Where did the time go?

I can't believe this much time has past since my last blog!!! I have been a recovering first time author. Recovering from the imaginations of a traditional publishing house picking up my book so I could retire from the royalties. It didn't happen that way for me (which doesn't mean it won't happen for you!). So I have had to dig in and begin to self promote the book. Sometimes I ask myself if I had really understood how much time, effort, and money this would take, would I have done it? Every time the answer is yes, although some yeses are weaker/stronger than others.

There is something about publishing a book that soothes your essence. The feeling of holding your book is probably akin to holding your first baby. The thought that your book will exist for aeons after you pass away is indescribable. Your experiences along the way will be priceless. Last week at a book club, I shared my experience when Dr. Maya Angelou personally called to tell me she found my book to be "fetching" — I still get the goose bumps.

I recently spoke at a women's club and spent some time explaining the concept of image streaming that I first learned about in The Einstein Factor by Win Wenger, Ph.D. and Richard Poe (www.winwenger.com/imstream.htm). Millions of images are being streamed into our conscious and subconscious via the television, internet, movies, and other visuals—all someone else's images. With the techniques explained by Dr. Wenger, the images are your own and in the process you can enhance your memory and creativity and improve your brain health.

Afterwards, a very excited woman came up to me and said that recently her three year old grandson asked her to close her eyes and describe what she saw. Then he asked her to keep her eyes closed and describe a beautiful forest. Three years old!

The concept of image streaming is so important to changing your perspective, I invite you to spend a moment at Dr. Wenger's website.
