Get rid of acid reflux for good

Know what gets rid of acid reflux for good?  Stop eating the crap you eat, lose your excess weight, eat smaller meals of natural, unprocessed food.  What’s processed food? Anything with a label.  Pain is nature’s way of telling your something needs to change. Stop pretending you don’t know.

I get my mortgage refinance!

After being turned down for refinance by my long time mortgage company,  my sweet galpal ChaCha LaBelle asked me when I could reapply. That reminded me this was not a halt, this was just a delay.  I got a referral to another mortgage lender and was told that each lender has their own criteria about percentages and ratios of loan to value and debt to income. I had nothing to lose, so I called and got them my paperwork.  I was glad to learn that my current appraisal could be transferred and I would not need a new one. Continue reading

The Invisible Counselors are now in session

This website was created so I could share my experience with the Invisible Counselor’s process from Napoleon Hill’s book Think and Grow Rich. With this workbook, you will discover who your Invisible Counselors are, and you will record your sessions with them.   I’ve shared transcripts of my own initial meetings and included exercises to help you hold your own.  It’s fun to get together in a group and do the workbook.  The exercises are designed to help you to carve those neural pathways, through the mental muscle memory in your mind and let you become practiced at it.  As you have new thoughts and beliefs, you realize more and more what is possible for you, and you will attract clearer guidance and more interesting invisible counselors at your table..

AN INVITATION FOR YOU TO JOIN ME.  I’ve had a lot of success and fun using this workbook and would like to invite you to share your experiences.  You can email me at horizonsmagazine@gmail.com.  If the images don’t show up properly for you at the site, use the Mozilla Firefox browser.

Your Sleeping Pattern is Ever Changing – and Naps are Healthy

My sleep habits are an ever-changing thing (see also My morphing sleep cycles of menopause and Not able to sleep?)  I’ve been sleeping a lot lately and currently I’ve been going to bed at 6:00pm and waking up about midnight.  Then in the morning I take a nap between 6:00am and 8:00-9:00am.  I’ve been taking in less calories the past two months, maybe 1,000 a day maximum and have kept 15 pounds off.  I figure that may have something to do with me needing more sleep, while my body adjusts.

Building momentum – do it for the income and do it for the outcome

There are times when I’m real productive and motivated and times when I’m not.  In those down times, what carries me forward is the momentum I’ve built up from the past. When I’m in my crazy workaholic mode, I set a lot of projects and ideas into motion. I talk to a lot of people and we get a lot of things going.  Many of these projects are income related but all of them are outcome related.  I’ve learned it’s important for me to build momentum in both areas.

Today’s World Cup Quarterfinals – in 1974 I worked with The Miami Toros Soccer Club

1974 Miami Toros Soccer Club

1974 Miami Toros

I’m hoping to get to watch some of the world cup quarterfinals later on today.  I don’t care who’s playing, I just like soccer/futbol. I don’t take sides or get wrapped up in the controversy, I know that’s just the confusion of mass consciousness playing out on tv for us to watch.

In 1974 I worked with The Miami Toros Soccer Club and met a bunch of the greats, notably futbol legend Pele.  What a kick.

Andrea’s Meditation Process and links

Many people write and ask me how to meditate, especially on Facebook. I always suggest they read the book The Relaxation Response by Herbert Benson . In it, Dr. Benson gives the exact technique as Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s  Transcendental Meditation, but without the religious or spiritual overtones. The book also details what happens physiologically when you meditate.  Many people find it relaxing to listen to a guided visualization cd, where they close their eyes and allow their mind to follow guided imagery. They call this a guided meditation, but it’s not what I mean by the word meditation.  Here’s my process: Continue reading

It’s been a busy week

It’s been a busy week.  Monday afternoon I got a 24 hour tummy bug which helped me reach my target weight LOL.  After being up for 24 hours, I slept on and off for the next 24.  I had a few days off work since the July Horizons Magazine had just gone to press, so I had time to laze around before it got delivered Friday.  I made my healing asparagus soup and watched 1940’s Joan Crawford and Mickey Rooney movies on Turner Classic Movie channel. I’d been experimenting with food intake this month and I’d lost 11 pounds in the two weeks before the tummy bug.  I learned at exactly what weight my tummy disappears! Continue reading
