Power of a Positive No

Monday, August 12th, 2013

I’m listening to a great book right now, well-written and useful in all situations. The Power of a Positive No by William Murray helps us stop accommodating, attacking, or avoiding situations that require us to say no.

2. More videos on the Power of a Positive No

When people get themselves in trouble, either by saying yes when their truth is a no or by getting aggressive or resentful, it’s because they do not know how to say no, maintain their dignity and their relationship at the same time. This book tells you how to do that. It is a Wow! Book, the kind of book that can change your life by helping you change your behavior. No past life regression needed, no primal scream, no colonics–just intention, practice, and more practice.

Here is my summary and thoughts on the book. Click HERE

Here is the song for children I sang a few bars of in my audio.  Good for adults as well.

Follow Your Art

Joseph Campbell said we should follow our bliss.  I’ve added that we will be the happiest if we follow our bliss because it will stalk us.  I have now decided to follow my art wherever it takes me, riding the horse called “Yes!”

Follow Your ArtHere is a photo of one of my fabric and glue creations.  I’m buying fabric in Bali now, and glue, to bring back to the U.S. So I can continue following my art there.

But I’m following my art all day long wherever I am, and that is the subject of this audio:
