife for 38. Also this was probably the boldest thing I have everdone, not really my style to up to anyone let alone a ‘movie star’.

Jonna went further applying another skill she learned which was to ask for what she wanted. She asked Jeff if she could get her picture taken together and as you can see she now has an anchor to remember forever.

Another skill Jonna mentioned is when opportunities arise seize them and she sure did.

So what is a success story you have of the power of intention? How does Jonna’s story inspire you. Share with us a time when you had the courage to reach out for one of your dreams.

Can a kitten can change your life?

Posted by: Bill | Comments (0)

Kristine with kitty around age 5

Are they both cute or what? Would you ever consider being cruel or harsh to these two pretties? Kristine, a recent graduate of our seminar, Move Into Your Greatness shared this picture with me because I had asked her who treated you with TUL, Total Unconditional Love? She said my kitty in this picture.

Unfortunately more people have received safe, unconditional love from a pet than they have people. Is this true of you?

What are some of your favorite TUL moments you have had with a pet? What about a TUL time with a person? Would love to hear your stories.

Getting and giving the kind of love you need and want is really very simple. When it is genuine and real it fills the soul with all the ingredients to brighten a person’s day.

So give TUL to someone today and watch what happens!
