Many men feel the need to always be right in relationships, which can often lead to communication breakdowns and conflict. Once in a relationship, it's no longer about “you vs. me,” but rather about “us,” requiring mutual respect and honoring each other's feelings. Matthew Hoffman emphasizes avoiding known “landmines” in relationships—like repeatedly doing things that upset your partner—and deciding if a conflict is worth escalating. Jeremy Roadruck encourages men to stop settling for “good enough” relationships and to view communication as a toolset, like fitness routines or income streams, with multiple ways to approach and resolve issues. Asking for clarification and creating a “feedback loop” are vital tools for building strong, healthy relationships. Tina Huggins notes that women, particularly those with past marriages, may also feel the need to be right to prevent repeating past mistakes, adding another layer of complexity to modern relationships.   Watch the video here to learn more from Matthew P. Hoffman, Jeremy Roadruck and Tina Huggins https://www.youtube.com/live/RF95jebAV18?si=96QVx3flGJuIknvq To read Jeremy Roadruck's newest book, Lead Like a King: The Proven Roadmap to a Stronger Marriage, Deeper Connections, and Unstoppable Leadership, delivers a proven system to turn respect, admiration, and connection into a natural way of life.

OK Boomers we all know that we have been stumped by a certain new technology or that dreaded UPDATE to our Mac, any laptop, iPad.. Arba Cooper's motto is EMPOWERING BABY BOOMERS to BOOST BUSINESS. Let me introduce Digital Technologist Arba Cooper When Arba and I first met, Arba mentioned that she and her husband have a five year plan to buy a large property for "year round training and lodging."  As the former La Chatelaine of Le Petit Chateau inn, I was silently screaming DON'T DO IT… However.. they have their ideas firmly grounded in the training aspect.  That is a vital and key aspect of anyone with ambitions to start this beast (LODGING) of a project.  We eventually transitioned to current topics.. our different businesses.  I learned that Arba has a wealth of training information, talent, and practical experience as a trainer and website designer: seven years as a SCORE volunteer and engineer with Hewlett Packard.   https://arbacooper.com/home Here is a great link to learn more about Arba Cooper.  Foremost, today Arba Cooper focuses her Digital Technology practice on the Baby Boomers who are SOLOPRENEURS.  She focuses on their ability to learn what they need in technology for their businesses to succeed for their day to day functions. She teaches them how to use the technology that they can operate, use and manage on their own. She is not selling them a Ferrari.  More akin to a subaru and in the drivers seat, not the passenger seat. For instance, the technology hype is to create funnels or a huge email marketing program because that is what all the hype is about.” Oh you gotta have a funnel sales system”. Oh you gotta have an email marketing program”.  Both of these hypes are expensive and I know first hand as I was using KAJABI for $149 a month.   I was completely overwhelmed and not using any of these “ MUST HAVE” business applications. What I find so refreshing about Arba is her ability to help SOLOPRENEURS gain the technology that they can learn and manage without all the expensive and largely unused applications because “everyone else says “ ya gotta have this”. Her wide range of skills include web design, technology training, speaking, and acting. Arba has helped numerous entrepreneurs successfully launch and expand their businesses. Her unique skill is simplifying complex marketing concepts, making resources accessible, and easy to understand.  https://arbacooper.com/home   Kundalini Yoga REMOVING EMOTIONAL FATIGUE and FEAR OF the FUTURE https://youtu.be/XKkrT8TFnVE?feature=shared   Wine and Food  Bubbles - most women like bubbles .  Gruet from New Mexico is still one  of the best WINE   the best value and quality TRY GRUET ROSE NV Brut Rosé $17.00   CONACT Valerie Hail valerie@allinourminds.com www.allinourminds.com

MOM'S UNDER STRESS BEST GIFTS For this Mother's Day give your mom the gift of serenity, calmness and peace for her Spring Rejuvenation day. I got this idea from a conversation with Kari Warberg Block who recently relinquished her CEO responsibilities to a new hire, the CEO for EARTHKIND.  KARI is the FOUNDER and ( was CEO) of EARTHKIND. ( READ MORE about her progressive NON POISONOUS Rodent product here.) https://www.kariwarbergblock.com/forging-new-paths-embracing-change-one-step-at-a-time/ One of the first steps that Kari took in relinquishing the CEO position was to rejuvenate herself.  Which is what this podcast is about to give my listeners ideas to help your mom enjoy serenity, peace and calmness on her special day.  As her transition to being the rejuvenated Kari, mom, grandmother, wife “new adventure woman”, she  took an intense, all natural cleansing treatment at Optimum Health in Austin,Texas  https://www.optimumhealth.org/ohi-austin The focus is how to bring a balance in your life by eating clean food.  Kari says..“The food, 100% raw and plant-based, was absolutely delicious. Even the seven days of juice fasting—spread across the three weeks—wasn't as hard as I imagined. After the initial adjustment, I wasn't hungry, and my energy skyrocketed.” If the raw food vegetables might be too much for mom ..here are some suggestions using all ORGANIC products: For the breakfast or brunch in bed: organic strawberry's topped on  organic plain yogurt, sprinkled with almonds, drizzled with local honey.  Next a Brunch : grilled peasant bread, a slather of her favorite condiment, smashed avocado or HUMMUS.  I like arugula to add flavor and color to the plate and the bread, organic cherry tomatoes for color and flavor.  Why not add some festive bubbles: GRUET or non alcoholic sparking apple cider.  Very festive. If a NATURAL setting appeals to her more, take her to a beautiful park with serene surroundings, a picnic lunch for ONE, and take her cell phone away. Last idea:   buy her a DO IT YOURSELF spa treatment at home. Everyone leaves the house for hours and let her have peace and quiet at home. I tribute all these ideas to Kari as she gave me the inspiration for a peaceful, serene and calm Mother's Day when we had a nice talk about her own steps she is taking for her new life transition .

AT OUR AGE AN ADVENTURE IN TANZANIA AT 70   A good friend in Gulfport, Florida recently took an adventurous trip to Tanzania in celebration of her soon to be 70th birthday. Christine shares that they experienced the flora, cuisine  and the  beasts UP CLOSE.   They also volunteered at a preschool kindergarten to teach the kids as part of their cultural experience.  At PPSARE, their mission is to share Tanzania's national parks with visitors and tourists and  to give the clients a taste of Tanzanian culture and lifestyle.  PPSAE Wildlife Safaris | a | P.O,Box 476 Usarver,Arusha https://www.ppsarewildlife.com/Tanzania is home to 120 different tribes who live together peacefully. Christine enjoyed an authentic safari adventure, developed a better understanding of Tanzania's rich, multi-cultural society. According to Christine, all the tour guides share a passion for the environment. They invite every adventurer to plant a fruit tree or watershed tree at the conclusion of each tour. Giving back to Tanzania's community and country is one of their greatest joys. One of the ways they do this is by being a mentor to others in their country who would like to create a micro-enterprise in Safari/Cultural tourism.  They also give back through my direct association with an NGO (NPO) called The Small Things.  Yoga, Meditations to Balance Yourself Here is the BEST link for JSJ: (JIN SHIN JYUTSU) HealthKeepersUnited.com/Self-help-JSJ *** Patti Wohlin is another woman of a certain age teaching us Jin Shin JYUTSU WINE and Food NEW MEXICO HAS IT ALL and I'll be sharing more with you all as I just relocated my business here!  La Chiripada Winery & Vineyard is tucked away in the lovely Embudo Valley of northern New Mexico.

  Amberly Shreve is an admirable example of a woman entrepreneur,  moving from the corporate world to managing her own work schedule with an organization known for spreading gratitude and kindness in business relationships. She is now known as Business Gratitude Consultant Amberly designed greeting cards as a young lady which led her to the PROMPTINGS organization. I am a big believer in Side hustles, alternative gigs  and affiliate marketing to making more money for yourself.  Now more than ever, it's important that we don't rely solely on the corporate world for our livelihood. One such person is Amberly Shreve. After thirty years in the corporate world as a business communications and office management expert, she left to devote her experience to share gratitude with the world and teaching kindness in business relationships.   This desire and her young designer of greeting cardsexperience  led her to the PROMPTINGS organization.  These greeting cards are an online business that states on the website “How do you act on promptings? By sharing GRATITUDE. I love this idea of online GRATITUDE  cards, journals and note cards. She is a business communication specialist and consultant with Promptings, an organization that builds meaningful relationships adding value to to their clients… simply by using their online card system.  I am a person who loves cards that designate GRATITUDE  . When I was a “ student” of Mary Morrissey's Brave Thinking Master's program, she sent us twelve beautiful oversized GRATITUDE CARDS. Each had a slightly different GRATITUDE quote, very short and simple. And here I met a new  source in Amberly Shreve, where I can send these GRATITUDE CARDS online to my clients and friends. Another bonus for sharing and sending these cards, journals, gifts is that you can contact Amberly to learn more about affiliate opportunities that lead to a side hustle without leaving your home to increase your income. Stay at home dads- this a great opportunity for you also.  Links to the company and her cell 302-858-3843 https://www.promptings.com/beta-preview/ https://www.promptings.com/?sponsor= Yoga, Meditations to Balance Yourself Here is the BEST link for JSJ: HealthKeepersUnited.com/Self-help-JSJ WINE and Food NEW MEXICO HAS IT ALL and I'll be sharing more with you all as I just relocated my business here!   https://www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/article/new-mexico-unexpected-wine-country Contact VALERIE producer creator  valerie@allinourminds.com www.allinourminds.com

Meaning that no ones feelings are wrong. 2) Are you interested in being RIGHT or having a healthy relationship? 3) Take ownership of the issues- which would sound like “I don't like what you are saying"      This is timeless information .

TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS VERUS TURBULENT TIMES   One thing I know right now, if you are in an abusive , toxic relationship.. men or women.. you do NOT need this, nor do you  deserve this.  There are solutions.  I know that there is a lot of anger in our country right now and has been for a long while.  That is the elephant in the room.   When I met Tina Huggins at a business event, I was struck by her consulting, coaching service.  Noting in my mind, this is a must needed service for several reasons.  (Side note she is NOT a therapist.. I was in therapy off and on for thirty years as I wanted to prevent myself becoming like my alcoholic mom). Tina's background provides her with experience and advanced training as someone who has experienced trauma in her own marriage.  She is trained in martial arts and her specialized training in certification as a divorce coach specialist. I am including the video where she and her “ new” husband discuss their experiences.   The perspective of MEN experiencing physical and financial abuse is eye opening and must be heeded.

  Three Tips for HACKING UNCERTAINTY in Turbulent Times: Find the right people who understand the "controllables." Find people who are trailblazers Find people who help others:  Chris Krimitsos is someone who kicks butt even in Turbulent Times: He has an amazing capacity for change which is one of three great truths that Price Pritchett shares in his book Quantum Leap Strategies.  Chris exudes the true Renaissance man in that he leads others to successful paths, leadership and other life skills simply by extending a helping hand.  He is well known for his amazing explosion into the Podcasting world creating PODFEST (TM) EXPO the annual Orlando, FL, conference.  Furthermore, he has now taken it internationally to Asia in 2024 and beyond. https://podfestexpo.com I have been a speaker and a volunteer for Podfest beginning virtually in 2020 continuing to 2025.  Conferences can be overwhelming.  Yet I feel Chris has surrounded himself with talented people who carry his visions for an awe-inspiring event for creators, exhibitors and attendees.   This year, Chris asked the PODFEST EXPO attendees to design the conference's T-shirts.  ( I told him that I wanted to create one with stick figures.) He responded: " DO IT" And that's the kind of person he is.. ( I didnt do it..but maybe next year.)    Chris exemplifies Price Pritchett's other concept of YOU2 (You squared) in that he chooses to take the road less travelled.  He is not afraid of failure, or missteps when taking the path of uncertainty.    His belief in the concept that one's desires are actually easier to achieve with different thinking rather than trying harder and getting the same old results.   The ABILITY TO HACK UNCERTAINTY leads to that road where dreams become reality. This choice of “ it can be easy” is due to his ability to be relentless in pursuit of a dream. Chris is someone who is always open to and takes Quantum Leaps.  Price Pritchett teaches us that a quantum leap is a move that is ours for the taking. Right now. It's a giant step you can make merely by deciding to do it,  which opens you up to resources.  Taking PODFEST to ASIA was absolutely a QUANTUM LEAP. REMEMBER… we all need a sense of direction, to be focused on our end result.  Chris Krimitsos is very much blazing that trail. His success is being in the present. Oh and there is his PODTOUR around the United States and Canada..   to be continued next podcast...   Meditations for Turbulent Times Jin Shin Jyutsu Jin Shin Jyutsu® is a gentle and nurturing healing art that helps restore balance and harmony by using light touch on specific energy points along the body.

AT OUR AGE: Kick butt WOMEN AUTHORS I am always thrilled when I find women who are bucking the system in their 60's and older. I feel this way because two women, Rosalind Severin McClean and Patt O'Neil are very different writers.  Yet they are women of a certain age in their 60's and seventies.  They have chosen the literary paths to share tales, poetry, idea.  In turn they show the world that us seniors still have a lot to offer. Ms. McClean has four titles of note: OCEANS of THOUGHTS Book one, Two and Three. Her latest publicatio, Book Four, is a charming and adventurous children's book: The Little Pianist.  The illustrations are colorful, eye-catching and will keep the attention of toddlers to young readers. Perfect holiday gift and the family can help read along to the young children . At first glance, one would think that Patt O'Neil's genre is Westerns.  Not so. She has a natural talent for story telling. Taking us to places as varied as Venice and Cornwall, readers get a flavor of intrigues and mystery. Her two recent works are collections of short stories: TWO SIDES of the SAME COIN: In-between stories of SHERLOCK HOLMES and John WATSON.  Two Sides of the Same Coin: In-between stories of Sherlock Holmes and John H. Watson: O'Neil, P. A.: 9798859789276: Amazon.com: Books https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJLLK862 TALES OF THE SOUTHWEST is set in an epic genre from the 1880's to present day. Readers will taste the difference between water starved deserts, steep canyons unforgiving heat and as Patt O'Neil told me, people share the traits of moving through challenges, issues and problems until they all resolve in their best manner.  Such is the storyteller Patt O'Neil taking us into the depths of imagination, strife and history Tales of the Southwest - Kindle edition by Green, John Franklin, O'Neil, P.A., Pyles, James, Balcom, Gabriella, Crowley, Jay, Hartshorn, Edward C..

HOW TO BUILD A STRONG COMMUNITY: Why build a neighborhood community: 1.Learn History form others - build diversity, 2.Listen to true LIFE LESSONS: 3.GAIN SUPPORT FROM OTHERS Learning history from others can be eye opening.  We are facing book banning, news coverage that manipulates us.. however… history happened to people who can tell you what they witnessed. They can also tell you their experiences.  No alternative facts either.. For instance: The incredible pilot Captain Chesley, (Sully) who landed the Airbus A320on the Hudson River.  I lived in NY when this happened. In 1965 When the former John Lewis, famous civil rights leader, marched across the Bridge to Montgomery for Voting Rights.  When you build a diverse community- you can hear first hand these amazing events from people who were there. Listening to true life lessons.. have you ever listened to immigrants or the elderly tell their stories of how they came to America to create a better Life? Where I used to live in Croton on Hudson, IMMIGRANTS  built the Croton Reservoir (ITALIANS mostly).  That Croton Reservoir supplies fresh water to New York City.. Or How the MIKATO INN was built for the silent film stars from NYC by the Japanese.  This was built by the Japanese and the silent film stars would come there to perform and vacation. ( I lived in this “now renovated into apartments” Mikado inn..   Gain Support from your neighbors.  It's important to get to know your neighbors.  For instance,   I bike everywhere now, throughout my neighborhood to shop, work.  Three of my neighbors are always telling me they will gladly give me a RIDE when it is bad weather or whenever I want a lift.  More importantly, let's just check in with each other!  Captain Chesley.

Lessons from the Monarch Butterfly   Recently I learned in an accidental “experiment”, how to increase the birth and release of Monarchs by twenty times the usual low number.  I have a Monarch butterfly garden at our GULFPORT COMMUNITY GARDEN for three years.  The "birth rate" has only been a few butterfies. Amazingly, though, here are two lessons that you can glean from this incident with a new volunteer fellow gardener: First: Don't let anyone tell you that you are WRONG especially when they first meet you!  Trust in your OWN RESEARCH AND EXPERTS. Second: When working with MOTHER NATURE'S CREATIONS, if you DISCOVER  a better way to IMPROVE the lives and habitat of an endangered species, SHARE your discovery with others… Listen to the podcast for the backstory.  Kundalini  yoga:  feel your abundance- this is a cool yoga class for ABUNDANCE.. you must have an orange!!

AT OUR AGE: disrupting the pharmaceutical  “Shockingly, in the USA, it's not unusual for disadvantaged populations to suffer from rampant outbreaks of hookworm. Normally the drug prescribed for hookworm, Albendazole, can cost as much as $500 per course, making the drug out of reach for many in need. So we started off by donating more than 10,000 tablets of Albendazole to cure parasitic infections in the most affected areas of the southern US. Our goal is to dramatically reduce the cost of drugs like Albendazole, but we also think that it is just as important to introduce transparency to the pricing of drugs so patients know they are getting a fair price.Our cost for Albendazole is $26.08 per course. We mark that price up by 15% so we can continue to run the company and invest in disrupting the pricing of as many drugs as we possibly can.That makes the base price of the drug $30. Then we add on the actual cost, $5.00, that our pharmacy partners charge us to prepare and provide your prescription to you. https://v2.costplusdrugs.com/mission/   GUIDANCE Mark Cuban Cost plus company CREATE ACCOUNT HERE https://v2.costplusdrugs.com/mission/   ADVENTURE  ADVENTURE AXS TV is a leading television, streaming, digital, and social music and entertainment brand owned and operated by Anthem Sports & Entertainment, Inc https://axs.tv/   DISCOVER ALYSSA'S COOKIES:  Our goal was to create a cookie that was different from any store bought cookies or bars that are mostly dry and loaded with unwanted ingredients https://alyssascookies.com/ MY FAVORITE THINGS  My online Fear of Public speaking Course Sample class and book  a class here Get Rid of Enemy Words, those dreaded FILLER WORDS  https://bit.ly/3ZB2muG https://calendly.com/vahail1956/30min valerie@allinourminds.com  

Have you ever experienced an UNEXPECTED ACT OF KINDNESS?   Most of us have .. however.. I want us to think about acts of kindness in our businesses. Let's consider the possibility of choosing a business because we witnessed an unexpected act of kindness from a potential business.   For example, the Tax Expert whom I am now working with got me interested in choosing her because I witnessed three KIND ACTS during our networking meeting.  Then as we continued to become familiar with each other, she offered services that showed empathy in my Capital Gains Tax Situation:   I saw that Sheree White interacted with others in our networking group with focused listening and attention to what each member expressed, 2) She offered me flexible payment plans without pain to her or my cash flow, 3) She showed empathy and understanding of my anxiety and fear of owing the IRS so much money. 4) She reassured me that the situation can be rectified.

Allow me to share my story of being saved by a technology QUEEN Here is one the most important aspects of SUZAN MYRTLE'S company, STUDIODOG: “If you are unhappy for any reason, please contact us and we will make it right. It's that simple.” https://studiodog Unsung heroines in technology such as website creation,  marketing websites (seo), website hosting  etc:  WOMEN in this kind of technology are rare. I had a recent experience where I was being “ taken to the cleaners” by a creative company designing my new company logo and website. I realized I needed to move my business to someone I knew and trusted for twenty years. Studiodog was my choice.  Owned by Suzan Myrtle, she  is one of the most creative, responsive and honest people and companies that I have partnered with in my former business,  Le PETIT CHATEAU INN. That business became a destination travel lodging because of the consistent professionalism of StudioDog. The beautiful website  and consistent expertise was constantly applauded by guests.  When you visit Studiodog's  website and see the vast array of website designs for hundreds of different businesses, you know you are in the right place. StudioDog's representation runs the gamut of association websites to wedding websites. Lesson learned : Work with a company that has longevity  Do more than scratch the surface when you receive a referral.  The previous website company was more interested in over charging me....That company  was not concerned about my satisfaction  Kundalini yoga-  K Yoga feel your abundance- this is a cool yoga class for ABUNDANCE.. you must have an orange!! https://youtu.be/jRegtSKAZDI?si=mbASBNtFRB8fLBO0 WINE: -  GLENELLY Congratulations to a ninety nine years of age chatelaine for writing “My Journey with Wine” by May de Lencquesaing My Journey with Wine tells the exceptional story of a woman whose destiny was to lead her from a life in a chateau to a garrison in the Midwest, from Bordeaux to Beijing, from the wine estates of Médoc to the Cape vineyards of South Africa.

That transaction of selling the first house will trigger a capital gain tax.  And it can be wicked. At Our Age… we are downsizing and selling our stuff: Our primary residence, vacation rentals, rental properties.  Possibly renting now or moving into a condo with no maintenance. I am experiencing the shock, actually, of realizing a huge Capital Gain Tax from owning rental properties and an inn for twenty two years in new York.  I am sharing the journey with folks as I believe a lot of folks do not prepare for this large taxable event. My personal advice is to know this :  you can only deduct the last three years of improvements before the sale.  Therefore keep really good records of any improvements and other deductions that will lessen the Capital Gains Tax.  I am now working with a TAX EXPERT ( Sheree White) because the accountants did not know how to work with Capital Gains Tax. She is also an IRS enrolled agent which makes her qualified to manage the issues.  Moreover.. SHE TALKS TO THE IRS so you don't have to be on the phone with them for hours.

HACKING UNCERTAINTY   When something bad happens it doesn't mean it will harm us “NOT EVERYTHING THAT IS BAD COMES TO HURT US” Italian proverb   How do we deal with with uncertainty?   We ignore it, we run from it we actually try to control it.   However we can never manage uncertainty.That's like managing time.   Only our tasks can be controlled with time as the same with uncertainty, meaning we manage our selves in uncertain times    Three steps to take:    1)Your attitude   2)Your response to “ catastrophic “ situations. Don't REACT.

Unique Baseball Plays, Unlikely Partners This is not what you think.. I am showing unique baseball plays because I really do appreciate the athletic prowess, the humor and camaraderie of fans and the teams..  and sometimes the utmost impossible plays of the teams in the outfield.  This time it's about unusual alliances in sportsmanlike conduct:  Such as SAVANNAH BANANAS https://youtube.com/shorts/IuGJVN2aFrY?si=W43QQVxwtZzur2gP And this video is  of one the fans, outfielders, just good stuff https://youtube.com/shorts/_eW0ShNZWfg?si=YId_HGsu0_Vbs7-w As to Unlikely Partners… FARM SANCTUARY - The founder of FARM SANCTUARY, Gene Bauer, found Hilda, a sheep,  discarded on a pile of dead animals at a Pennsylvania stockyard. Hilda appeared lifeless. She was so weak that she could barely lift her head to see who had come to her rescue. I feature Farm Sanctuary rather than my usual ROMANCE segue from baseball because this segment is a story about an unusual non- profit that rescues FARM ANIMALS from certain cruelty and gruesome deaths..I know the world will never stop eating processed animals.. however… if this nonprofit can enlighten a few people about the farm animals being rescued from a cruel life, perhaps you'll consider donating to FARM SANTUARY.  There is no need for farm animals to experience a horrifying death or live their daily existence under inhumane conditions.  Farm Sanctuary | We Envision a World Where Sanctuary Replaces Exploitation https://www.farmsanctuary.org/ The FARM SANCTUARY IS GOOD STUFF..My idea is to help people become AWARE that FARM animals experience a new kind of love in this environment. The unlikely partnership between humans and these farm animals is now  being shared with others throughtout the U.S.Folks who never gave a thought to how their “protein” came to their plate can become aware that dignity and humane treatment belongs to all of us.  Even farm animals. https://linktr.ee/farmsanctuary   Kundalini yoga ANGER MANAGEMENT  https://youtu.be/ckO8aCA5HQw?feature=shared WINE  - congratulations to a ninety nine years of age chatelaine for writing “My Journey with Wine” by May de Lencquesaing.  My Journey with Wine tells the exceptional story of a woman whose destiny was to lead her from a life in a chateau to a garrison in the Midwest, from Bordeaux to Beijing, from the wine estates of Médoc to the Cape vineyards of South Africa. May-Eliane de Lencquesaing, now 99, comes from an ancient line of Bordeaux wine-growers and brokers and an Anglo-Spanish family from the Philippines.

Baseball Ejections, Romantic Rejections   The crazy umpires and their constant ejections all point to a power play, anger out of control. It sets a tone for the game and it isn't a fun sport any longer when you watch these men eject players and coaches.  In one instant the umpire ejected the coach before the game even started.   https://youtu.be/kVoxJLRBsOI?si=0LJMWP1LWkSvKFL_   What's to be done..  Read some of the comments on this video because there are some good points.  I think the biggest issue is to limit the power of these umps because it really is getting out of control . Honestly… these umpires need a therapist to help them with their anger issues… Choose another emotion for goodness sake… As in control of anger, first, learn to listen, offer solutions..   When it comes to rejections in a relationship most of us react with anger also… some of us storm out as angry umpires, lots of crying most likely and blame ourselves for the rejection. However… being rejected is part of the relationship journey and it isn't easy.   Mat Boggs is a great relationship guru with some pointers on how to build your self confidence after a romantic rejection..  Spoiler —-  this is a bit long so scroll to the part where he talks about writing yourself three letters.  Even that is bit much so shorten it so that his suggestions  fit your mental state.   https://youtube.com/shorts/2d1dUytqPx4?si=-hmV8-WevTQU5lHq   Three suggestions    https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx5n3DzdefHebyFhyGf7ELKhL2yEPSxbeP?si=Kh4y8K2fejYfrs-I     Kundalini yoga ANGER KRIYA 3 minutes — it works.

CLEARING the BENCHES & FAIR FIGHTING  Orioles & Yankees I'm confused as to why the players do this… however when you see these two clips, evidently the NY YANKEES ENJOY hitting their opponents with the ball. Viciously.  When you watch these video you see why the ORIOLES were so riled https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxFTgNUR37ef4NYjrKDICz566liCC1ymma?si=QifaKXZv2eVnc2UN https://youtu.be/05FMlCFNvmI?si=rhtmKeG8c1XnMpP4 https://youtube.com/shorts/Sv4OhMxdDic?si=-GbqlweEaYNuChKz While I realize that it's an impossible task to teach the NY YANKEES how to play fair…lets go over some rules that can apply in everyday CONFRONTATIONS: FAIR FIGHTING: Mat Boggs shares with us the five Relationship Conflict Resolution Techniques.  These are appropriate for our workplace, spouse, significant other - even our children. And the BASEBALL FIELD The first one is name calling. And it sounds like this. "You are so stupid. You are a jerk. What an idiot." (That's toxic. We've all been there.) Either we've learned this when we were growing up, or we have just installed it in our system. One of the ways to stop that is, deep breathing. Ask yourself do you want the drama in your life? No name calling. We want to resolve this. We want this to be a win-win. The second step is labeling.  Don't do that: it's is similar to name calling, but it sounds like this. “You are just like your father. That's why you can't get ahead. Or your behavior is just like the guys you hang out with. You're never going to be anything more than them. You're always going to be a loser.” Yeah, don't do that. Let's not label people.. We've learned that probably at a young age. And we're seeing it a lot in our environment today.Stop name calling, stop labeling, stop the emotional baggage, avoid using these two deadly words in confrontations: ALWAYS, NEVER,   Kundalini Yoga ANGER MANAGEMENT  This is a great exercise to manage and get rid of anger. even kids can do this.. three minutes max: https://youtu.be/ckO8aCA5HQw?feature=shared Wine MOCKTAILS MOCKTAILS Classic cocktails are great, but don't be afraid to play around and invent your own drink!

Baseball, Romance, Announcers,  & Music Baseball has to have the right announcers to be truly enjoyed… their excitement, their tone of voice makes the game more exciting right? I see a lot of  great  baseball plays on YouTube. The announcer always adds an extra thrill to the games.   Baseballs being caught at 100 mph bare handed,  acrobatic leaps and catches, painful slides.. The really good announcers describe these amazing plays with such verve, your imagination ALMOST fills in the actual plays… but not quite.  Because really you want the real action .  Even more importantly, the announcers have to know how to describe each play when they are calling plays because millions do just listen to the game rather than watch it .Vince Scully goes down in History as the best announcer because he could paint that picture of each play.   The baseball announcer is absolute key to the enjoyment and thrill of the game. Here's a great example: https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx0en_jtZtylCexb1M5NVTA7VZ8A3sOpnA?si=rOwQootaS6T8r6X7 MAKING A QUANTUM LEAP to ROMANCE and MUSIC::  romance fits into this lighthearted summer topic AND BILL SCALZITTI informs us that Romance needs the right kind of… MUSIC especially romantic music.  A former musician,  Mr. Scalzitti introduces us to a unique program that teaches us how to create our own boundaries on finding romance: online dating, geographical boundaries, deal breakers.. most importantly discovering your self worth so that you attract the love you deserve.. When you visit the home page look at the middle of the page: Five lines begin with the word IMAGINE… thoughts become things when you use your imagination. https://www.romancebychoice.com/ We all hear about the law of attraction.. UNIVERSAL LAWS.. the law of Vibration is the first law you want to harness.  Bill does just that when you apply his teachings of self discovery for your self worth.  You can learn manifestation through his seven hour audio lesson and the ROMANCE BY CHOICE workbook.

The Negro Leagues, MLB and HALL OF FAME: The Controversy Many of America's most talented ballplayers wrote their legends outside the Majors. Jackie Robinson broke that barrier when he debuted with the Dodgers in 1947, but it would take another 24 years -- and a public plea from Ted Williams -- for the Hall to induct its first Negro League star. This article has a rundown of each of the 35 Negro Leagues stars enshrined in Cooperstown. The inductees are listed in chronological order, beginning with Satchel Paige's landmark election to the Class of 1971. https://www.mlb.com/history/negro-leagues/f Major League Baseball was segregated from 1887 through 1946. The integration of Major League Baseball happened at the beginning of the 1947 MLB season when Jackie Robinson played his first game for the Brooklyn Dodgers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Negro_league_baseball_players_who_played_in_Major_League_Baseball https://youtu.be/01qMbIOA0pk?si=NJfbSrhiMmrpQbKZ   Kundalini Yoga:  Dump your past with this short kriya to get rid of all the regrets, could've, should've, would've : https://youtu.be/HboowUqCidk?feature=shared Wine - South African tribute to GLENELLY.

AT OUR AGE is a special podcast that I create to feature everyday people doing extraordinary projects, having a full lifestyle even in their seventies, eighties and beyond. People who are sixty-five and older are my focus on this special podcast. I highlight people who are active and adventurous: John is the first being interviewed. He plays bacci, tennis, he is our master "composter" at our Gulfport Community Volunteer garden.  He does this and more with eleven grandchildren. Nice one minute interview and you'll never guess his age because he exudes youthful humor and energy. The second interview is with George, our garden resurrectionist.. he rescued our Gulfport community garden that had been neglected.  He has been the "planting orchestrator" for over nine years.  Even more interesting is that he travels to the Western U.S. from May through mid October in his renovated "camper van" that has everything for comfort. He is a fun west coast swing dancer ( I knew him in NY and we had lots of fun dances together), he and his wife still venture to partner dances.  He has begun playing pickleball.

Stories:Baseball Stadiums and Romantic Places Most of us know or have visited COOPERSTOWN, NY the Baseball Hall of Fame.  It is a great place to visit - off the beaten path but surrounded by lush hills and close enough to the Finger Lakes to enjoy NY wine country. I used to be a great batter in the batting cages.  The last time I was there all the balls came out at me at once.  I screamed like a girl. An unusual historical baseball stadium is located there, DOUBLEDAY FIELD. This stadium has been there since 1920. Historically, the annual Hall of Fame Game was held there until 1908. Also noteworthy, FENWAY PARK, located in Boston, home to the Boston Red Sox 1912.  Famous for its tallest stadium wall in the U.S, the GREEN MONSTER,  it's the original WALL. Lastly, WRIGLEY FIELD, located in a neighborhood of Chicago and home to the Chicago Cubs.This location is surrounded by restaurants, bars and residences! The neighbors can watch the game right from their rooftops. https://www.sports-management-degrees.com/lists/5-historical-baseball-stadiums/   Romantic places for me will always be in France.  While most would choose Paris, one really wants to visit the Bordeaux coast seashore…straying into the other areas such as the seaside of Cape Ferret : An Insider Guide to Cap Ferret. https://www.84rooms.com/journal/an-insider-guide-to-cap-ferret Kundalini yoga https://youtu.be/AxefrkDOOY8?feature=shared.    Prosperity and protection  Wine FORLORN HOPE NAPA VALLEY. “ Taken from the Dutch ‘verloren hoop', meaning ‘lost troop', Forlorn Hope was the name given to the band of soldiers who volunteered to lead the charge directly into enemy defenses. “ https://www.forlornhopewines.com/about/ Forlorn Hope wine clubs" "the ultimate rare  creatures", "the menagerie club", the bestiary"   DISCOVER  https://youtu.be/DSP-DVqvT_o?si=SGUS4zGpxL4ODmuY ADVENTURE: https://www.rosalindseverinmcclean.com/ Oceans of Thoughts Book One on Amazon: Rosalind Seveirn McClean, Author GUIDANCE Fear of Public Speaking private courses :  https://bit.ly/3TXbx5L valerie@allinourminds.com @valeriehail56 Merci et Aurevoir

ROMANCE  and BASEBALL:  DREAMS Fulfilled There are certain songs that take us back to our first love encounter, perhaps a summer love or even now if you are blessed with having that special person in your life...Music reminds us of many dreams, which we all want to be fulfilled. Price Pritchett talks about the effect of YOU2 (you squared) : “This is a Quantum Leap strategy, that can deliver those special dreams and ambitions that you instinctively feel should be yours." Even when it comes to one's romance and love life, YOU2 can be followed.  Life changes will happen for what you deserve. (The process its laid out in his classic handbook, YOU2) . When I think of Romance, for my past, I remember listening  to SADE,  https://youtu.be/zwDjJP_l5AY?si=tPKyA8GpE64iqkoR Or songs that have nothing to do with Romance , but make you feel on top of the world, or dancing alone.. here are a few suggestions;  https://youtu.be/k0YFY0CcqjM Bodeans GOOD THINGS  Now Baseball, is the epitome of summer fun and happiness.  The game can also represent dreams fulfilled..so many athletes striving for greatness during their games...  I feel very happy when I watch baseball as do millions of people.. and here's why: many times you get to witness the commaraderie of the team mates, the playful antics, the pranksters..   check this out: https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxZXLfmzMuCBebVzcbiyQCZTQwmaPxInZT?si=SrGz1tHA9rx70AiW The idea  is that we all have hidden gifts, potential assets that go unused.  We  want to open those gifts as Price Pritchett tells us.  Even in Romance and Baseball, there are choices that we make which are life changing.  And that's just it… when it comes to CHANGE, many of us chicken out.  Watch Pritchett's GO BRAVE short clip in the section below under "DISCOVER" KUNDALINI YOGA https://youtu.be/AxefrkDOOY8?feature=shared WINE  Portugal has some of the best undiscovered and value added wines produced.  One of my favorites in a Rose' from the Lagos area, in the Algarve.  And a bargain @ about $15.

Shohei, Taylor, Quantum Leaps: Baseball, Romance, Luck?   I don't usually talk about celebs, however there is a correlation here that I want to make between Shohei, Taylor and Quantum Leaps. Quantum Leaps, according to Price Pritchett lead to explosive results. We all have the capacity for Quantum Leaps.  Pritchett tells us, “ we get in our way” of being open to them. I am using these two celebs as examples because, while they are both young, they have already experienced difficult times, persevered, now laser focused to reach their penultimate.  Here are the takeaways: look at the five closest people you hang out with: are they people who you respect and can support each other in life's path? Stop wasting time on social media, Netflix, etc: Dr.Pritchett tells us that we use only ten% of our potential and waste sixty hours a week on the above.  This summer do something that opens you up to  quantum leaps.

I don't correct them but I can guide them to the ultra difference between Champagne and Prosecco, Cava, Cremants, and America  To clarify, Champagne - true Champagne, not the California illegally labeled champagne,  can only be made in Champagne,  France. Champagne is a specific region with very strict laws governing varietal, aging and production. To call American bubbles,  Champagne is akin to calling all “sneakers” NIKE…   Champagne HOUSES, have a distinct style of their own: the blend of varietals is usually a combination of Chardonnay, Petit Meunier and Pinot Noir.  The HOUSE style never  Never.  It is extremely difficult to produce the exact same flavor profile every year. Champagne by law must be aged at least two years before it is sold publicly. Krug ages their wines for at least five years before their entry level wine is sold.  That is very expensive inventory.   The process of creating a House style is technically challenging as the first fermentation basically prepares the wine for the crucial disgorgement to add the “dosage.” Think of this dosage as a “house secret sauce.” The second fermentation rests and ferments while the Champagne master turns each bottle by hand a quarter of inch. This process is called “ riddling”.  It is labor intensive as each bottle is turned a quarter of an inch by hand. Up to 40,000 bottles a day is common and the  remueur, the riddler, is making certain that the dosage and yeasts are blended into the wine bottle. Today, it is more common to see mechanization of this process by gyropalettes.

  How does Romance begin?  And what does it have to do with Baseball?  For one, don't you think that Romance is akin to a foreign language? I have been studying European Portuguese for over a year and it's the  most difficult language that I am mastering: My French is fine, Italian so-so, Spanish ok…  It is really difficult however, to hear this spoken language.  I believe that this need to understand the spoken language, is similar to understanding the language of ROMANCE.  Our teacher Liz Sharma is young and very funny. She uses movie clips, music and live interviews to teach us via zoom classes: @talkthestreets.  Liz Sharma Here is a clip of where the romance starts in this famous Portuguese film with Colin Firth  (Jamie) and Aurelia (Lúcia Moniz) LOVE ACTUALLY Where the Romance begins… does it begin with this scene where she dives into the lake to rescue Jamie's book as the wind caught the pages?   ..without her clothes on…https://youtu.be/DsugPaXH4kA?si=yxnX4IuwEjsxf-W0 Of course not… it started much sooner when you watch the entire film.. Point being that Romance is similar to learning a language or even baseball because of the nuances … you have to pay attention to the signals.. Just like baseball… bear with me… there are rules that are unwritten in our behavior. Now baseball. … while it's true that you can't break the rules to play fair… there are some players that do bend them a little .

BASEBALL and ROMANCE Baseball for me resembles life in an ironic way.  Take for instance these insane umpires and their ejections of the players.  Many times they are so wrong that it is impossible to comprehend how they keep employed.. We see this in life also: Our companies do some of the most outlandish acts that have nothing to do with the right call for their employees.  The courts are crazy. You name it. This is going to be a happy change though from so much upheaval and turmoil in our world today. Let's celebrate sportsmanlike conduct, crazy plays by the baseball teams and have fun.
