Everyday Bliss

I enjoy bringing you innovations in consciousness & healing, hot off the press, to entertain and enlighten. And do I ever have a great resource for you today…a balm for the troubled spirit. This is for everyone who’s had a rocky time in life and finds that makes it rea-a-a-lly difficult to maintain a state of consciousness, and love your life again, despite it all.

It’s a book, and the fantastic woman who is providing us such a great example of using her life to bring consciousness to millions – Lynne Klippel (at right). Lynne and I have mixed it up in various conferences and coaching experiences for the past ten years and she’s a self-publishing go-to gal. Today is special to Lynne as she has just published her new book “Overcomers, Inc. – True Stories of Hope, Courage and Inspiration”. You can find it here or read on for my review:

http://www.overcomersbook.com/booklaunch

(and nope, in case you’re wondering: I don’t get a penny for this,  I’m sharing just for the joy of it)  

I did an advance review of the book – still true, plus some:

“It is no coincidence that happiness, gratitude and simple, time-honored truths are key themes in this beautiful collection of stories where faith, hope, optimism, and sheer determination, triumph over the worst of odds.

If you’re stuck in a rut, or doing well either one, you’ll enjoy the unfailingly positive message and relish the tools Overcomers, Inc. provides to surface deep gratitude and awareness to empower your life.”

Who is this book aimed at? You’ll get the most out of it if:

• If you liked the “Chicken Soup For The Soul” series, you’ll LOVE “Overcomers, Inc.”. Chock-full of real situations, gutsy determination and not a bit of fluff, anywhere. This collection is to be savored, over a cup of soothing tea or hot chocolate. (mmm…chocolate!)
• If you’re experiencing hard times, these 37 stories will give you great comfort and real tools you can model in your own life.
• If you are into Arjuna Ardagh’s notion of translucency, you will enjoy the stories of people who have overcome overwhelming odds and become themselves, translucent in the process. And you’ll learn too, exactly how to follow their footsteps when things become overwhelming in your own life.

Plus which…
A number of excellent authors, teachers & conscious entrepreneurs have contributed health & wellbeing bonuses & goodies as part of Lynne’s special launch for Overcomers, Inc, and while what I’ve seen today is great stuff the real treasure are the stories, the triumphs and lessons in the book itself.

If you order today, there are bonuses and more, here:

It’s my pleasure to support Lynne and support consicousness in those who are going through rough times by letting everyone I know, know about “Overcomers, Inc.”.

If you’re into a life of ease, grace and joy, you’ll find it in this book .Congratulations to Lynne for a job very well done!

Hey Andrea, kudos on the Multiple Streams Advanced Strategies program!  I don’t know if I consider myself in the running for the Multiple Streams Advanced Strategies Contest, but I have so been learning from you for a long time, from the CoachVille days, through the first Mulitple Streams club & buy-a-book-get-a-conference-free in San Mateo, CA and the PinkSpoon teachings. You really showed us how to ethically increase our revenues with integrity, and greatly informed my marketing capabilities. A few of my points of leverage, from this material:

For those with food-related weightloss issues, there is a new helping tool that bears mention: Lighten UP!.

If you haven’t yet encountered the juicy wisdom of Loretta LaRoche, polish up your funny bone, you’re in for a rare treat.  And if you have problems with food and excess weight, Loretta’s latest work, just published TODAY entitled “Lighten Up” will be of special interest.

Not a day goes by without an article appearing in the media that reveals how certain foods could be harmful or helpful to our health.

Our meals have become either demonic or divine.

We’ve forgotten how to be in a “right relationship” with one of the greatest pleasures we have in life: eating.

As a result, we’re fatter than ever and more stressed out about being fat. And to the rescue comes PBS maven and one of my personal heroines of “laugh while you work on it”, Loretta LaRoche.

Loretta LaRoche is sick to death of diets and diet books . . . so why is she writing a book about losing weight?

“One of the reasons why I feel compelled to write this book is simple: I can’t stand it anymore! The other is the desire to encourage you to develop a more pragmatic and optimistic approach in relation to food, movement, and life’s inevitable ups and downs.

I’ve struggled with this problem, I’ve watched countless friends suffer because of it, and I’ve helped tens of thousands of people deal with the stresses that bear down on their lives, often because of weight and health issues.

There are a variety of solutions in : Lighten UP! that you might not have explored up to this point. They require taking action. These answers aren’t simple, but they’re much easier to incorporate into your life than expending your time and energy on useless diets, gadgets, and faux scientific cures. They take commitment, common sense, and the ability to learn emotional self-regulation.”

Learn to eat well, move with joy, and live a more balanced life. Click here to oder Lighten UP! and watch yourself have more fun than should be legal….or that you thought possible…while growing into the look, feel and deliciousness of the real you.

In this humorous and informative book, Loretta shares her expertise as an international stress consultant, former aerobics instructor, and owner of a wellness center.

Lighten UP! offers a unique perspective and help you set healthy, realistic goals with its numerous tools and techniques. You’ll learn to:

• Develop a sane relationship with food
• Stay committed to your goals
• Be passionate about eating nutritious meals
• Develop tools to reduce stress
• Focus on your successes
• Experience more mindfulness in the way you approach food
• Create health AND well-being

Weight loss is a physical, mental, and spiritual process. Learning how to work on these aspects together will help you maintain a relationship with food that will nurture you, fuel you, and give you joy.

Lighten up, slow down the pace, and make mealtimes a vital part of your day. Click here to learn more about Lighten UP!

Ladies, check out Loretta’s NEW PBS special:

If you haven’t seen Loretta LaRoche in action, you’re in for a rare treat.

Loretta’s seventh public television special, Juicy Living, Juicy Aging, begins airing this month.

Armed with her amazing wit and refreshing candor, Loretta challenges us to embrace our lives by being wiser, healthier, happier, more enthusiastic, and juicier. (Who couldn’t use a little extra juice?)

Check your local listings to find out what times Juicy Living, Juicy Aging will be broadcast in your area. This is one to pop some corn for, break out the antioxidant-rich hot chocolate and view with a passel of your best pals.

How can you support each other to live juicier?

Health, skinny jeans and long life!

I can’t tell you how cool my friend Mary Sise is. I first met her when we were board members together in the Association of Comprehensive Energy Psychology and Mary was president. An inspiring president she was too, full of fire and vision and with a personal style all her own that left no room for anything but the greatest of good cheer, faith and confidence. What a gal! Mary and another great therapist, Sheila Sidney Bender, have written an inspiring work that you really need to own. But why waste words here when a movie will do? Check it out:

You’ve heard me talk about my third book Freedom At Your Fingertips, written with nineteen other EFT expert authors and published by Ron Ball of Inroads Publishing. Ron is a good friend and a wonderful emotional freedom evangelist. When Everyday Bliss came out, Ron bought his wife and daughters copies. Here’s what Ron’s wife Linda had to say, and a big thank you to both!

From: http://www.eftzone.com/2008/07/18/get-blissed/

Maryam Webster is fun to talk with because she’s so knowledgeable and passionate about what she does and who she is. Her long awaited book, Everyday Bliss, was published in May. I immediately bought copies for my wife, Linda, and my two daughters. If you don’t yet have the book, I highly recommend getting it. Here’s what Linda has to say about Everyday Bliss.

You’re gonna wear this book out. Highlight it. Mark it up. It’s full of “how-to” gems. I absolutely love Maryam Webster’s book, Everyday Bliss for Busy Women. Let’s start with its user-friendly format. At 5×7, it’s a handy size that feels good in your hands. The book is nicely laid out and inviting to read.

I like that, Everyday Bliss is written by a woman especially for women. Sorry guys, but society expects women to play and juggle more roles in life than men. Women also have different needs than men.

Everyday Bliss starts out explaining why it’s important to create bliss in our lives and balance our energy. We can choose to take the time to focus our energy instead of reacting and dispersing it in different directions. Maryam talks about the toxic effects of negative energy as well as negative beliefs and how harmful and limiting they can be.

What I like best about the book is that Maryam shares her knowledge, providing specifics for cleansing and relieving tension, plus ways to create everyday bliss using cutting-edge methods like EFT, TAT, ZPoint Process and others.

Ultimately, this book is about getting in touch with your spirituality. Everyday Bliss is a soothing wave of caring and encouragement. I wish I had a beautiful tool like this when I was in my twenties or thirties. Maryam, thank you for sharing your life experiences and methods, reaching out to the women of the world to show us that there is a way of being, doing, and having a life of everyday bliss.

Oh, and you’ll also want to check out Maryam Webster’s Everyday Bliss Website. On the site you can read her blog, join and participate in forums and get a free Blisskit. Be sure to create your profile to attract bliss.

Well jeepers, how very, very cool! And you’re WELCOME Linda – thank both you and Ron for your kindness and generosity.  Read the rest here: http://www.eftzone.com/2008/07/18/get-blissed/

It’s official, I’m bigger than Oprah. (no, really, keep reading!)

Everyday Bliss For Busy Women finished out its birthday at #142 overall in General Books on Amazon.com, up from its starting number of 8,978. Wow. That’s a better than 8,000-fold increase in less than 24 hours. Pretty hot, I’m telling you what.  Everyday Bliss also finished #2 in Women’s Health on Amazon.com (!) and #5 in Personal Transformation, just above Eckhart Tolle’s Oprah’s Book Club choice "A New Earth" at #6 and just below the venerable Dale Carnegie’s "How To Win Friends and Influence People" at #4.

For a few brief shining moments, my book was number two and rose gracefully and with dignity, above the Oprah Book Club pick to sit at the feet of the all-wise and ever-chipper Mr. Carnegie. (and gee whiz, in company with Eckhart Tolle!) Hot holy bananacakes, Batman!

What a nice anniversary present. (yes, it was today as well) The Bear and I have been together for ten years this year. We’re still alive, still in love and still working on it as is fitting and proper. He thought this news above was the best anniversary present. It’s nice to have your partner proud of you.

And all this is illusion, is fancy, is ultimately, not important. Even though it is. Mr. Tolle was right on that front. And a lot of others. I’m just thrilled I was even if briefly, in his presence.     Here’s the shot worth a thousand words, right here:

I have a friend whom I dearly love – Kim George, author of Coaching Into Greatness and Director of the AQ Institute. A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of hanging out in Kim’s home for a week, and being her guest at a concert by acknowledged "young guitar god", Derek Trucks.

Kim wanted to introduce me to Derek’s work because he is, quite honestly, probably the greatest guitarist now living. Or at least one of the mega-greats. You look at what he does with his fingers and listen to the virtuosity, and  your mouth simply falls to the ground. It’s the kind of good that spins your heart, stomach and head all in different directions and leaves you wanting much, much more. Emotions you didn’t know you had bloom suddenly and make you ache, but in a good way. You don’t want the set to end. But I digress…

Some might know Derek as an Eric Clapton protege, or from his work with the Allman Brothers. But on May 17th in Torrington, Connecticut at the palatial Warner Theater, it was solely the Derek Trucks Band, resplendent in its own celebratory glory. 

We got there from deep in the wilderness of Massachussets through the backwoods express route into what seemed like nowhere. Thanks, Google Maps. After miles of beautiful trees, lakes, herds of man-sized mosquitoes, cud-munching Guernseys and a medieval fortress dam or two (one wondered if we hadn’t taken a turn into the Twilight Zone) we arrived in Torrington and had the time of our lives.

Kim has been a fan for ages, and I was a virgin conquest, brought to be sacrificed upon the altar of good music. My heart thumped, thighs quivered and as many before me, I became thoroughly infected with the DTB virus. We all had the DTB’s pretty bad, to be honest. But if you haven’t seen and heard Mr. Trucks and his quirky, amazing fellow musicians, you are missing one heck of a treat. They not only roll out good rock, soul, jazz, r&b and blues, but the personalities of each musician are as engaging as their repertoire. Holy hit parade Batman, but the dude can rock SOLID! If you’re into fancy fretwork, Derek Trucks is your man.

I snuck in my Casio Exilim and managed a few short  and shaky vidcaps between security-guard strafings, the light flashing from an adjacent teenager playing games on his cellphone, and bobbing and weaving of the extra-large-headed fellow right in front of my lens. There was by way of compensation, a nice fellow sitting next to me named John, who interestingly is moving to nearby Walnut Creek within the month. (Dude! Meet you at the Fillmore!)  He and Kim exchanged emails and furtive plans to move items of fandom across state lines…which I am assured is all quite legal…. 

Not my best, but here for Kim and the rest of the excessively *rabid* Derek Trucks fans, (and they’re all rabid) is this five minute-sumpin’ Video.  Be mindful of your speakers, download at will, and Enjoy…

This is THE Blog for you if you’re a Woman who desires to live a life of  Everyday Bliss. Though that necessarily requires a bit of work on yourself, Bliss also BEGINS with accepting you for WHO YOU ARE.  Your thighs are thin enough. Trust me, my thighs are bigger than yours and it doesn’t keep me up nights. Bliss is knowing that things are okay as they are, you’re just fine, you are living a Guided life, and what needs to change will take care of itself.

TODAY my friend the renowned "Comfort Queen", Jennifer Louden, has declared an international holiday:

May 15, 2007:  Freedom From Self Improvement Day

Self-improvement is a one-way ticket to misery, Jen says. She endorses a path to happiness and fulfillment that starts with acceptance of who and where you are.

As a certified Bliss Booster, I couldn’t agree more.

As we give gratitude for what is good and wonderful in our lives, we need to start with ourselves – WHOMever you are, WHEREever you are and WHATever is going on in your life….is all just fine. 

“Beating ourselves up because our thighs aren’t thin enough, or because we still haven’t perfected the art of ‘positive thinking’ hasn’t made us happier or the world a better place,” says Jen, whose books include The Woman’s Comfort Book and her recently released The Life Organizer: A Woman’s Guide to a Mindful Year.

“Inner peace through endless self-improvement only serves to make us endlessly dissatisfied and disappointed. The biggest paradox in trying to change ourselves is that nothing happens until we embrace who and how we are right now, imperfections, perceived flaws and all.” she says.

I’ll add that it is only then that you can go forward out of what isn’t what you want and engage the Law of Attraction to get what you want. That Gratitude for What Is, is absolutely essential. And it needs to be legitimate gratitude, not merely mouthed insincerely.

My recommendation, if you’re not to the happy place with where you are yet, is to start with the EFT Personal Peace Procedure. Being at peace with yourself is key to Everyday Bliss.

The day will include a number of resources to encourage self-acceptance, ban self-improvement, and have fun while doing it, including a “Declaration of Independence from Self-Improvement,” audio downloads contributed by a host of best-selling authors and spiritual teachers, and suggested activities for celebrating our beautiful, imperfect selves.

To get a comprehensive run-down on what Jen is offering, check her blog out at:

http://freedomfromselfimprovement.com

And drop the shoulda-coulda-woulda’s, don’ts and must-do’s that litter your life and poison personal peace.

Be Kind to You.

Be gentle and compassionate with your dear, precious self. 

To quote Jen: "True change is a result of self-love, not self-hatred.”  You said it, girlfriend.

This call was amazingly helpful! Thanks for opening the dialogue and for having Maryam on to give us a real how-to. I’ve been focusing on making my mental shifts since Halloween. This call really revved up my evolution! Thanks to you both!
