Happy Thanksgiving - and Gobble!

This day I thankfully accept all of the good things that are coming my way.  This day is full of excitement, love, energy, health, and prosperity.  This day, people are calling on me to be of service to them and I respond by giving my very best.  This day, I think and practice health in my life, refusing to accept anything less than perfect health.

This day, I accept the abundance and prosperity that is mine and willingly share it with others.  This day, I focus on the moment and give no thought to the past or to the future.  This day, I spend in total enjoyment of what I do. This day, I fill with loving thoughts and actions toward all other people and myself.  This day, I spend in grateful appreciation of all that is mine.  This day, this hour, this minute, this moment is all that I have and I choose to use it in celebration.

From the best selling book Shut Up, Stop Whining and Get a Life by Larry Winget

Wishing you the joy of family, friends, and giving thanks on this Thanksgiving Holiday. Take personal responsibility for everything you are thankful for in addition to knowing you, and only you, control your destiny.  Marsha

Practical approaches to age old challenges of Toxic People

I write and speak on difficult people and toxic people. But I must say, the majority of folks in life are just terrific. Specifically I want to mention Tricia Moody who wrote the following review on my JUST released book, Toxic People.

When I saw the banner on the cover - Decontaminate difficult people at work without using weapons or duct tape - I knew it wasn’t going to be the usual self-help cookbook. The author starts with her strongest statement - these people are out there! And we dodge them. So step one is admitting they are there and it’s our responsibility - not their “fault” - to develop the right strategies to deal with all six types of toxic people - the Steamrollers, the Zipper Lip, the Backstabber, the KNow it all, and Needy Weenie and the Whine and Cheeser! And what great stories and practical advice she shares with us. I hate self-help books, but I am keeping this one! It’s a treasure!” Patricia Moody
Here is the question: do you take time out of your very busy schedule to stop and thank strangers?  Tricia did and I want to thank her for that!  I don’t know her, yet she thoughtfully wrote the review.  I am grateful for her action because it reminds me to do the same — go out of my way to be kind and nice.
