Forgot Your Password?

Anyone else frustrated with forgetting your password? Now there are indicators to help us know if our password is weak or strong. Great, but now that I have it with upper case and lower case and underscores and numbers, I can't remember the darn thing. So then you click the indicator, at your site, to ask for your password, then you are sent a link to create a new one!!!! Wow, there has to be a better stratergy for security. Well I feel better venting now. Anyone have a solution you'd like to share?

Leaving, but not on a jet plane

Gave my notice to retire from the Center in May 2010. Wow, you'd think I told folks I was going to the moon!!! I guess most people see their "jobs" as the main focus in their lives. Since I have been semi-retired for the last 10 years (my job as Youth & Family Ministries' Director is only part time), I have not seen letting it go as actually freeing up a lot of time. I see it more as giving me freedom and flexibility. Ready for more of that. Life is joyful and free. I will be giving the Wednesday night talk at the Center on Mastering the Mystery! Appropriate for Halloween season, don't cha think?

So much Happening

I forgot all about the Wellness Fair I am involved in on Oct. 17th in Sebastopol at the Masonic hall from 11-5. It's a holistic wellness fair with 80 presenters. NVC is one of those presenters. I will have an Empathy Bowl to demonstrate how people can empty their bowls of pain, worry and stress with a couple of questions. What else would people like to see? I listened to Dr. Joe Dispenza today and really enjoyed his views on how we can change our thoughts and change our life. Sound familiar. It was refreshing to hear it in a different form and had a lot of brain evidence and education of how our wire our brains and can change that wiring. Pretty Cool.

What am I doing?

Wow, this is my first post on my newly created blog. I have been looking at so many venues to share my passion. What is that passion, you may be asking? For me it is the ease and freedom I now have in having tools to communicate. To communicate, not only effectively, but with a sense of confidence and enjoyment, even when people are upset and saying things that may be hard for me to hear. How could I enjoy that? I don't take it personally. I know they are telling me about what is going on in their inner world. They are just saying it in words that sound like blaming, criticism and judging. I have a wonderful technilogical tool to translate those words. I put on my giraffe ears and become an empathy detective. What is she talking about, you might be saying. More later about the giraffe ears. What I am detecting is what is important to this person and what are they trying to tell me they long or yearn for. It might just be peace of mind or fairness or cooperation. Something that is common to all human beings. Time for my tennis game.... more later. Carol
