Wow, I had no idea it had been so long since the last time I posted a Blog entry. I guess I kind of got sucked into the Corporate World more deeply than I thought I would...

I will work to be better at this.

Today was an Information Overload, as I took a class from NGH Vice President Don Mottin on Rewiring the Brain for Stroke Survivors. So much wonderful, valuable information, I'm having a difficult time wrapping my mind around it! I had no idea that there were 4 different kinds of strokes (which, of course, range in severity), or that there was such a wide variety of issues that stroke survivors (and their caretakers!) have to deal with. Hypnosis can't help with all of the issues, but it's certainly a very powerful tool to help dramatically improve the quality of life for these people.

I also had no idea that, since 2/3 of strokes happen to people 65 and over, that obviously leaves a whopping 1/3 of strokes that happen to people *under* 65! Incredible! Imagine all the good ways in which I can help people diminish the possibility of ever having a stroke, by reducing their risk factors such as smoking and being overweight...

I have a shiny new certificate to frame and display, and more training materials coming my way for a wide variety of other topics. And I've been brainstorming all day on new ways to market myself, my knowledge and skills, as well as creating an Intention that I am putting out into the Universe, knowing and believing that it is manifesting even now.

2011 is going to be my most exciting year yet, and it starts NOW!!!
