  Recently,  Learning to Feel  (Girrell), reached #321 on the Amazon bestseller list of psychologist biographies. Book Description:  Learning to Feel, Second Edition,  teaches readers how to gain choice and authority over their emotional states. Feelings and emotions are reactions to the deeply held beliefs and experiences of our lives. In order to become fully emotionally intelligent - that is, to be able to know what is yours, what comes from the others, and how best to respond to those others - we must connect first to those core experiences and often re-interpret the meaning they have held for us.  Learning to Feel  is such a journey, intended to be a set of trail blazes for anyone who wishes to up their game in the realm of emotional intelligence.

  Unconditional love is often spoken of in soft tones and poetic phrases—as if it’s something simple, automatic, even easy. But if you’ve ever tried to love fully and freely, without expectation or self-protection, you know: it takes work. Real work. Inner work. The essence of unconditional love isn’t found in a single act of kindness. It’s revealed in our willingness to look within—to understand why we react the way we do, where our emotional triggers lie, and what parts of our past still shape the way we love in the present. That’s where Learning to Feel begins. This book is not about suppressing emotions or floating above them. It’s about entering the heart of them—discovering what is ours, what is borrowed, and what no longer serves us. As we do that, we gain something extraordinary: the power to choose how we feel and how we respond. And when we gain that choice, love changes. It becomes less about control, more about connection. Less about fear, more about freedom. We stop n...

excerpt from RV Oopsies: 101 Dumb Things That RVers Do!  (MacDonald)  91. UP ON THE ROOF Alan decided it was time to clean the roof of his motorhome while it was parked in the driveway. Since his model did not have an attached ladder, he propped his extension ladder against the side and climbed up with a hose and cleaning supplies. While spraying down the roof, his hose caught the ladder and knocked it down. OOPS! Alan’s wife was not due home for another four hours, but quite a few cars were passing by in view of the rig. He figured he would just wave and someone would stop to help. For more than an hour, he waved. The few motorists who noticed him waved back and kept on driving. Finally, a man stopped and put the ladder back up. Alan sheepishly thanked him and decided to clean his roof another day. When Alan reported this mishap to me, he still hadn’t figured out how to prevent a reoccurrence. I suggested several options: ·    use a distress wave (crisscros...
