From the Editor:
Cheers All and hope you're looking back on a great week and forward to a fantastic weekend. I do have to apologize for the short news this week but it seems that my computer is dying slowly but surely. No Microsoft Office programs will even deign to start up for me and of course I waited until the last moment to get my work done. My bad. This also means that if you've sent me an email recently, I'm not up-to-date there either. Again I apologize and figure once I can cure my poor old grumpy laptop to start working again (the blue screen of death is about to give me an anuerism) I will get to everything first thing.
But speaking of not working I do have to ask some professional advice...I mean, what's the point of being an editor of a community newsletter for a bunch of healers if you don't take advantage once in a while of their good graces and extensive knowledge? I got my eyes checked recently - just a routine checkup since having Lasik 4-5 years ago - and found that if I filled the prescription the doc gave me it would be purely for vanity's sake since the prescription was for a minimal dosage so to speak. But that doesn't tell me why I can't seem to aim anymore. I noticed this today on the golf course - I couldn't get my teed up ball behind the markers. I just couldn't judge that distance and you can't imagine what it does to my putting. Thank goodness I'm still a beginner (a hacker instead of a golfer) and am allowed to be slow and bad. :) But I know I can do better and was slightly disturbed this morning. Though it might also explain why I need new tires being a horrible judge of distance when it comes to curbs. So if you have any advice for this poor chicklet who's losing her depth perception please send it on.
Have a great one!!

Greetings Dear Ones,
We are almost at capacity!
If you have not yet signed up for this year's GET YOUR YEAR IN GEAR you may miss out!
People ask me every year: "How do you do it?"
How do you have a full coaching practice, a full hypnotherapy practice, teach at Pacific School of Oriental Medicine, work at Friends In Deed, write books, write articles, exercise, take time off (12 weeks a year), do workshops, give talks, have a social life, have an intimate relationship, etc...etc...??
Well, it does not happen by accident and I certainly don't do it all by myself.

I really did not have enough money, enough time, and had no clue how to utilize and leverage the four resources.
One of my coaches turned me on to a number of different strategies for managing my life and my work and from that came the "Get Your Year In Gear Program".

With preparation, planning and robust systems in place, you can have the work/life balance you have always wanted.
So don't just sit there. Take the action that will provide payoffs both in the present and in the future!

Very best,
Dr. E

Quotes to
Inspire
"Plan for what is difficult while it is easy,
do what is
great while it is small.
The difficult things in this world must be done
while they are easy,
the greatest things in the world must be done while
they are still small.
For this reason sages never do what is great, and this
is why they achieve greatness."
~ Sun Tzu
"Would you tell me
which way I ought to go from here?" asked Alice.
"That depends a good deal on
where you want to get," said the Cat.
"I really don't care where" replied
Alice.
"Then it doesn't much matter which way you go," said the
Cat.
~ Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
"If you don't have a plan for yourself,
you'll be part of someone else's."

because you might not get there."

News of Interest! Patients Stick With Acupuncturist - When Babs Nappier first
entered the Fang Acupuncture Clinic in 1997 and met clinic owner Chaohua Fang,
she had no idea what to expect. Nappier had painful back and knee issues, carpal
tunnel syndrome, and issues with her weight. The pain was so severe that she was
barely able to stand up on her own, but she did not want to be dependent on
prescription painkillers. Nappier had heard of acupuncture, a Chinese medicine
technique of inserting needles into specific points in the body to help relieve
pain and other symptoms and decided it was worth a try. "I dislike pain pills,"
Nappier said. "... I decided I had heard so much about acupuncture that I'm
going to bite the bullet and try it." She found that the needles were not
painful, and the treatments made her feel better. More than that, Nappier said
she was impressed by Fang's caring bedside manner. She was pleased enough that
she kept coming back for the next 11 years.
Acupuncture can help patients with pain control - T.J. Gan,
M.D., an anesthesiologist at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C.,
talks about acupuncture to treat postoperative pain. Imelda Staunton on acting naturally - She craves balance in
her life and finds it through acupuncture, yoga and gardening, while a "slight
belief" in karma has replaced the Roman Catholicism of
... Daoist Traditions school congratulates 2008 graduates - Daoist
Traditions College of Chinese Medical Arts congratulates its second graduating
class. Each student has earned a master-level diploma in the field of "oriental
medicine," including instruction on topics such as chinese medicine theory,
herbal medicine, acupuncture and Western medicine. Of the school's eight 2008
graduates, seven have already passed the national
examinations.
Pinpoint Healing: Community Acupuncture in Portland - I was
sitting at a round, white linen-clothed table with about seven other wedding
guests when I finally twisted the conversation to accommodate my research needs
(nothing wrong with building resources). Now this was a fairly lively bunch of
20- and 30-somethings who were all adventurous, maybe even experimental (some
more than others, I might add), and more or less driven by healthy lifestyles.
So I was quite surprised to find that, of the eight of us, only one had
experienced acupuncture. One! And that was in Korea. Perhaps more shocking was
this man's inability to grasp what I meant when I asked if he'd ever experienced
community acupuncture. He looked at me, outright confused. "Opposed to what?" he
asked. "Why on God's green earth would you need your own room?"
