The busy holiday season of 2017 is now a beautiful memory
and the first few drops of 2018 are trickling through. Hi everyone, I missed
you all. Last year wrapped up with so much excitement. I’m finally ready to
catch up a bit. Where to begin???
I found a new book/new author that I’d like to
share. Have you given up on your New Year’s resolutions yet? Whether you’re
still following your new attempts at self-improvement, if you have given up on
those things, or if you happen to be like me who is someone that doesn’t make
New Year resolutions (I actually make no resolutions at all) this book is one
terrific alternative for creating and maintaining new habits. I might add that
I honestly don’t buy into that whole self-help thing, the way I see it, “I’m
not broken, don’t start trying to fix me. I’m fine just the way I am.” So with those
thoughts in mind, why not go ahead and check this out. Really, I think you
should give this one a try, I’m sure you’ll like it.
Let’s start with who and what I’m talking about. The
author is Dr. Mani and the title is, ‘Knife At A Gun Fight’. You can find it at
Amazon or just follow this link. I must say that I like the title since it reminds me
of the old Humphrey Bogart type bad boy (sigh - lol) movies but remember that
we should never judge a book by its name or label. You will very quickly see
the reasoning for this title early in the book and it makes so much sense.
First of all let me just say that Dr. Mani is a heart surgeon by profession and
also by his natural life process. He is of course so many other things
including humanitarian, family man, and I suppose you could say a dedicated
student of life. This book shows Dr. Mani’s unique insight to the intricate
part of human nature known as ‘habits’ along with his uncanny ability to take a
complex subject and make it an easy read while providing many times its own
weight in the wisdom of how to change for the better. I don’t know if I’ve ever
mentioned that I’m a certified hypnotist proficient in several types of symbolistic
techniques and have some formal training in the way the subconscious mind works
– sometimes to our benefit, sometimes not so much. The subconscious is of
course where our habits have their roots and needs special attention when
making conscious positive change. Dr. Mani seems to know quite well this inner
monitor that we all share. He casually strolls these paths in the mind like a
walk in the garden while providing a typical self-dialog that is quick to bring
a smile. So check it out, Knife At A Gun Fight I like it and I think you will too.
In other thoughts of authors and gurus…
Have I ever mentioned my favorite, “Guru that doesn’t
seem to know he’s a guru”? John Harricharan is a little wealth of wisdom who
shares deeply spiritual ideas just like I eat PB&J’s for lunch. My favorite book
by John is, ‘When You Can Walk On Water Take The Boat’. Typically he gives this
one and many others away for free. John Harricharan is not your typical
self-proclaimed guru or self-help guy, he just shares a deep inner wisdom that’s
easy and fun to read. You should check him out too.
(Of course my book is still available but we can
talk about that another time)
On the transitioning front…
Things are really moving along now. I love the
changes I see happening to my external appearance and people are calling me ‘mam’
even when I don’t wear makeup or jewelry. Oh it feels so good every time I hear
it. I’m once again aligning my outside self to my truest most sincere sense of
who I am, who I’ve always been. It’s like being a butterfly that’s able to
watch the metamorphosis as its happening. It feels so good! I’ve also had an
appointment with the cosmetic surgeon for breast augmentation and almost had my
first consultation with the gender reassignment surgeon but had to reschedule because
he was stuck in surgery. It’s okay to wait a bit longer though, I mean I’ve
been waiting a lifetime for this and I am a very patient person. A few more
weeks won’t be too big of a deal. I just love being trans, its such a cool
feeling to be going through life with this perspective. Since I’d already
transitioned to, as they say, “full time female" once before, I know how
wonderful it feels to really be able to express myself. Being complete will be
incredible but right now is also quite incredible and exciting. You know I truly hope everyone
out there knows how good it is to just be the person they were created to be.
We’re these beautiful shining glimmers in the rainbow of life. Let the pretense
go and shine bright!
Big hugs and blessings to everyone.
