Any fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genious - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction. Albert Einstein

Chains of Love If you know me at all, you probably thought I was going to write about my favorite holiday (other than my birthday, of course) - Halloween. After all, it is that time of year. But this other story wanted to be written, so here it is.
Every year I decorate the outside of our house and the yard with Christmas stuff. Lots of lights, an animated deer family (complete with red lights for the noses on the two boy deer), a snowman who tips his top hat to visitors, lights, an inflated Christmas tree with lighted gifts under it, more lights, and... well you get the idea. LOTSA stuff.
My friend Libby's topmost core life value is equitability. To her, everything must be fair and equitable. So when I do a favor for her, she always feels compelled to find a way to repay me. Last year she repaid one or another of my favors by campaigning with everyone she knew to have them vote for our house in the annual Port Ludlow Christmas Decorating Contest. Because only about three people entered the contest, we won first place. First prize was a night at the Inn, a round of golf on the world-class course, and brunch. Second prize was the same sans the golf. The people who placed second should have placed first. Their decorations far outdid ours. As we left the short "awards" ceremony and were getting into our cars, I spotted the other couple who had gotten second place. I went over to them and told them that I thought they should have gotten first and asked if I could trade them prizes. The woman got tears in her eyes, not only because I acknowledged the better quality of their display, but her hard work. She'd done it all because her husband is handicapped. Additionally, he has one activity that he's still capable of enjoying - golf. So we had this gift certificate for a stay at the luxurious Inn at Port Ludlow and brunch. But we had no desire to use it. I mean, what's the point of staying at a hotel when it's just down the street? Although I offered it repeatedly to friends, for one reason or another each one was unable to use it. Finally, just as the gift certificate was about to expire, I thought about my Tai Chi Master. He'd mentioned that he had taken his wife there years ago for a romantic getaway (all the way from Port Townsend!) and loved it. So I offered it to him. He was delighted and called me to let me know that he'd made the reservations... for their upcoming wedding anniversary. The one action of putting up Christmas decorations created a Chain of Love as it touched many people and gave them joy:
This Chain of Love became a full circle in the end as I realized how many people I'd been able to give joy and happiness to with one action. What are the Chains of Love that you create? Love, ps. If you really want to see my Halloween decorations for this year, go to my Facebook page. NEW!!

Books have always been an important part of my life. One of my most favorite jobs was working at a bookstore. I'd gaze around the store in amazement at all of the wondrous knowledge that was available to me in all the thousands of books that were gathered together in this one place. It was like having all of the wisest people in all the world in all of history right in front of me, ready to share the best and juiciest parts of their wisdom with me. Picking up a book and reading it was like walking up to them and saying, "tell me the best of all that you know". And so they did... each time I would open their books and read their words. Because I love books soooooo much, I want to share with you those that especially excite me. This month's selection is...
Scientific data puts me to sleep. Whenever I read a book with graphs, numbers, words that span an entire page, and tables of comparative data, I quickly turn those pages until I come to the good stuff again. Not so with this book. The minute I started reading it until I got to the very end I was mesmerized. As I read a book, I highlight passages that I find profound. I found so much fascinating information that I wore out two highlighter pens on this book. Bruce Lipton explains "epigenetics", the new science and study of the molecular mechanisms by which environment controls gene activity, in regular, normal, everyday language... and with warm humor. He explains in an entertaining yet scientific manner exactly how our thoughts affect the cells of our body. He clearly demonstrates that it isn't our genes that control the quality of our health, but what we think. His diagrams and illustrations are unique and, unlike most scientific-based graphs, charts, and tables, are easy to understand. They actually add to the reader's understanding of the complex theories, concepts, and data. Here's a few tidbits from this amazing book:
I couldn't put this book down once I started reading it. All science should be this fascinating... and empowering. This book will change forever how you think about your thoughts! Essential Oil of the Month Rich. Spicy. Cistrus-y. Exotic. Warm. Sweet. All those scents combine harmoniously in this one delicious-smelling oil. Seventeen oils are used to create this one oil, designed to bring us into harmony with all things, people, and the cycles of life. It's beneficial in reducing stress and amplifying well-being. It combats feelings of discord. The aroma is uplifting and elevating to the mind, creating a positive attitude. It promotes physical and emotional healing by creating a harmonic balance for the energy centers of the body. I'm enjoying Harmony Oil as I'm typing these words. I applied a drop to my throat and heart areas. The rich aroma is wafting upward, surrounding me in a delicious cloud of exotic smells. Each time I breathe in the aroma it seems just a bit different as one or the other oils in the blend takes the forefront. Harmony Oil is one of a quartet of oil blends created to uplift the emotions. The other three are Joy, Gratitude, and Hope. These oils should be in the collection of anyone who is experiencing emotional stress. I guess that pretty much covers most people these days. Suggestions of how to use it:
Oils included in this blend:
To obtain the fullest aromatic benefits of this oil, after applying it rub the palms of your hands together briskly to warm the oil on them. Then cup them and place them over your nose. Take three deep breaths This brings the minute oil particles deep into your nasal passages, where their energy imprint is picked up by the Olfactory nerve and taken to the Amygdala gland - the control center of all your emotions and the release of all hormones. Young Living essential oils are steam distilled from the leaves and stems of 100% organic plants. Unlike other brands of essential oils, there are no chemicals used in the processing of the plants. Nor are there chemicals or other ingredients added to dilute or damage the natural healing properties of the oils. Order

If
a friend forwarded The Journal
of Spirited Coaching to you, 
Funny
how one single action by one single person can affect so many other
people. For example, my outdoor Christmas decorations.
I
love putting up the decorations. I love the creativity of the process.
I love how the lights brighten the bleak darkness of winter. And
I love seeing the smiles on people's faces as they walk or drive
by and enjoy the decorations.
