I have been remiss in posting anything new this week. I might try to convince you that the dog ate my blogwork or my kid brother tore it up. Maybe, I lost it on the way to the post. Whatever, it would all be excuses. Earlier this week I worked with a client who had concerns about her weight. Concerns enough to spend time and money to see me. Apparently not concerned enough to want to do anything real about it. She arrived very late, talked long and created obstacles that would prevent us from achieving the goal of a hypnotic journey. Her choice.
We all have choices to make in life. Everything we do is a result of “reasons” and choices. Our behaviors reward us in some way, at some level. The client choose to sabotage the meeting, for reasons of her own. In the course of our conversation, I could see she needed to hold onto certain “truths” as she saw them. She wasn’t really there to make changes, but rather to prove herself right, to validate her ego and strengthen it’s hold. Ego can separate us from our core selves. Prevent us from becoming our true beings, by keeping us immersed in the chaos of living.
So, all the excuses in the world (as to why I haven’t posted more) will only satisfy me, the creator of the excuses. They don’t help you, the reader. I apologize.
Now, it is Friday and I love silliness. With all of the Presidential campaign talk around the nation, I decided it is time to throw my hat into the ring. Here it is:

@ eleni,
I thought the tattoo was a hoot!
I am counting on you to be my campaign manager now….
@ philo,
Of course you will run with me. We will mesmerize the nation!
That’s pretty funny.
I could just see you at convention halls, talking to gatherings of people and for some reason, ever one of them ends up voting for you and donating a ton of money to your cause.
Nice.

thanks beamer.
do you think a bigger shoe closet in the White House is the right stand to take?
That was cute! How you doing Debbie? I don’t get to the slap and tickle much to talk to anyone. I have a little reason but it is my problem. I stop be every once in a while to say hi to all my friends. Love ya!
etta,
email me. I miss you baby!
Besides, I want you to write my campaign speeches!
Funny.
But I would vote for you. 🙂
max,
you’re not old enough to vote.
However, I would love it if you worked on the campaign with me!
You could be the first Pup!
politics have attacked us all today – that video was great!
I think I prefer the no-show to the person that comes in uncooperative..
I hear you Patrick. The jury is still out for me, I tend to think that even though a client is uncooperative they are getting something at some level that will eventually kick in.
That was great!
I posted the same video last Wednesday….
Great minds think alike Matt!
Are you kidding? You know I totally understand.
Taking personal accountability for ones decisions is admirable…even if it is for making excuses. Please enjoy my latest inspirational post: Do You Believe?
peace,

Hi there Debbie, nice blog… more active than most so don’t be too hard on yourself ^_^
Regarding uncooperative clients: is it just me or does it seem that this type of client is more common for weight loss than any other issue? I try not to think of clients as being at fault for resistance, after all they are making some effort simply by coming in the first place, but it can be frustrating! I do my best to prescreen people who just want to be “cured” without any personal effort, but it sure seems like weight loss folks tend to fall into that category more than any other.
Regards,

Steve,
I do have the weight clients who are resistant, but also those who are thinking of giving up a habit like smoking.
Our job is to ease them through, however, we best can.
I love a challenge, how about you?
