What’s Going to Happen?

Monday, June 1st, 2009

A lot of people appear to be under the impression that a psychic is able to tell you what’s going to happen in your future.  I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it, your life is not predestined, you have free will.  Every choice you make today determines your future tomorrow.  The future is [...]

The Relationship Between Happiness and Beliefs

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

Do your beliefs make you happy?  Do you currently have beliefs that are leading to a happy life?  Do you wake up every morning happy and grateful for the life you have?
Right now you carry a set of beliefs inside you.  Are those beliefs serving your highest good?  Are those beliefs making you happy?  If [...]

Growing Up Without Religion

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

Even though I am technically Jewish, born to two Jewish parents, I am not religious at all, nor was I raised religiously.  We celebrated Jewish holidays more for the festive, fun, family atmosphere than out of any adherence to a certain faith.  The only time we went to Temple was for other people’s weddings or [...]

How to Stop Being Jealous

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

When I was a kid I used to get really jealous whenever one of my friends had something really exciting happen to them.  I remember when my best friend – I’ll call her Melissa - got to take horseback riding lessons.  I seethed with jealousy.  Really.  Seethed.  I thought it was so unfair that she got to [...]

The Power of Talent

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

In 4th grade I learned a really valuable lesson about appreciating my talent and my uniqueness.
I was taking piano lessons, but I was a poor student.  I preferred to play by ear but my teacher, of course, wanted me to learn to read music.  So while I was playing complicated songs by ear, she would [...]

The Value of Attending Conferences

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

Do you make it a point to attend conferences in fields you’re interested in?  Are you aware of the incredible wellspring of experiential information you will get from attending a conference?  Do you want to meet other people with similar goals and interests?  Go to conferences I tell you!  Make a point to go to [...]

How To Choose a Career That Will Make You Happy

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

Sometimes when I’m doing a reading and we get to career the conversation will go something like this:
Erin:  The guides are telling me that you’re in a tech field, like software engineering, but you aren’t at all happy anymore.  The work is totally draining you.  Is that right?
Sitter:  Yes, I’ve been a programmer for 12 [...]

Health Goal Update for March 30, 2009

Monday, March 30th, 2009

This will be a short update as I don’t have much to report that’s new.
Weight came down a little this week.  It was 196.0 for most of the week.  Went to a buffet breakfast yesterday and did a little better than I usually do, but it’s clear to me that buffets are a bad choice [...]

Health Goal Update for March 23, 2009

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

I didn’t post an update last week because we were out of town at Steve’s brother’s wedding.  Last Monday we took the kids to Universal Studios where the only vegan-friendly items were French fries and a dry salad.  We scoured the park for fruit of some kind, anywhere, and found none.  Forget vegetables too.  Those [...]

Health Goal Update for March 9, 2009

Monday, March 9th, 2009

This past week Steve purchased the P90X program which is basically a 90 day program designed to really challenge you in the area of physical fitness.  So while he was busting his butt doing the intense (I mean really intense) workouts, I kept going to the gym to do my cardio and weight lifting.  By [...]
