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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I think the scale might have something against me.  Change this week was minimal but at least it was in the right direction.  I’m down just .2 pounds from where I was last week.  That’s 193.8 for those keeping score at home.  At Weight Watchers they tell you that even though the scale didn’t move [...]

I had another phone call with John Pierre and he helped me considerably.  We adjusted the diet plan a little bit to include less fat and more protein sources that are high in fiber, which gave me much better satiety than I was getting before.  I did much better this week in terms of what [...]

Are you at the end of your rope?  Are you about ready to let go and call it a life?  Are you depressed?  Is your light just going … out? 
When I prepare to do an intuitive reading for someone, I do a little tuning in before I call them on the phone.  Part of the [...]

Well I’ve learned a lot this week.  It’s definitely a process.  This morning I weighed 194 so not only didn’t I lose weight this week, it’s starting to creep up again.  Not in a huge way, but enough to get my attention and do some in-depth analysis as to what’s going awry for me.
I already [...]
