We’re back from a wonder-filled weekend in Sedona at the Raw Spirit Festival. I’ve started a campaign to speak at the next one in Santa Barbara in June. Many have already emailed the general manager, Theresa Lucek, and said they’d like to see me onstage which was very kind of them to take the time to do so.

Here’s something that I read in a book by an author I’m going to be interviewing next week.

“Anxiety is an attempt to fight future danger or control the uncontrollable, (borrowing pain from the future.) Depression (hanging on to pain from the past) is an attempt to flee danger by retreating into our own private cave through isolation, or numbing our emotions through drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, gambling, sex, shopping, you name it.” Dr. Nancy Irwin

I’ll name overeating.

I’m really enjoying this book. I’ve been highlighting numerous sentences starting with the introduction. Anything I didn’t know already? Not really yet, like any “self-help” style book, very often there’s an “aHA!” moment because of the way something is said or the because of the time it’s said.

This book contains 40 stories of life-changing events from people over 40. I actually only heard of/actually know a few people in this book along with “Jane Doe”, “John Doe” and “Anonymous” (yes, they are in the book and for good reason as you’ll find out reading these very honest, revealing, stories). If you enjoy hearing personal stories of change and triumph as I do, this is the book for you.

Obviously, this will be another interesting interview on Celebrating Your Potential. Remember to check it out next week.

Until next week ~

Enjoy life!

This week I interviewed this delightful author, speaker and motivator, Kimberlie Dykeman on Celebrating Your Potential. Usually I receive the latest book, dvd, etc. before I do an interview. This time, the book came after which is why I’m reviewing it here. 

It’s an easy read meaning there’s not a lot of pages at only 131. It’s a more difficult read in that I sit and ponder a lot of what she says and how it pertains to me. For example on chapter 14, pg.22: “Make today the day that you plunge (I like the word “plunge”) into uncharted territory. Purposefully cross paths with some of the sharpest strangers you will ever meet in your life. Throw a proverbial curve ball at your comfort zones and associate yourself with people from whom you can continuously learn about life on a daily basis. Scroll your picture show as ever changing and ever expanding.”

This is a book I recommend. Carry it with you and when you have a few minutes, read a chapter. Some are only a paragraph; some, two pages. As people tell me when I send out my Weekly Revvellations, each one carries a little nugget or jolt to catch you unawares and possibly that word or that sentence will have a profound impact on your life.

Kimberlie has a gift with words. Enjoy them.
