Holidays - Ho, Ho, Ho, Or Ho Hum!
The holiday season is often most difficult to navigate — mentally, physically, and emotionally. The glitter and shine of red and green often turns to blue. For many it is a season of darkness, not light, facing the challenges of sadness, stress, loneliness, and unfulfilled longings — a time to “get through.”Successfully meeting these challenges can be likened to the way white-water rafters approach their task. Beginners watch for the craggy rocks, the problems to avoid, the risks to circumvent, usually ending their runs feeling emotionally and physically drained. Experts focus on the “flow line” where the currents safely guide them through the roughest areas with a minimum of mental and emotional stress, ending their runs on a high, with energy to spare.So, calling upon twenty-five years of coaching and counseling friends, colleag

Do you really understand what I’m saying to you? “Of course!” (At this point I really didn’t believe that I had made actual contact and that the answers I was hearing in my head were real, but I figured I’d get through Amelia’s list of questions to see where it would take me. At least I could say I did the exercise.)

Do you like catnip? “I can take it or leave it.” He said.

Making Your House A Home
How do you make a house a home? How do you mark it with your personality, and make your visitors say that it suits you? These questions may seem simple enough, but if we cannot find solutions for them, then we can never be contented with our own space.Furniture has long been a part of our homes. Whenever we get a new place, we always keep in mind that we need furniture to make our place more homey and welcoming not only to ourselves, but to our guests as well. The ease and functionality furniture bring to our homes is not surrpassed, for they are not here just for comfort. These movable objects also serve as decorations in our homes, something that we can show off to to our guests, and something to be proud of if they admire it. Furniture serve as storage areas for our things such as our clothes, our dining wares, and others, and a

I really liked the book, Straight From the Horse’s Mouth by Amelia Kincaid, and loved all the lists of questions to ask your pets and the exercises in the book set up to enhance your intuition, so I decided to do one of the exercises and talk to my own cat, Dagney. When I asked the first question, though, she said to me, “I don’t have to do your bidding.”

Your bidding? What kind of verbiage is that!? Well, Miss Queen of Sheba—I’ll just find some other cat to talk to then. So, I did the next best thing and used a cat in my practice that seemed to always have things to say to me. I relaxed on our bed, took a few cleansing breaths and had my list of questions ready. I put forth the energy toward open communication and I asked Sherman if he’d like to be interviewed. Of course he said yes. I knew he would.

Here’s how the interview went: (My questions in italics, his answers in quotes.)

Sherman, which food is your favorite food? “I like canned cat food, especially tuna ––and at room temperature.

What is your favorite toy? “I like the red angled rubber ball that’s hollow in the center.” (I later shared this interview with Sherman’s owner. She said he has loved hollow caged balls in the past, but she hadn’t seen that toy for quite some time.)

What do you think about all the birds around your house? “Must get them,” He said. “but the neighbor chases me away. I don’t like him.”

Why are you not using your litter box? “It could use more cleaning. I don’t like standing in chunks. It’s in a good place though. I’m marking over a cleaning agent and my back hurts so it’s hard to get into and out of the box.” Thanks, Sherman. That will be helpful for your mom when she brings you in next time. (I was doing the communication with him being at his home and me at mine.)

Now, what do you like to use to sharpen your claws on? “I like to sharpen my claws on upright things. I especially like the feel of Berber carpet.”

Do you like catnip? “I can take it or leave it.” He said.

Do you like climbing trees? “I don’t like to because it’s t

Flights Of Fancy: An Air Of Gratitude
Feeling cranky about air travel? Get a grip.Not on the arm of your passenger seat--on reality, history, and the incredible accomplishment of human flight.We've just celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Wright brothers' historic flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Although there werecertainly others who were experimenting with flying machines--most notably, Alberto Santos-Dumont, a Brazilian who is widely celebrated in his native country as being the father of aviation--the Wright Brothers are generally regarded as the first to get humans off the ground.The fascinating thing about the Wright brothers is that they were not the idealistic dreamers you might expect them to be. They were serious, studious, and determined to figure things out. It wasn't that they were obsessed with the dream of soaring high above the ground.

Do you like catnip? “I can take it or leave it.” He said.

Do you like climbing trees? “I don’t like to because it’s too hard to get down.” (He is a bit portly—about 4 pounds overweight. Maybe I’m influencing the answers?)

What do you love? “Humans. I LOVE humans. . . and sunshine. I like being out at night in the moon. It feels like skinny dipping naked in human feelings.”

Would you like a companion? “I like little dogs, but I don’t want a Daschund. I’d like something around 10-15 pounds. Something with longer hair.”

Do you like cars? “I’m afraid of cars. Cars are non-thinking animals.”

How does it make you feel when your mom is upset, anxious or angry? (A common occurrence with this owner.) “Oh, I don’t like that—at all. I try to clam her down, but there is no helping her. She has to wear out of it to forget being anxious. Her talking comforts me. No one sounds like her. I love her.”

What about when she’s late coming home from work? “She always tries to make excuses for being late. I don’t buy them.”

What is the meaning of life Sherman? “Interaction and relationship.”

Where do you go when you leave your body? “High up in the trees so I can look down.” (Cat’s leave their bodies I’m thinking? What kind of a question is this?)

What do you dream about? Driving a red truck, catching goldfish in a fish bowl. . .the usual stuff.”

What do roses smell like? How about Pine trees? Your yard? “Heavenly. You know, people should take more time out to get in touch with their environment. You don’t really know what you’re missing until you really tune in.”

Where do you like to be petted most? “I like my chest scratched. It tickles. That’s why I try to use my back feet. I like all the other places, too, like the chin, my ears, and tail base. M

Life insurance is a popular policy investment sold by various insurance companies. In order to safeguard personal interests and those of the family, a large number of people opt to purchase a life insurance. In due course of time, if a policyholder is diagnosed with a terminal illness, the insurance company is legally bound to recompense the person. In case of an incurable ailment, policyholders need to spend on expensive medical treatment, to ensure comfort for the remaining years of their life. These medical expenses can be huge and policyholders may choose to cash in, on their life insurance. This is termed as a ?viatical? settlement and a number of investors are willing to pay for them.
