		<description><![CDATA[There are so many moments in our lives when we feel stuck.  We see how we "want" to be, yet  recognize that the negative thoughts and feelings we have are the result of certain triggers, (e.g, situations or people) that make us feel powerless, reconnect us to the pain we are trying to leave behind, or create ick feelings of frustration.   What's most difficult is that it can happen when we least expect it, even those moments when we are feeling super groovy.  

When you are triggered, however, it doesn't mean you have to stay "stuck" in this ick feeling.  There are techniques you can use to become aware of your "re-actions" and then help you become responsible for your changing your thoughts, feelings and actions so that you can literally catapult yourself to a new level of awareness, happiness, and ultimately love of self and others.  Here's an example of how negative victim or conflict thinking can manifest inside your head via the "word" of the inner critical voice I often refer to as the "dark side" voice:

		<description><![CDATA[Now, on to the guest blog, written by David Shade.  While it has nothing to do with Christmas, per se, it does for me.  It was on Christmas Eve, six years ago, that I was madly in love with the consummate bad boy.  He was all these things.  Sometimes he was worse.  Sometimes he was better.  I tell people, "he was the best, worst thing that ever happened to me" because the pain I suffered as a result of this relationship was debilitating.  The good news is that it took me to the depths of myself, forcing me to pick myself up, transform my thinking, and take back control of my life.

My wish is for you to take control of your life in 2010.  I'm here to support you on the journey.  In the meantime, I'm going to smile, post this blog, breathe deeply, and do what is necessary to enjoy the warm Maui breeze --

Now, on to Bad Boys.  I'm dedicating this blog to mine.
