Generosity Wins, Written By Monte And Nicole, Is The Gift That Keeps On Giving

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 16:57:59 GMT

Two authors, Monte Wood and Dr. Nicole F. Roberts, are more focused on people sharing their book “Generosity Wins” versus the number of copies sold. Why? Because generosity doesn’t cost a thing. As we enter the gift-giving season, It’s important to remember what this holiday represents. For children, it often signifies the time of year when alluring presents pile out from beneath the tree and goodies spill from hung stockings. But as we grow older, the act of receiving becomes less prominent as we shift into the role of giving without expectation of return and learn appreciation for the generous act itself. There remains a fondness for the adolescent glee that once accompanied Christmas, yet, something deeper is experienced – a feeling of fulfillment when we watch the eyes of our loved ones light up as they experience joyful new things.This feeling is not limited to the month of December, it’s an experience shared during birthdays, special events, anniversaries, and so on.

Debunking the Myths: Fabián Tejada Reveals the Science Behind NLP and Hypnosis

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 16:57:59 GMT

www.oscarpereira.myportfolio.comNeuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a psychological approach that integrates thoughts, language, and patterns of behavior learned through experience to achieve specific personal and professional outcomes. Its inception was aimed at replicating the strategies of successful individuals in order to create a roadmap to success for everyone.However, despite its widespread use, NLP continues to be shrouded in mystery and misunderstandings, often dismissed as pseudoscience by skeptics. According to Fabián Tejada, an author, and prominent Master NLP trainer, one of the reasons why this field has been clouded in uncertainty and mistrust is because of a prevalent—yet groundless—belief that NLP, and hypnosis in general, is a suitable tool for manipulation. As the sole NLP Master trainer in Latin America certified by the creator of advanced NLP, he stands out as a foremost expert in the field within the region.Tejada argues this couldn’t be further from the tru...

When Ginger DeClue became chronically ill in 2009, she didn’t know where to start.Now? She’s eliminating symptoms everywhere through studying eyes.Iridology, a holistic and age-old practice, is the study of the iris’s colors and patterns to determine information about that person’s health.“The iris is divided into multiple zones, each of which represents a different aspect or organ of the human body. This helps me as an iridologist determine which organs and systems in the body are under stress and at risk of developing specific conditions,” DeClue stated.The health guru’s interest in iridology stems from her own experience with an accurate iridology reading, she said.“The iridologist was so accurate in describing some past health issues I had struggled with; but what was more fascinating was how my eyes drastically changed the more I changed my body,” DeClue stated.Detoxification is a natural modality designed to remove toxins from the body, DeClue said.

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 16:57:59 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — It had been so long since the Giants had hosted one of these that Farhan Zaidi found himself wondering Friday morning the last time he wore a tie.Devoid of postseason baseball for all but five games in 2021, absent any marquee acquisitions to parade in front of fans and media, the Giants’ top baseball executive has had no reason to dress up. Likewise, the absence of a proper interview room has largely gone unnoticed.But, officially introducing $113 million dollar man Jung Hoo Lee, that changed Friday.“It’s been a while,” Zaidi said off to the side of the makeshift stage erected in the home clubhouse. “I think my level of discomfort is an indication of how long it’s been. But it’s fun. It’s an exciting day.”Going with an orange, silk number, Zaidi was happy to be upstaged by the 25-year-old one seat to his left in a shimmering black suit, red tie and a K-pop haircut.The Giants are taking risk, awarding the franchis...
