Traffic School "...My fellow violators were raising their hands and asking questions. Their questions were not about traffic safety. They were all excruciatingly long, detailed reports of how each person should not have received a ticket in the first place. “A huge semi blocked my view of the cop who nailed me. How fair is that?” “I got pegged by a speed radar trap. what makes Arizona think that this is an acceptable way to make money?” “I was only going like two miles over the speed limit. You would think they would go after the real criminals!” The “poor me, life is unfair” tirade went on for hours. Everyone who raised their hands to talk had been screwed over by the system. Each person believed they had been victimized in one way or another. I began to feel sorry for the instructor. How many times had this poor man been subjected to this parade of delusional casualties?..."Join me for a live discussion about the concept of victimization.

Morning Has Broken “...We live in a world of duality. To a large extent, this is one of the primary reasons we choose to spend a lifetime(s) in this world. It is easy to forget this reality when difficulties surface. When things are tough we can easily get pulled into “suffering over our own suffering.”* Behind opportunity is often challenge. When we are lucky, there will be times when we are very unlucky. “Good” and “bad” co-exist, but how we choose to view these experiences are ultimately subjective. While for the most part I am very healthy, I got hit with the flu in early February. I seem to get the flu about every 6-7 years. I guess it was “time,” but when it hit me like a tornado on a Saturday night it truly was horrible. It ended up becoming bronchitis, and while I never went to a regular doctor, it is likely that I had a touch of pneumonia...” Join me for a descussion about the added benefits to overcoming any of lifes difficulties.

Live column read and discussion, so I will not be taking live calls for mini readings on todays show. Todays show: Excessive Striving Excessive striving is not uncommon for people who have some impatience embedded in their wiring. Impatience is one of seven fears (chief negative features*) Impatience centers around a fear of being victimized by time. We tend to get intolerant of the way others do, or don’t do things and we often get annoyed with ourselves as well! In numerology we often see this tendency in people who have the number 8 prominently in their charts. The inner voice pushes at us to feel guilty if we are not doing enough. It’s like having an internal lion tamer and whip as a motivator. It often originates from familial or cultural influences, but needs no outer prompt when we become an adult because it is now firmly imbedded inside. Yet, often excessive striving is not a good thing. We can get caught in the unhealthy trap of trying to do too much...Join me for a live colimn read and discussion about how we can get caught in the trap of trying to do too much!

Todays show: Snake Oil/A Good Reading Finding a good reader/psychic/healer is not always an easy task. In many respects it is not unlike finding an expert in any field. We can hire a contractor to do work on our home and get someone who does a lousy job. We might find a doctor or other healer who ends up doing more harm than good. We may get grossly overcharged from a car mechanic or any type of repair person. The list of potential unqualified people we can hire to do work for us, is often equal to the amazing people we may find in contrast. Thankfully in this modern age, there are websites that can help us choose more wisely by checking out other’s reviews. We can ask friends for referrals and also find talented people with genuine skills if we are willing to do some research.

Revenge of the Birds: “I remember seeing the Alfred Hitchcock classic the Birds when I was about twelve. The scene where an unnerving amount of birds are flocking around one of the main characters in the background was truly ominous. In this scene Tippi Hedren is actually attacked by birds and it’s terrifying. A master of suspense the director brings up the scary possibility of nature actually turning against us while it was a brilliant idea and in all practically highly unlikely it still made us think about what could happen if we abuse nature and take it for granted. What if animals/nature turned against us? We had a cat when I was around that age in addition to our usual full house of three dogs. He was an inside cat, but he spent a lot of time outside by choice. Our cat and dogs absolutely never fought each other like cats and dogs were supposed to do...”
