It's been an exciting month or two as I've been running to be on the board of my condo association. As election day gets closer it's escalated into a mild form of cyber-bullying. While the threats are indirect and more passive-aggressive, they can still sting. Here are a few tips on navigating cyberbullying should this happen to you.

Last year, I attended a workshop on The Laws of Attraction. I was thrilled to share my Rate-A-Date worksheet with the attendees. However, there was another gentleman there who was a professional pickup artist, or, as we like to say in the world of hypnosis, a member of the seduction community. He was a big dude, well over 6', bald, wearing glasses and overalls. He shared how he systematically picked up women on dating websites, step by step, and at one time, was dating 30+ different women.

Memorial Day is more than just a three-day weekend that marks the unofficial start of summer. It's a time-honored tradition in the United States, dedicated to honoring and remembering the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the U.S. military.

A few weeks ago, a terrific opportunity came up. Friends of mine asked if I knew anyone who might be interested in purchasing their "vacation club membership." The perks included membership to a club along with thousands of vacation points. It was perfect for what Doug and I wanted and had been looking for, but was it a good deal? We began asking around. Other friends we knew had a similar deal and paid a lot more. We researched online and discovered we were indeed getting a good deal.

While I feel honored to have helped so many on their healing journey, first as a comedian and now as a hypnotist, I sometimes forget that I must pay attention to my healing journey. I started experiencing a series of health issues that I hadn't experienced in several months.

I'll spare you the details...but my character was attacked this past week. It was a verbal assault, and it caught me entirely off guard. Whether these attacks come from someone you know or a stranger, online or in person, they are never easy to handle. Learn how to cope with personal attacks more effectively.

It’s been 2 years since being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism.  It’s been quite an interesting journey.  I was reviewing with my doctor all the changes I’ve made these past two years:

Last week was a tough week. It started with a trip to Quest Diagnostics to get my annual bloodwork to see how my Hashimoto's hypothyroid is doing. I'm a notoriously tricky stick. I think about having my blood drawn, and my veins shrivel up into nothing. I have learned over the years that I do pretty well with a butterfly needle, so I always make it a point to politely ask the phlebotomist to use one. This day was different. I got the phlebotomist, who did not like me telling her how to do her job. She told me she would see for herself and determine which needle to use.

Every day, my social media and email are bombarded by "panaceas," universal remedies and programs that are supposed to fix every ailment and woe known to man. I'm under an endless solicitation of exercise programs, patches, liquids, potions, pills, and powders that are supposed to make me feel better, live longer, and be healthier.

2024 is looking amazing! I was selected to teach my Comedy Writing for Stage Hypnotists at the Performing Hypnosis Summit in February. In July, I'll teach my first 3-Day Certification of The Hilarity And Hypnosis Approach (HAHA!). This class is truly the culmination of my life's work as a comedian and a hypnotist.

When I moved to Paradise Lakes, I heard rumors about retired hypnotist Dr. John Gullo living in the neighborhood. When I became President of the condo association, our paths crossed at the office, and he complimented me on the job I was doing for the association. A few months later, he sent me a few articles he had written about hypnosis

Halloween is tomorrow, so let's take a few moments between parties and trick-or-treating to clear some of those "cobwebs" in your mind. Cobwebs are those memories that hide in the corners of our minds, collecting dust. Memories we don't let go of yet don't seem to do anything positive for us. Negative memories can often linger in our minds, causing distress and affecting our mental health. Every now and then, it's time to do a deep clean, so let's take a few minutes to clear these mental cobwebs and create space for clarity, creativity, and peace. While it's not possible to completely erase these memories, there are strategies you can use to manage them effectively.
