The Notebook

By Dr. Lynda Klau. Posted on Dec 31st 2012.

Completing 2012 and Going Forward in 2013

A few years ago I heard a wise man make a suggestion I'd like to bring to you now. He recommended you purchase a beautiful notebook. This notebook is for you and your "revelations." You can share it's content or keep it private.

Perhaps you want to begin by remembering 2012 and the "revelations" you had this year. As a "revelation" comes write it down. What is a "revelation"? It's a wisdom that came to you, an awareness that freed you from some personal or collective conditioning, a knowing. A revelation is something of value, a realization. Give yourself time to reflect on 2012. Please see if you can go forward without judging but proceed compassionately and in celebration.

Now for 2013 . . . every time you have a revelation write it down or draw a picture and then put it away in a private place until the next one comes. At any time the spirit moves you take out your notebook and read it. Imagine this come next December on some cold wintery night you may want to take out your notebook and read the gems of your life for 2013. Alone or share; it's your notebook.

This year I'm going to follow my suggestion myself.

May 2013 be your best year yet!

Are You Too Exhausted to be with Your Partner?

By Dr. Lynda Klau

"Having it All" and "Lean IN", are the new hot ticket buzz words these days coming from Sheryl Sandberg's, Facebook’s COO, latest book Lean In.

The Key to Effective Communication

By Dr. Lynda Klau

Do you have the courage to speak your “true,” as Voltaire called it, and to listen? This is not easy for many of us. In fact, not long ago I was at a meeting where we as a group needed to make a decision. I had thought about the topic, did some research, spoke to some colleagues and was very clear about what we needed to do. I was convinced. ... Read more

Thanksgiving begins our year-end holiday season. It's supposed to be a time of giving thanks and love but can you hear the moans and feel the dread in the atmosphere. Why?
