Tulips on last legs

by Tricia

White Tulip

It’s funny, with the summer like heat we’ve had this week the tulips that were still blooming grew even more. Some of the tulip blooms are sitting on stems that are easily 2.5 feet in height! Those stems were only a foot to a foot and a half tall a week ago. They look kind of strange.

The tulip that I’ve shown you in the above picture is no more. Time and the heat took it out of the picture. Now it’s leaves are wilting and turning yellow.

A tip for those of you who are new to gardening. Once your tulips have finished blooming cut off the stems but don’t do anything that will damage the leaves. You want the green leaves to stay as long as possible because they are gathering nutrients and energy for the tulip bulb. You will have a strong healthy looking flower next year if you let the green tulip leaves wilt and die down naturally.

Yes, once the tulip leaves are more than 50% yellowed I do go around and cut them down, but I don’t do it any earlier than that as I love my strong and healthy tulips each spring.

Got a problem? Try an Instant-Hypnosis recording

by Tricia

Almost everyone has something about themselves that they’d love to try to improve, fix or cure. Whether it be losing a few pounds, becoming less insecure, improving memory, getting over a fear of something, or even improving their health.

There are many ways in which we can try to fix ongoing problems or improve ourselves, but I’m wondering, have you ever thought of using hypnosis as a way to improve or cure some of the problems that you’ve encountered in life?

There’s a website called Instant-Hypnosis.com that has hypnosis downloads for just about every kind of problem or personal self improvement desire that you might have.

You might be laughing right now at the idea of using a hypnosis recording to help you improve on something, but I can tell you that it does work in some cases.

Take my husband for example. He’s a really sweet guy that would do just about anything for anyone. He comes off as being one of the most easy going people that you’ve ever met. I’m sure people think that his life must be totally stress free. However, since he was a child he’s had a lot of trouble sleeping. This is because he doesn’t seem to know how to get rid of stress. I think it’s because he doesn’t let it out like most of us do by getting angry or talking it out. He keeps that stuff inside and it comes out at night when he’s trying to sleep.

When he was 18 or so he came to Toronto to go to College and his sleeping got worse because he was in a new city, and was under pressure to do well in his studies. He started using a self hypnosis tape to simply help him relax and to help him get to a peaceful place where he could sleep and it worked like a charm. He still pulls that tape out when he’s having a lot of trouble sleeping.

The Instant-Hypnosis website has over 300 professionally created hypnosis sessions. All of these sessions are available in the form of MP3 downloads, or on audio CD.

I’m going to list a few of the Instant-Hypnosis downloads that you can get on the site. If self improvement is your goal you could purchase the Self-Esteem Booster, Positive Thinking, or the Be Assertive hypnosis recordings. If you have a problem that might actually affect your health or the way you live you might be interested in purchasing the Stop Smoking, Release your Anger, Child Abuse Survivor or the Attention Deficit Disorder recordings.

Other instant Hypnosis recordings that might interest you are Sales Success, Language Learning, Speed Reading, Stop Procrastination, Achieve Goals, Release ANY Fear, Fear of Flying, Cure Gambling Addiction, Fear of Heights, Fear of Water, Stop Panic Attacks, Cure Insomnia, Cancer Help, Healthy Eating, Get Over Bereavement, Stop Jealousy, Enjoy Deep Sleep, and Manage your Pain.

Many of the recordings that I just listed are real problems for people. Some are also worthy goals that if achieved, such as stop procrastination, could improve the way you work and might even lead to promotions and a better lifestyle.

I personally live in chronic pain due to my Crohn’s disease. I’ve tried just about everything to either stop the flares or lessen the pain that I live in from medicines to various therapies and diets. Certainly listening to an MP3 or audio CD recording of how to manage your pain is worth a shot.

If you’re interested in trying one or more of the Instant-Hypnosis recordings you’ll be pleased to know that the company offers multi-purchase discounts, and free MP3 player software with every purchase. The prices seem quite reasonable at just 12.95 for an MP3 download, or $25.95 for an audio CD.

If you’d like to try out the Instant-Hypnosis recordings there’s a special voucher that will allow you two free hypnosis sessions. Just click the link to get the voucher code.

Hey some of these Instant Hypnosis recordings might even make a great gift for someone you know.

The storm is coming

by Tricia

I’m sitting here waiting for a storm to start.

It was a warm and bright sunny day up until an hour or so ago, but now the clouds have moved in and it has that ominous feel.

It’s humid and the air just feels thick. I’m sure a storm will arrive within the next half hour or so. Which means I’d better get whatever work I want to get done on the computer finished soon!

Lately when we’ve had bad storms it’s not unusual for the power to go out. I live in a huge city, 5th largest in North America, yet the power goes out when we get a good storm? Somethings wrong with that I think.

I hope that my readers are going to get some rain too if you need it.
