It's a Wonderful Life

It's a Wonderful LifeIn November 1996 I was made redundant from a senior role within the Investment banking industry; I felt lost. I looked for a new role in the newspapers and with many recruitment agencies, nothing even sparked my interest. No surprise, I was unsuccessful at all interviews, there was not a new job for me.In February 1997 I got the message that changed my life forever.At the insistence of a close friend I had gone to visit Jean Clarke, a Colonic therapist. During the first minute of my initial visit to Jean, she said had a message for me, but was dubious about giving me the message. I insisted.

The message was that the man in front of her (me) felt his life was over and the affect of this would be this. Within two years I would become seriously ill and die within five years. Even the love of for my wife and two young sons would not be enough to keep me here. I had given none of this personal information to Jean.I was shaken; Jeans' message resonated with me as no other ever had. After twenty frustrating years in business life I did feel my life was over.

I felt I had been there and done it many times over, there was little more left for me to achieve.The information came to her as a message. There was another message; if I changed my life and turned towards a role of helping people I would have a long and happy life ahead of me. The veils began to lift from my eyes. I felt I had hope and my life changed that day in that room in South London. I always bless Jean for being my messenger and guide during this period of my life.I decided to turn my back on my previous professional life and seek a new path.

Fear and excitement came in equal measure, as I once again became a student. This time I was an eager and in time a humble student.For the past six years my life has been a rollacoaster of emotion, fear, joy, happiness and loneliness. I knew the general direction I had to travel with no idea as to the specifics. I have always been and remain a true skeptic, open-minded and willing to try.I journeyed to places I could not have imagined myself going. I first became attuned to Reiki healing and found my life changing.

I began to link with wonderful enthusiastic people. I continued my studies in the area of healing such as bio-energy, Journeywork, Higher Self work (which Jean introduced me to) and many other studies. I also decided to develop my conscious or unconscious skills. I studied NLP, Timeline, Covey techniques and many more. I found all of these techniques fascinating.I enthusiastically traveled both the healing and practitioner routes.

After three years I discovered, they were the same route. As I grew within myself I discovered they were all parts of a toolkit to help in the process of healing.It was always about my personal growth. Whether I was working upon myself or another person, I was always facing a part of my own transition. Whatever the issue, I felt that when I was ready, I was always supplied with the true answer. I often did not understand the question posed, but trusted in the answer.

The gift, my faith began to take on a more powerful role in my life. People ask me what has changed in my life. All I can say is that I have experienced and continue to experience greater feelings of peace, joy and happiness than ever before in my life.I felt my passed was spent swimming against the current. Now I spend a great deal of time in still warm waters. At times I also experience the joy of being in the flow' and moving with the current; an astonishing experience.If I get down, it is only for short periods before I bounce back.

In the past depressions stayed with me for days or even weeks. In fact as I look back with hindsight upon my earlier life I believe I felt depressed for most of it.I have stopped blaming other for events that happen in my life and take responsibility for every aspect of my life. I sometimes knee-jerk into blame, but I soon recover and see it differently. A most empowering feelingAs I felt many of the fears and worries leave my life, I was better able to be me and empathize with others. My role was only ever to heal myself.

Also to help others, if I can, do the same. Many of us travel a path of pain and depression. Whilst buried in this illusion, many just wish to create or own physical demise, as I did. If you are in this place there is another way. You do not have to develop a life threatening illness to begin change.

London, UK (ContentDesk) January 27, 2006 -- Women over 40 are not all queuing up to visit their local cosmetic surgeon, as Caryn Franklin's new eBook 'How To Look Good at 40 Plus' points out."The question of how to re-define their image is one that concerns all women after 40", said Franklin, "looking older is often marketed as a problem that needs fixing and these days women over 40 are subtly conditioned by media excitement around cosmetic surgery"."There's this vibe that everyone is doing it and that the surgeons knife is common place and invasive chemical treatments are every day.

Scrubbugs, A Medical Clothier, Goes High Fashion - Caters To Trendy HealthCare Professionals

(ContentDesk) December 13, 2005 -- When Gayle and I began to develop the idea of selling medical uniforms, we didnt realize there was any such thing as a stylish scrub.
Yet, thats where its all going, commented Todd Simper, part of the husband/wife team that runs Scrubbugs.com, a Website that sells fashionable scrubs. Peaches and Dickies Uniforms, our main lines, are trend-setters. You might as well be shopping for casual wear- for all the color and variety that now exists, says Gayle Simper. When we originally got into this business, we didnt really know how fashion-conscious and forward moving it was, adds Todd.

The Medical Uniform and Nursing Scrubs business is going through some major changes. Uniforms may never make it to the actual diversity in casual or formal wear, but the look is certainly changing and may be beginning to evolve. Medical Uniforms used to be known as ordinary whites, but the times are definitely changing.We love our Peaches uniforms....

Assumptions ? The Hidden Sales Killer

Assumptions can kill a sale. In my sales training workshops, I frequently discuss the importance of not making assumptions about a person before, during, or after the sales process. Participants frequently nod and tell me that they NEVER make assumptions. One person (Doug Maquire, www.MaquireMarketing.com) sent me this story of a situation that occurred in a department store he worked in many years ago. "I was the 'young kid' who had signed on to take the 9 month Management Training course for a department store chain.

Sales people were generally assigned specific areas to cover within the store but being a 'management trainee' I had to learn all departments." One day, a rough looking middle aged fellow entered the store. He was dressed in well-worn workpants, work boots, and a soiled red and black plaid shirt just like you'd expect a lumberjack to wear. No one approached him (I guess he didn't look like a good sales prospect)...
