 I watched how just the right dose of anger can work in a positive way. It happened early yesterday morning and sparked a lively conversation. Here is the scene: Herb, my husband, and I wanted an early start from our motel at the edge of the Mojave Desert.
Westward Ho! To California with personal items we accumulated living in Santa Fe for almost 20 years. Up till now the U-Haul had been chugging along just fine. We were packed up and ready. San Francisco, here we come.

 A Woman Scorned I was just informed that Hailey Glassman is proposing to write a book about all the “dirt” from the Gosselin drama. All I can say is “Enough “ and “Where are her parents”?

In the past few weeks I have been pruning my own inner garden. Sadly, there were weeds taking over the beauty of the flowers. Some of my weeds had to do with patterns I wanted to deny, like being a denier. And it has gotten in the way of my best judgment. I felt like the shoemaker without any shoes and I must admit I have been beating myself up, until an old friend said, “Well, remember, we always teach what we need most to learn!” Guess I forget that too!
The following article about judgment is excellent. Take the time to read along with my response. In the meantime I am checking every moment, every conversation to make sure I am not denying the truth that sites at the heart each and every conversation.

 Winning Workplace Just arrived back from California and felt so proud and honored to be with the folks who are at “control central” at CEO. Everyone is busy buzzing along with tasks and projects and a piece that is in short supply in most companies, fun.

 Interesting that most little kids get a teddy bear at one point in their babyhood, and of course there is always Winnie the Pooh to warm hearts. All animals have a symbolic message and symbols go deeply into the unconscious parts of our thinking and feeling. This post by Arianna Huffington is excellent. She asks us to think about what we read and hear and then what we think about what we read and hear. For me Arianna represent an eagle that is able to soar above the fray and notice all the subtleties of what is going on.

 Last week a client called to tell me he couldn’t sleep. I knew just to listen. Then he said he was losing his appetite. I knew just to listen. Then he said something interesting, “It’s like, Sylvia, like every step I take there is a stone in my shoe and when I stop to shake it out there is nothing there.” He then admitted he felt stupid telling me that and yet, and yet, the gnawing, uncomfortable feeling would not go away.

 Workplace Conflict Do you think there is more workplace conflict today than, say, ten years ago? If you said yes, you are right. More companies are reporting that stress is super high and that arguments are over the top.

 shrugging of the shoulders Have you ever complained about some ugly situation, one filled with workplace stress and tension and a colleague shrugs their shoulders and says “Life is not fair, so give it up!”

Is this typical? I’m afraid it is. And this is what not only causes conflict, it causes stress, and more stress and guess what, health issues from the stress.

 Mel Gibson Why is there so much razzle-dazzle blah, blah, blah about Mel Gibson? He is only one of a long line of individuals (female as well as male) who make nasty comments on the phone with lots of four to seven letter words that are bleeped out on the television.
