To sorry or not to sorry?
I made this video to express my outlook on “sorry” and the mature alternative to apologizing process.
That is just my opinion and we know… opinions are just like … kidneys… everyone has at least one. What do you think of that sorry idea?
Personal development with watermelon ???
Oh yes!
Personal development with Watermelon, of course!
My friend Wally Amos, the face behind America’s best tasting chocolate chip cookies – http://www.chipandcookie.com is a superstar, and has a life of the superstar as well. The “superest” thing about him is his happy positive and supportive attitude. He loves life, he loves people and he loves Watermelons.
Recently, we had a lunch together and Wally told me about his new book, based on his famous “Watermelon credo”. That will be his 9th book. When I asked him how does he do it, he just happily smiled and said “Watermelons help me”
What does that mean?
Well, check out the credo and you will know. The simple wisdom can take you a long way in life. In his own words, Wally said “Watermelons are fun and inspirational and a reminder for us to always live from our highest self.”

Share“My wife has issues, why should I tap?”
I know a young couple, we’ll call Mike & Sarah, that are open minded, funny, connected and generally happy. Lately, Mike has been experiencing lots of problems with Sarah. He said, “I am a nice guy, I do my job, more than expected, and still, she gets angry, moody and ignores me and my needs. She has so many issues and she should tap with you, but she doesn’t want to. She doesn’t think tapping is what she needs… how do I make her come and tap?”
I smiled and invited him to come without her and do his own tapping. When Sarah is ready she will join too.
Mike came for a session and for the first 10 minutes he spoke about her problems, her stress, her attitude and her rage. He gave me so much valuable information in those first few minutes. He basically shared all of the problems HE HAS with her. Sarah’s problems were actually “owned” by Mike.
He felt it everywhere and even if Sarah would show him love, he wouldn’t be able to see it. He was looking at what he was focusing on. In his mind, he was a victim of her emotional swings. In his mind he always gave and never got anything back…. Just like his memories from childhood.
Of course, being a man with the powerful masculine identity, he was unaware of where that came from. So, we started with tapping and NLP combined. I didn’t use the karate chop point at all, since he was already in the “trance.”
We first tapped on “I do so much for her” and when he was deeply convinced that THAT is the source of the problem, I got him out of trance with “She does so much for me.” He got quiet and nodded his head in a surprise.
We went back to the “I do so much for her trance.” We got him out with “I don’t do anything for her, anything that she really needs.” He nodded again.
When I attempted to get him back to the place of “I do so much for her,” Mike smiled and humbly said, “You know, that’s not true, I do all of that for me, because I love doing the things I do! I just tell her that I am doing it for her.”
Layer by layer, we were cleaning up his firm beliefs. The biggest surprise came when he suddenly remembered that he is actually the angry and the moody one. Then he remembered that once he got so angry that he broke everything that was breakable in the house. When I asked him how come he forgot about it, he said, “Oh, that was long time ago, last year.”
His subconscious mind tricked him in the most elegant way. Mike was projecting his internal chatter, his own beliefs on Sarah. And that was just a beginning of our work – as we tapped, he was releasing and letting go of the deep, strong emotions and finally discovered how it all begun – from the experiences his absent mother. His subconscious mind got the message that if a woman loves you, she would leave you. Because Sarah was not leaving, he was desperately re-creating situations that could potentially lead to the end. Because of intense yelling in his childhood, he felt alive when someone yell at him. Since Sarah was not a yeller, he made powerful projections that were true to him. It was a double edged sword.
A few days later, I called to check in on him. Mike said that they were both so busy and he didn’t have time to think about our session. When asked if they had time to fight, he smiled and said, “No, not yet!” I invited him to make time for some good yelling fun, but he just ignored my invitation. I wonder why…
The moral of the story is… when we point our finger outward we often project our own insecurities on to the people we love. When we have inner conflict the place to start is with ourselves. When we balance our own emotions our situation becomes much more clear. Then we can respond in a loving and supportive way.
Next time when you are convinced that your spouse really needs to tap, remember your power and that YOU can help your spouse by tapping on yourself….
And Luv Delicious!

ShareYes-No Experiment
Yesterday, I posted a simple saying on the Face Book
From my personal “school of hard knocks” file: If you are not interested in something, be clear! Say: “No” and keep quiet. Say what you mean and mean what you say!
Response was excellent.
It is obvious that EVERYONE has had communication challenges, thinking “No”, but saying “Yes” and vice versa.
Why do we do that? Why do we say what we do not mean? Why don’t we mean what we say?
There are several answers to that question, depending on the circumstances and people we are dealing with, depends on the level of risk and on our beliefs.
- We want to be accepted and liked. We prefer saying “sweet words”, words we think people want to hear. Those “sweet” words are NOT Delicious. They ultimately leave us with the bitter taste of regret, guilt and disempowerment.
- We don’t want to rock the boat – we are afraid if we speak up it will backfire on us (and it sometimes does), so we opt for remaining a victim of our own communication habits.
- We don’t want to “hurt” other people. This one almost always ends up in hurt anyway, and we are the person that gets hurt. Even if the incident is minor (such as mentioning to someone that their breath is not fresh).
Delicious Solution:
Be honest with yourself – Feel your personal “Delicious Yes”.
In order to do that STOP doing what you are doing, ( in conversation – Stop your need to answer the questions that are presented in front of you) and TAKE A BREATH. Just breathe and feel your “Delicious Yes”.
How does it feel energetically in your body? Soft, warm, bright, open? Is it moving you forward? Does it leave a little smile on our lips? Gentle feeling of security? Shoulders relaxed? Feel that feeling and breathe it into every cell of your body. Feel it. Own it.
