Thursday, July 03, 2008 Manifest The Positive - July 3 @ 8 pm - Aaron Huey LISTEN TO MANIFESTING THE POSITIVE TONIGHT 8 PM PST ==================================================
Join Leyla Hur and I when we interview Aaron Huey this Thursday night at 8PM PST.
If you have kids, work with kids, ARE a kid, or know kids, then this is ONE SHOW you DO NOT want to miss!!!
Aaron is considered one of the world‘s leading experts in the empowerment of children and families. He has been working with children and parents for over 15 years. Since then he has been an elementary, middle school, high school and college teacher, a kids life coach, mentor, professional story teller, director, trainer, camp counselor, parenting coach, and a father as well as a step-dad. He teaches seminars to children and adults all over the United States and Canada and speaks at parenting centers about authentic play, the dance of masculine and feminine energy in relationships, and using archetypes for understanding and empowerment.
Aaron believes that people have more power than they acknowledge. His mission is to awaken confidence and leadership. "It‘s not about being better, it‘s about giving up the struggle to be different from who you are."
Aaron understands the struggles kids and families go through because he has been there. "I was diagnosed with ADHD/ADD when I was 12, and was also told that I had learning disabilities. I was bullied unmercifully, struggled to try and get any kind of grades at all, and I basically had zero self-esteem. I started to get into trouble at school, because I just couldn‘t fit into the mold that they were trying to put me in. I developed substance abuse problems, and really hit rock bottom."
How did he turn it around? "I finally found out the style of learning that WORKED FOR ME! And then, I discovered how to work with others in a way that tapped into the style of learning that WORKS FOR THEM!"
This is going to be one very inspiring hour. Learn the tools and keys that Aaron uses to help troubled kids, teens, families, and adults reach their highest potential.

Monday, May 26, 2008 In memorium Whether or not you agree with the war, the candidates or each other... always remember the sacrifices that others made so that you may live free.
Think back and thank those that you knew... and those the world has long forgotten... the ones that brought you to this day... that helped shape you to be who you are now... and who inspire you to become better tomorrow.
While we honor those that sacrificed their lives, let us not forget those that sacrificed the time in their lives as well. People paid it forward a long time ago... even though they cannot see the fruits of their sacrifice... be grateful that you can.
Honor all those before you, by living the dream they had... by being the person that brings about the end of wars, and poverty, and sickness, and suffering...
So that no one today needs to sacrifice for tomorrow.

40 Tips for Better Life - 2008
1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.
2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Buy a lock if you have to.
3. Buy a DVR and tape your late night shows and get more sleep.
4. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, 'My purpose is to __________ today.'
5. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.
6. Play more games and read more books than you did in 2007.

Sunday, April 06, 2008 Made From Concentrate The more value you put INTO your time, the more value your get OUT of your time.
.................................
My days have been filled with multiple tasks, spinning around until it made me dizzy. I used to pride myself on my ability to multi-task, much more than on my ability to actually get anything done. But I noticed something was wrong when I didn't even have time to fully listen to a video that was talking about the ills of multi-tasking.
I **KNEW** the importance of concentration, especially when I sat down to write my newsletter on, you guessed it, the power of concentration. Soooooo...
I followed my advice to the tee... got rid of any distractions, dedicated time and stuck with it no matter how tempting it was to do everything else.
And guess what?
It got done.
'Multi-tasking' doesn't mean working on multiple things at the same time. (OK, maybe it does in the dictionary, but you know what I'm saying)... it means, doing multiple things ONE-THING-AT-A-TIME.
I call it 'MONO-TASKING' and right now, I'm basking in the glory of accomplishing a mono-task.
And, come to think of it, now that I'm finished blogging about it... that now makes two.
