The year 2012 in almost ending, as the holiday season knocks on our door. It’s time to be around the family and enjoy some quality time together. But it’s also a great time to review the main events of the passing year and think about what’s coming up for 2013. Out with the Old and in with the New A new year means a new chance. It marks the end of a cycle and the beginning of a new one in our lives. If the last year was not as good as expected, than the new one will break the bad luck. It’s out with the old and in with the new!
I wanted to discuss efficiency in our martial arts training. By this I am not referring to economy of motion which is efficiency of movement. Think of this as “Efficiency of Training“. Economy of Motion is a very important topic and one that deserves it’s own independent discussion. Efficiency in training challenges us to constantly refine and revisit all aspects of our training methodology. We must look at curriculum, the strategies of our instruction and training, and its approach to combat. It challenges us to streamline our approach and thinking.
Sometimes it seems like the hardest part of getting organized is just finding the time to do it. Especially if it's been years since you've made a dedicated effort towards organization, just the thought of tackling such a big job is enough to make you put it off until another day. However, dealing with disorganization on a daily basis can be very stressful, so it can be well worth your efforts to just bite the bullet and set aside the time to get the job done right. It's OK to Just Do a Little Bitr
What does the word "Mom", "Mother" bring into your head? First thoughts? Mine is a bit American style vision - a woman, mid age, wearing a kitchen apron, with a cooking glove on one hand and holding a glass of lemonade in the other. Brown hair, no glasses, no makeup. This has a lot to do with my mother, but it also differs a lot. You see - my mother is a businesswoman. She helps my dad run a company. This tends to interfere with many household chores which need doing. I wonder - what would my kids see in me when they grow up? What expectations would they have of me and would I meet them?
FINDING THE LIGHT: OVERCOMING DEPRESSION By Laura Schultz, MFT “We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope”---Martin Luther King
Last year, I received a satchel full of money on the front steps at my home. When that money arrived, I actually was out of town but my son called me and said “There was a lot of money left at the front door with a note.” When, I returned home I was touched by the note, which read, "Thank you for all you do for the world." I immediately placed all of this money into my sacred fun, which is used for those in need or service projects. I continue to replenish this fund with gifts from my sacred work-- when it brings gifts of monetary value the money immediately goes into a fund.
No matter how committed we are to eating healthy, each one of us has slip-ups where we give in to unhealthy food cravings. And while that may be okay once in a while, if you routinely eat based solely on your cravings, there may be more than just your taste buds calling the shots. You can blame uncontrolled eating or binging on lack of will power. But what if it is not will power, but your belief system that running the show under the hood? That is some food for thought, isn’t it?
Have you ever felt the pressures and expectations of keeping up with today’s latest lifestyle and trends? Yes? Okay, fess up. How many of us have an Apple product in our house? iPod, iPhone, iPad, Mac computer, etc.? I do. I received an iPod from a vendor a few months ago, and it is still sitting in the package on my dresser. Now, some of you might say that it’s a waste for me to not use it right now. I mean, I could download 100’s of songs and listen to them while I go on my daily walk. But, if I did, I could be missing out on something more important than an iPod or iTunes.

Depending upon the study you read, some 80-90% of New Years Resolutions will fail. The intention to change is great. The means of going about it is not. How familiar does this sound? You want to lose weight, run a marathon and start a new business. You target January 1st and the launch day to your new life. You tell your friends about it, and write it down in 20 different places. December 20th, you are so sure it will happen. No doubts whatsoever! Christmas comes and you still are pretty psyched about it, but it is Christmas after all, so not much thought goes into it.

When it comes to fitness training, there aren't a lot of things you can say that apply to everyone that will get them into shape. Because each of us comes with our own genetics, background, and priorities. What works for one of us might not for another, and vice versa. Still, when new personal training clients are looking to make sense of it all, it helps to give them a sort of "30,000 foot view" of fitness. These are the five things you'll have to incorporate if you want to get into - and stay into - the best shape of your life:
Divorce can be ugly. Courts can make it uglier. I think we are all in agreement "settle out of court". How can a couple do that when they are fighting to the extent they are filing for divorce? You are probably going to get tired of hearing me say first always "Fight for your Marriage."
Dependent Origination, the direct transcendent knowledge and understanding of which the Buddha proclaimed to be the lynchpin of enlightenment, is an area far removed from physical reality in many ways In many other ways, Dependent Origination is the best intellectual explanation of the entirety of life as we know and experience it. The cause and effect of life, the beginnings as well as the continuance of physical reality from the standpoint of bodies and minds revolving in a spiritual realm beyond the six common senses which we rely upon for all of our current knowledge.
Let’s face some facts. We have made tremendous progress in reducing the torments of discrimination and isolation and oppression as results of racism. However, there is still a very long way to go. We are still imprisoned more often, less well educated, dying faster, more underemployed, more financially compromised and more stressed out than our white counterparts in these United States of America.

I don't know a thing about you, but I'll bet that it is necessary that you look at some common teaching suggestions before starting out with the coaching soccer drills. Work out a common objective for the team as well as yourself as a coach, for instance; during soccer practice the players must enjoy the game while they are a part of it. At this time, it’s essential to follow your goal and not feel distracted by other things. I therefore recommend that you decide on more specific objectives for yourself and your soccer team.
"If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway." Mother Teresar
“Someday there will be a great awakening when we know that this is all a great dream. Yet the stupid believe they are awake, busily and brightly assuming they understand things, calling this man ruler, that one herdsman – how dense! Confucius and you are both dreaming! And when I say you are dreaming, I am dreaming, too. Words like these will be labeled the Supreme Swindle. Yet, after ten thousand generations, a great sage may appear who will know their meaning, and it will still be as though he appeared with astonishing speed. …r
On the 6th doctor I visited to look deeper into what these agonizing symptoms I was experiencing could be, I got some interesting advice. The advice I was given was unlike what anyone had ever told me before, and in time it showed me a natural path to overcoming my generalized anxiety disorder. After the numerous tests that came back to this doctor all showing no sign of anything serious, the result was that these symptoms such as my consistent dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pains etc that would ultimately lead me to full blown panic attacks, were all symptoms of anxiety.
Millions of people are reconnecting with old school friends and keeping up with current friends on various social media networks such as Facebook and MySpace.

"...Inner happiness actually is the fuel for success" Dr, John Hagelin You might feel like you are doing and thinking the right things- maybe you have a goal poster, affirmations, a strong vision, and you are action oriented- but you have some goals that seem to remain elusive. There are a few things you can consider- one is that the joy and happiness needs to be in place first- two is that you may have a limiting belief in play (I am not worthy, I don't deserve this, etc),and three - you may need to expand your capacity to receive.
This is one of the most common comments heard when talking with people about an Ex.

Everything you think on any subject, is a story your mind is resurrecting and reciting. Even your smallest of daily activities are accompanied with a mental chatter, a distant or faded story about something or someone, playing in the background. Your mind strings thoughts together in reaction or response to some event that once appeared, and this string of thoughts becomes all that occupies your momentary view.
Humanity is experiencing a quantum leap in its evolutionary growth. It has been experiencing this quantum leap for quite a while now, beginning with the age of technology. What is at hand now is a “quickening” of this growth, an awakening, a doorway to an expanded state of being. Humanity is about to embark on a journey that it has never imagined possible. This quickening of humanity is what is being spoken of when people talk about the end of the world according to the Mayan Calendar, 2012. It is what people mean when they say Christ will return.

It seems like the world is running at such an accelerated speed that we barely have any time to catch our breath. We start the day running out the door at full tilt; only keep going until we crash into bed from exhaustion. Then we get up and do it all over again day after day. The weekends don’t seem to offer much relief either, because we have soccer practice, ballet recitals and business social events. While most of us would consider ourselves effective time managers, few o
