A toothpick, an axe and duct tape, let's go!

There are many ways to approach our obstacles. At times we may want to take an axe and hack our way through, mindless of what else may get damaged in the process. Other times we may want to use a toothpick to pick away slowly as we just can't face the magnitude of the obstacle. Whatever way we choose, we can always use some duct tape to help patch up our missteps along the way. The point is, whatever fears and obstacles are in our path, it's best to face them one way or another. So grab some tools, pick a fear, and tackle it. If you need some extra help, I will be in aisle 9 at Home Depot, or you can call me at 404-259-1335. Greta Jaeger, LPC, CPLC (404) 259-1335 Greta@coachingyourdreams.com www.CoachingYourDreams.com

Cats and what they can teach us.

I know most of you are thinking this is going to be a cute story and in some ways it is and well, it is also a little sad. I have a cat that hates the other cat in the house with a passion! I know you are thinking cats have passion? "YES" this one does, and focus. She will not stop trying to beat up the other cat. Most cat lovers know eventually cats figure out who is dominant and stop fighting as much. Well my cat, not so much! I have decided it is pure unhindered jealousy to the point where she will scale three (yes three) baby gates put one on top of the other to get into the room where the other cat is staying. She is unhappy and seemingly unwilling to change! We all know someone or have been someone who out of jealousy and anger has attacked someone else and just like the cat is figuring out, it does not end the jealousy, it encourages it. I will keep working with my cat to help her change her behavior (thank God for tuna). How can you let go of of some small anger and jealousy in your life so you don't stay upset and stressed like my cat?
