How do you and your family get along?
I just got off of the phone with a man who had shared with me his father will will not talk with him and most of his family thinks he is crazy. Now many of them are alcoholics and have not dealt with their issues. He decided not to go down the trail of disaster and as a result is the black sheep of their family.
Can you you relate? Is any of this like your family situation. He also mentioned he paid a psychologist alot of money dealing with the issues he said. One of the gems of wisdom he got out of that is, “the only person you can control is yourself”. Is this so true or what?
If you are finding your family situation is creating pain for you there is a solution. Attend one of our upcoming programs in June and find the peace you need for yourself. Since June is Father’s day what a great time to create a new beginning.
Share with us what peaves you about your family.
Our next blog will be about can you face your issues?

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?

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.
