Benny is hugging his lucky teddy bear. Every time he feels love, the dollars rain down on him. Me, too.

Make sure your parent is not a victim

An ongoing theme in calls this week is elderly relatives being taken advantage of by con artists and their adult kids don’t know it because they’re not involved in their finances. My father in law had Alzheimer’s disease and before I brought him into my home to live with me, he handled all his own finances. I was at his home one day and answered the phone for him twice in a couple of hours. Both were salesmen who asked for him by name as though they were old friends. Long story short, afterward I looked at his check register and I was stunned to learn he had been writing checks for years for hundreds of dollars to (1) vitamin companies who sent him cases of vitamins which were expired on the date they were mailed and (2) tens of thousands of dollars to outright con artists. They’d ask him to mail money orders out of state and he’d go right to the bank and do it. Please be aware this may be happening to your parent and they will not tell you. Know who they are writing checks to and why. My father in law, when asked, said he would tell the callers no at first but they would convince him he needed to send them money for his own good. Before he came to my home, these people would call him on a regular basis with new offers, and they had his credit card number.  Continue reading →

I just processed 122 emails, printing receipts, logging in payments. I’m feeling lighter all the time. Having no backlog of work makes me feel light and free.

The website is now mobile responsive! I get tired of going to web pages on my phone and having to do the finger span to make the text large enough to read. Then I realized my own site was like that. No more! I also moved over the links to the pdf files of the last ten years’ worth of past issues as well as the horoscopes, so everything can be accessed –> from the main page.

A friend woke me this morning telling me there were surveyors down the street having a big argument that they could not get behind a fence.  That escalated to one telling the other “you never do any work, I have to do everything, you’re always late.” I prepared to go down there and my friend told me to butt out. But I went out anyway because because I knew how to get them behind the fence. That left them more time for griping. I’m always willing to give somebody tips to save them time.

Wow, two months ago I was really bumming with a ligament injury behind my knee and it felt like it was never going to get better. Today was the test I had to go up and down several sets of stairs and do it pretty quickly and I was shocked at how strong it felt. Yay for powers of recuperation!

Most of my spam calls lately have been collection companies offering to collect my debts from clients who haven’t paid. I don’t do business like that. If they pay, they get service. If not, they don’t. BIG FAT BIZNESS SECRET: If you make people pay, they will pay. Those who don’t will go elsewhere and make room for those who do pay. They really will.  I don’t let people slide on paying because I know having them in a good habit of paying on time and a fair price helps our prosperity keep flowing. I’m all about helping everyone stay in the flow.

Can Teeth Heal and Regenerate? There is a lot of evidence showing that diet had a tremendous impact on oral health (even more so than brushing in some cases) and that there had even been cases of cavities reversing.  The group consuming no phytic acid and supplementing Vitamin D showed very few new cavities and actually had many existing cavities heal! A good reason to cut back on the grains, beans,nuts, eat good fats, limit fruits and starches, and take more Vitamin D. Fortunately, a decaying or broken tooth has the ability to heal itself. Pulp contains cells called odontoblasts, which form new dentin if the diet is good.”  Article –> How to Remineralize Teeth. A recipe for –> a reminiralizing toothpaste is here.   Continue reading →

A New Moon Solar Eclipse will occur in the sign of Virgo early into the day on Sunday, September 13th. Its effects can be felt up to six months after the actual date of the eclipse. In the sign of Virgo, work and health matters will be a major focus on a personal level. This eclipse is about new beginnings regarding work, attention to details, fitness, health regimes, and daily routines. This is a time when we should build our powers of healthy, constructive discrimination; learn to be more pro-active; start a new health and fitness routine; set up specific routines that will help us manage our lives in positive, mindful ways; and learn the “power of now” and of mindfulness. This is a time when we can learn to master the “little” details of our day-to-day lives in a more organized manner so that we can free our minds of clutter. For some of us, circumstances are such that we need to pay more attention to our work and health routines.   Continue reading →

Full Moon in 1st House For a day or so you may find things get fairly wacky in your surroundings, and one of the causes may be you. The time is right (and the pressure is on) to bring critical projects to a conclusion, put on finishing touches, and show the world just what you’re all about. The emphasis is not so much on what you’ve done, but rather who you are, and it’s the right time to let your personality out of the box and shine, shine, shine. The whole set of circumstances may have you a little giddy, but that’s part of the surrounding picture at Full Moon, and this is your time to take a ride on that energy and put your personal mark on what comes of it.    Continue reading →
