<div style="text-align: center;">This weekend, my family traveled to the Cross Lake area. My dad and Step-mom have a wonderful home on Clamshell Lake. We were blessed with perfect weather. Sunday morning, my husband and I took the kayaks out, then I grabbed my book and a tea, and sat on the dock. What a way to start the day! It was the calm before the storm, but in the best of ways. The afternoon was filled with taking the kids tubing and jumping off the boat into the beautiful waters on the White Fish Chain. I was in Paradise! We have so many natural gems in the state of Minnesota. My hope for all for all of you is that you find your paradise and kick back and enjoy it ~ may it be by a lake, in your bathtub, or in your favorite chair! Have a great week!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Lisa Fahey</div><div style="text-align: center;">www.speikercompany.com </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

In the blue print of our minds we have programs all ready set up and in progress. Our outer world in merely a symptom of our inner world. However most of us try to change our outer world without addressing the cause of the issue (our inner world).<br />
<br />
Being overweight is only a symptom, cause you are acting out your beliefs and habits as an over weight person. Is that really who you are? If you want to be lean and healthy you have to think like a lean and healthy person and act like a lean and healthy person. You have to address you inner blue print, your beliefs and habits. You need to change your inner blueprint, your inner world and see yourself as having all the abilities and strengths, see yourself as a lean and healthy person, than your outside world will shift to match your beliefs.<br />
<br />
If your outside world isn't what you want it to be, than there is no way out of it other than to change your inner world. You have the strength, take the step.<br />

I am the mother of a teenager. I know it is hard to believe that my oh-so-young-looking-self has a thirteen year old, but my son had a birthday on Sunday throwing me into the club of Moms of teens. I have mixed emotions about this. On one hand, its only a number, but on the other it is a harsh slap of reality that as each year goes by, he is that much closer to becoming an adult. So I will do my best to cherish each moment in the next several years, and help guide him along a path that will insure a wonderful future as he creates his adult life. The terms "cut the apron strings" and "cut the umbilical cord" come to mind, but for me it is going to take baby steps so today I am only willing to sever the strings ever so slightly!<br />
<br />
Wish me luck and patience!<br />

Many of us (myself included) have this false belief that relaxing is a waste of time and that there is always something better to do.</div></div><div style="font-size: 13px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div></div><div style="font-size: 13px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Everyone needs moments where they don't have to think or do and can just simply <em>be</em>. For a lot of overweight people, food is the only luxury they give themselves. It's the only way they know how to take care of themselves. It's how they find comfort among all the stress and chaos of everyday life. In between running the kids to activities, jobs, housework, etc... That donut, candy bar, chips, or ice cream Is sometimes the only break they get. It's the only way they know to give themselves some much needed comfort.</div></div><div style="font-size: 13px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div></div><div style="font-size: 13px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">What do you enjoy doing that can give you comfort? For me I like to read romance novels. It's a guilty pleasure and it's something I find time to do every day, even if it's just a chapter. It's how I can escape for a little while and not worry or think about what needs to get done. It's a healthy distractor. I highly encourage everyone to find something, no matter how small to do for themselves everyday (for at least 15 minutes). A healthy distractor. Cause we all need breaks. And eating unhealthy foods to take care of emotional needs in the long run is just going to hurt you. Here are some ideas:</div></div><ul style="font-size: 13px;"><li>read<a data-mce-href="http://womenlivingloudly.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/woman-reading1.jpg" href="http://womenlivingloudly.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/woman-reading1.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-188" data-mce-src="http://womenlivingloudly.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/woman-reading1.jpg?w=200" height="200" src="http://womenlivingloudly.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/woman-reading1.jpg?w=200" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; float: right;" title="woman reading" width="133" /></a></li>

Well here we are just hours before the highly anticipated town celebration begins. BBQ Days is in its 53rd year and I have not been around for NEARLY all of them but for the 20 or so years I have attended, I never remember the first day looking like today. Hopefully Mother Nature is giving us a good soak and will open up blue skies for us soon that will last through Monday morning. But if not, put on your wet suit and make the best of it! I for one would enjoy dancing in the rain - any of my keystone sisters want to join me????<br />
<br />
No matter what life throws at you, catch it and make it fun!<br />

<div style="font-size: 13px;">In the book "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind" by T. Harv Eker there is a neat story which goes like this:</div><div style="font-size: 13px;">There was a man who is walking along a cliff and all of a sudden loses his balance, slips and falls off. Fortunately, he has the presence of mind to grab on to the ledge, and he's hanging there for dear life. He hangs and hangs and finally yells out, "Is there anybody up there who can help me?" There's no answer. He keeps calling and calling, "Is there any body up there who can help me?" Finally this big bellowing voice calls back, "This is God. I can help you. Just let go and trust." Next thing you hear: "Is there anybody <em>else</em> up there who can help me?"</div><div style="font-size: 13px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 13px;">Lesson of the story according to T. Harv Eker is that if you want to move to a higher level of life, you have to be willing to let go of some of your old ways of thinking. I would take it a step farther and add that if you believe that there is only one way to accomplish something, you miss out on other options or routes. If you believe the only way to survive is to climb up or have someone pull you up from the top you miss other opportunities such as an exhilarating dive into the water below.</div><div style="font-size: 13px;"><br />

<div data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">I was sent this from a former client. Being that I'm a hypnotist, I enjoy a good hypnotist joke. I have to say that I was feeling a little left out, cause it seemed that lawyers were getting all the jokes! If anyone else knows any good jokes, please send them my way. Laughter really is the best medicine.</div><div data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 13px;"><span data-mce-style="color: #333399;" style="color: #333399;">It was entertainment night at the Old Folks Home.</span></div><div style="font-size: 13px;"><img alt="" class="size-medium wp-image-144 alignright" data-mce-src="http://womenlivingloudly.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/pocket-watch.jpg?w=300" height="203" src="http://womenlivingloudly.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/pocket-watch.jpg?w=300" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; float: right; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" title="pocket watch" width="270" /></div><div style="font-size: 13px;"><span data-mce-style="color: #333399;" style="color: #333399;">Claude the hypnotist exclaimed: 'I'm here to put you into a trance; I intend to hypnotize each and every member of the audience.' </span><br />
<span data-mce-style="color: #333399;" style="color: #333399;">The excitement was almost electric as Claude withdrew a beautiful antique pocket watch from his coat. 'I want each</span></div><div style="font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" data-mce-style="color: #333399;" style="color: #333399;"> of you to keep your eye on this antique watch. It's a very special watch.. It's been in my family for six generations.' He began to swing the watch gently back and forth while quietly chanting:</span></div><div style="font-size: 13px;"><span data-mce-style="color: #333399;" style="color: #333399;">'Watch the watch, watch the watch, and watch the watch...'</span></div><div style="font-size: 13px;"><span data-mce-style="color: #333399;" style="color: #333399;">The crowd became mesmerized as the watch swayed back and forth, light gleaming off its polished surface. Hundreds of pairs of eyes followed the swaying watch, until, suddenly, it slipped from the hypnotist's finger </span><br />
<span data-mce-style="color: #333399;" style="color: #333399;">And fell to the floor, shattering into a hundred pieces.</span></div><div style="font-size: 13px;"><span data-mce-style="color: #333399;" style="color: #333399;">'SHIT!' said the Hypnotist.</span><br />

The rain came down hard, but only for a short while and then the sky was full of sunshine and for a while, a rainbow made a grand appearance. Unfortunately I was not able to take a picture of the rainbow. Today we are blessed with yet another amazing day, and I hope you all get to enjoy it!<br />
Farmers Market today 3-6 pm!<br />

I also did get some pictures from the Jordan Art Festival, but I am a few days behind Dawn-Marie. I do wish she would have been there when I was getting these pictures. She worked very hard setting up our booth and making all the signs. So a huge Thank You to Dawn-Marie!<br />

What a gift you have given us today. I hate to say I told you so, but back on April 20, I did tell you all that Mother Nature promised me she had a beautiful summer in store for us! I hope you get to enjoy some of the day - take a quick walk on your lunch hour or better yet, stop by the farmers market on your way home. We are open 4 to 7 today at Court Square Park. Along with the beautiful sun comes plenty of fresh produce. Last weeks strawberries were a wonderful treat - get them while they are in their prime!<br />
<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

<div style="font-size: 13px;">The definition of Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results.</div><div style="font-size: 13px;">In the case of weight loss there are definitely some insane people out there. They try the same type of diet over and over again but expect this time to be different. Something's gotta change. When most people try and lose weight they either focus on diet or exercise. But fail to address the cause of the weight issue.... our emotional health. It's the biggest weight loss secret out there.</div><div style="font-size: 13px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 13px;">You don't lose weight by restricting your food or exercising for hours a day. Well, let me rephrase that... you can lose weight, but you won't keep it off because you can't keep with that restrictive diet or that kind of exercise program for long. And what happens when that diet or exercise program is over? You get back to your old habits and gain all the weight back, plus some. Only by addressing your emotional health and taking care of you mental and spiritual wellbeing will you lose weight and keep it off.</div><div style="font-size: 13px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 13px;">Think of it like this... Weight, is just a symptom of a much deeper issue. Take care of yourself, get your emotional and spiritual needs met and get on a healthy eating plan (note that I didn't say diet, it shouldn't be restrictive), and be active, the weight will come off.

Somehow my camera kept switching settings, and half of my photos were too dark to bother uploading, so some of the members and their displays aren't shown.<br />

I know the weather is not the best, but our dedicated vendors are there rain or shine with wonderful fresh produce, baked goods and more. Today is our monthly bake-off. To participate, simply make something using STRAWBERRIES, bring it to the market and let the judges savor the flavor! You just may walk away with a prize. The Farmers Market is in it's third season and is off to a wonderful start. There is nothing better then purchasing local, home grown produce right from the hands of the grower. The Market provides a family friendly enviornment with a park and dinner for purchase so you don't even have to cook on Wednesday nights! Tonight, the mission trip participants from St. John Lutheran School will be cooking up walking tacos and more. Make Wednesday nights "market night" for you and your family. <br />
<br />
Enjoy the day ~ Hope to see you at the Market!<br />

The word BITCH has a very negative meaning, meant to degrade and disrespect women for being strong and assertive. I have a new definition of BITCH that will leave all you beautiful women wondering where you can sign up. BITCH is a compliment. I am starting a movement and I need all you women to join me. Invite all your moms, sister and friends to participate. Here is my definition of <span data-mce-style="color: #993300;" style="color: #993300;">BITCH</span>:<br />
<br />
A BITCH is <span data-mce-style="color: #993300;" style="color: #993300;"><strong>B</strong></span>old - She lives an authentic life and lives it loudly. Following her passions and dreams.<br />
A BITCH is <span data-mce-style="color: #993300;" style="color: #993300;"><strong>I</strong></span>ntuitive - She trusts in her feelings and listens to her own inner guidance.<br />
A BITCH is <span data-mce-style="color: #993300;" style="color: #993300;"><strong>T</strong></span>ough - She goes after what she wants and doesn’t accept “no” for an answer.<br />
A BITCH is <span data-mce-style="color: #993300;" style="color: #993300;"><strong>C</strong></span>ourageous - She can feel fear but do what she feels she needs to do anyways.<br />
A BITCH is a <span data-mce-style="color: #993300;" style="color: #993300;"><strong>H</strong></span>eroine in her own life - She know it is her responsibility and right to live the life of her dreams. and she makes herself a priority.<br />
<br />
Many women, are scared to assert themselves, or go after what they want, cause they're afraid of being a bitch. Well, one way to get rid of that fear is to actually make being a BITCH a goal. It's a goal to be bold, intuitive, tough, courageous and a heroine in her own life. It's harder to fear something you truly want. Being a bitch is not a put down, it's a compliment.<br />
<br />
Being a BITCH is <span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>not</em></span> about being aggressive, rather it's about being assertive.<br />
Being a BITCH is <span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>not</em></span> about being selfish, but rather about making yourself one of your priorities.<br />
<br />
Who doesn't want that? So all you women out there who want to make a new commitment to yourself to be a BITCH, Leave a comment and simply state "my name is ______, and I'm a BITCH"<br />
<br />
Check out my website, <a href="http://www.calmwatershypnosis.com/">www.calmwatershypnosis.com </a> for more information on my BITCHes Empowered program and the availability of individual and group sessions.<br />
<br />
Have a beautiful day BITCHes,<br />

<div style="font-size: 13px;">I am sooo excited!!!! Last night was the first weight loss support group for my previous weight loss clients. It always bothered me that after the one on one sessions were completed, my clients were pretty much on their own unless they were able to continue sessions. Weight loss is a journey and more often than not, it's not completed in the 5 weeks that we worked together. So I made available a support group. We meet once a month and I think it will be invaluable for the continued success of my clients. It's a way to help my clients continue to be focused on their goal of weight loss, and I'm so happy that I get to continue to be a part of that with them.</div><div style="font-size: 13px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 13px;">It never ceases to amaze me, how strong, beautiful, smart and compassionate women are. As with most people who have struggled with weight, they've tried everything and have so much knowledge that they could probably write a book. They have so much knowledge to share with others who are on the same path but have a hard time seeing in themselves a solution to their struggles. It sometimes takes an outside person to shine that light for them. It's so beneficial having the support and strength of others.</div><div style="font-size: 13px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 13px;">If you are not able to participate in my support group, I would encourage everyone to develop some sort of support system, either from family or friends, coach or counselor, or whomever can inspire you and challenge you to keep fighting to reach your goal.</div><div style="font-size: 13px;"><br />

It helps you live, and it is where we live. I don't like it when people hurt it. I think it is very sad for itself, the people,and the animals in it. like when we have oil spills a lot of animals die because of that. I think that we should be more careful, like if we are going to a close by friend or neighbor we might not have to take a car we could ride a bike or rollerblade. The earth never grows old it stays young and all things in it like mountains, rivers, ponds, plains ext. they are alwase are fun to look at but we are makeing them very dirty and dark, dont like looking at trash in oceans. I wonder how they looked a long time ago, I think they looked GREAT. I hope in a long time we can reduce, reuse, and recycle everything! BYE!<br />

For many people embarking on a weight loss program is given only a thought. One morning they wake up and today is the day, I'm going to lose weight, watch what I eat and exercise. Those are great goals but a little preparation goes a long way. Most people put very little thought into how they are going to lose weight and what lifestyle changes they need to make, and than everyday they monitor their weight and obsess over the weight not coming off fast enough or heaven forbid you have a slip and eat something that wasn't part of the plan.<br />
The ideal way to go about any weight loss program is to start with a detailed plan.<br />
Here are some good questions to ask yourself:<br />
<ul><li>Really figure out how your going to eat healthier.</li>
<li>how often you're going to exercise,</li>
<li>why type of exercises do you want to do,</li>
<li>How long will your work outs be.</li>
<li>what time of day do you feel more like working out</li>
<li>What foods do you want to avoid (than get them out of your home)</li>
<li>What foods do you want to eat more of (make sure your fridge is stocked)</li>
<li>How are you going to handle anger, sadness, boredom etc... (if your an emotional eater)</li>
<li>What are your emotional triggers</li>
<li>Do you have a support system in place (friends, family, coach, support group)</li>
</ul><div>By doing the planning ahead of time, you set yourself up for success. Don't skip the emotional work, that's the most overlooked but in my opinion, most important part of the weight loss process.</div><div>Once a plan is in place, just focus on taking the steps and give up the obsession with the outcome. It will take care of itself. Don't weigh yourself everyday, or even count the calories. Stay in the present moment and know that you're being healthy and doing something good for yourself.</div><div><br />

<br />
During the closing of a yoga class at Mystic Journey "Namaste" is often stated. <br />
For a teacher and student, Namaste allows two individuals to come together energetically to a place of connection and timelessness, free from the bonds of ego-connection. If it is done with deep feeling in the heart and with the mind surrendered, a deep union of spirits can blossom.<br />
To perform Namaste, we place the hands together at the heart chakra, close the eyes, and bow the head. We bring the hands together at the heart chakra to increase the flow of Divine love. Bowing the head and closing the eyes helps the mind surrender to the Divine in the heart.<br />
