Is there something else going on when you smile and truly operate from a feeling of happiness and joy? The evidence seems to point that way. Last week I was struck by a comment made in a health food store. A discussion ensued about a particular health care practitioner, widely recognized as the best in [...]

The Feelin’ Good Place
February 26th, 2010Recovering from “Bad Urges”
January 28th, 2010Lou Holtz in his video Do Right said one thing is universal: you are going to have problems. Try as you might, you cannot escape problems long term. They are a natural part of our human experience. www.tut.com says it this way… “If you knew how much you have in common with every single person [...]
Become a Quitter…
January 15th, 2010A friend recently made some very direct comments that made me stop and take notice. He commented that all the “new age thinkers” have to go “find themselves.” “They have to f-i-i -i-i-nd themselves,” he emphacized. “I’ll tell you how you find yourself. Stop all the crap, all the scurrying around, all the emails, the [...]
“No One is in Charge of Your Happiness Except You”
January 11th, 2010“No one is in charge of your happiness except you” was one of the 39 points from last week’s posting of “Handbook 2010.” See http://rosiebrownrn.com/handbook-2010/ This weekend I read a series of articles on happiness, and most all of the articles echoed the same sentiment. This weekend I also received the following bit of advice [...]
“Wasting Time” or Getting More Done?
October 26th, 2009Last night a wise friend shared some observations with me. I was venting about how overwhelmed I felt at having an almost impossible number of things undone on my to-do list. His suggestion was to go for a drive and watch the sunset. What? How does “wasting time” like that compute? His advice was simply [...]
“Enjoy Each Step Along the Way”
October 17th, 2009“When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It’s to enjoy each step along the way.” — Wayne Dyer What a beautiful reminder that we sometimes need to paste to our foreheads…especially me. What a week it has been. My book, Stop the Needless Suffering, arrived on [...]
"Follow Your Heart…Be Happy"
October 6th, 2009I knew it wasn’t right to go to bed commiserating over a problem I am dealing with, nor was it right to refocus on it upon awakening. It is so easy to know that that technique is not effective, but getting oneself to stop the chattering in the mind, when faced with a tough situation, [...]
A Lesson in Adrenal Health from Peyton Manning…
October 5th, 2009It was exciting to watch Peyton Manning at the Colts’ game yesterday, but Peyton gave the lingering crowd an added bonus as he walked off the field at the game’s end. Peyton was the last player to leave the field. A crowd had gathered on the bleachers near the exit off the field. As Peyton [...]
Mid-life, Flab or Fun?
September 17th, 2009Have you seen this “Forward” that is making its way around the net? “I’ve seen two shows lately that went on and on about how mid-life is a great time for women. Just last week Oprah had a whole show on how great menopause will be….Puhleeeeeeeze! I’ve had a few thoughts of my own and would [...]
Make This Weekend a Labor of Love….For You and All Those Dear to You
September 4th, 2009The term “Labor Day” is an interesting title. It doesn’t sound so good in and of itself, does it? I decided to do a little research to find how this holiday originated. The following is an excerpt from http://homeschooling.about.com/cs/unitssubjhol/a/laborday.htm: “One of the main issues of concern pertained to labor conditions. Workers were tired of long [...]
