<description><![CDATA[You are well aware of the words you speak out loud to yourself, but perhaps even without uttering a word, you tell yourself a lot. Every word you speak and thought you have is absorbed in your subconscious mind and affects the emotional biochemicals released into your body. Positive words have a positive physical impact, but words can indeed hurt us physically!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Ancient wisdom tells us that words are powerful, holding the power of life and death. In modern American culture we use the most horrid words in jest. It's common to hear someone say, "That dessert was to die for!" Seriously? There is no food of any kind that is worth dying for. If you asked this person what they meant by what they said, they would tell you that what they said was "just a figure of speech." But just because we don't take our words seriously, does it make them any less powerful? "Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world." -Buddha]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Doubt has a direct line to worry. The thought process of doubt is about lack of confidence and unresolved fear from the past. Often doubt is expressed as criticism of someone else's success, as a way to cover up for one's own lack of self confidence. Let's talk about doubt and worry. Worry is the pain and agony of imagining your worst-case scenarios. Some of these situations are realistic and some are imaginary, created by fearful thought patterns. Worry is the habit of looking for the negative in every circumstance. It is the act of thinking and talking about failure instead of concentrating on being successful.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It has been a long hard winter and I am so happy to welcome spring. Ice storms, wind storms, power failures, shattered trees and broken limbs are now behind us and the process of clearing away all the debris of winter's havoc has begun to feel like a spring cleaning for home, heart and soul.  Let us look forward to the spring, not backward on the winter which has past. Passover is the festival of freedom and I long to feel free from the oppression of storms and hard times and to breathe again the air of hope and promise as our ancestors did on the shore of a distant sea...

<description><![CDATA[We deserve pleasure and happiness! They are the whole point of being human. Yet creating and receiving pleasure is elusive for so many of us, why?
