I want to have a business with massage therapy, Reiki/energy healing and other therapies that will help others take...It's Decided:http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/atrichsterstricksneverend/683099During my 8-10 hour drive home for leave, I'm listening to my hypnosis CDs. Maybe some good ideas will come to me during that long drive while I listen to those CDs. Maybe I'll find some understanding. It should be a good drive. I'll be on the road Tuesday.No progress yet.http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/atrichsterstricksneverend/682885There's been too much going on to really work on putting together a plan to stop pulling.

I found one that helps...I'm BAAACK!http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/atrichsterstricksneverend/681505Dear Loyal Readers: I haven't been on here in well over a year, and I decided I want to start writing again.

As...New Developmenthttp://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/atrichsterstricksneverend/629676So over the past month or so I've put facts together and come up with a solution for this picking/pulling problem. The solution? Hypnosis. There's a program called 7th Path [you can research it online] that is basically a virus-removal system for the mind, body, and spirit, and I'm going to use...Two days in to my no-pluck, no-pick challenge.http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/atrichsterstricksneverend/625676It's NOTHING like taking a hiatus from myspace. It's much harder. With myspace, you can keep yourself from signing on [just don't make it your homepage; I had three close calls that way - all I had to do is put in my password and I was in; thankfully I resisted]. But picking and plucking I've...I am going...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/atrichsterstricksneverend/625308...To challenge myself to a no-pick, no-pluck, 45-day hiatus like I did with Myspace [105 days] so I can kick these habits.
