“I naturally lean toward the left side of my brain and she leans heavily the other way. I am prone to internalizing my feelings until they boil over; Hillary is on the more expressive side of things. Then we tend to reverse these roles in the heat of a disagreement, with me continually asking, “What’s wrong?” and Hillary continually thinking, “He ought to know!”
“My default is to be lazy and to procrastinate, hers is more Energizer Bunny. I’ve worked a long time to overcome a tendency toward co-dependence; Hillary is without a doubt the most independent person I’ve ever known.
“We look at things, hear things, and assign meanings to things as differently as seems imaginable to me. And in the early and extremely explosive days of our relationship, every bit of reason and logic within me screamed at me to run (just ask my mom). I’m immensely glad I didn’t listen. My relationship with Hillary has been and continues to be, the truest and most beautiful thing in my life.
“We are so grateful we’ve given each other the gifts of our commitment and our persistence. Through learning and doing the very things we share in this book, a day doesn’t go by now without us having the full awareness that our relationship is indeed the truest and most beautiful thing in our life.”
Winner will be announced May 10th. Winner must provide a mailing address to receive the book.

We act like time is tangible. We say that we spend time, kill time, and have overtime!
Motivational speakers have told us that time is our most precious commodity. However, all we really have is the PRESENT MOMENT.
Reach out if you would like to learn more about embracing the present and living from your heart.

On the quantum level, time may not exist! But here in this material three-dimensional world. It comes in handy. It’s become an incredibly significant part of our lives.
Sometimes it determines the very structure of our lives. Without it, it would be hard to all get together at the same time. In fact, Einstein said the only purpose of time was so that everything doesn’t happen at once.
Notice in chiropractic that we even use the amount of time that we spend with people as an indication of the worth of the care! Or even our own worth as we deliver the care.

Comment one thing you are visualizing for your day, your practice and your life.
Have you heard of phantom adjusting? Dr. Jim Sigafoose would have us do this crazy thing; we adjusted people who weren’t there!
When I would practice this in my clinic, my daughter would sign these imaginary people in. Hillary would bring them back, I would adjust them, I would hug them, they would get rescheduled.
We were actually acting as if we were seeing that many people! We were altering our wiring. And it works!
We were acting as if. We were visualizing it, feeling it, and giving thanks for it. And then we were physically moving our bodies through it.
This is the most powerful formula of all for rewiring and it changes our experience of reality.
If you are too ready to visualize your day the way you’d like it to be, I would suggest starting with just one or two things instead of the entire day.
Perhaps you can start with something that didn’t go according to plan the previous day. You can visualize staying grounded, firmly anchored in your values, waltzing through the challenge or issue just the way you’d choose to.
To put it simply, act as if. That’s the same as an old African proverb, which is, “when you pray, move your feet.”
