Friends, Just Good Stuff | Posted by Jannie on 27 November 2009 @ 7:26 AM

Is it a cooincidence Kit-Kat wants to snuggle each time I settle on the sofa with this book? (That cat almost NEVER comes near in the daytime.)
The feline senses your expanding positive energy. He knows something big is up.
This hardcover book is physically beautiful, feels like a precious gem in my hands. Every time I see it I smile and feel great, knowing what treasures lie within.
You constantly decide what matters to you. You value aesthetics.
It’s obvious a person of whole happiness wrote Self Disclosure. Dr. Covert laughs at things like lost luggage or mixed-up driving directions. She guides towards blessings and opportunities in everything one might label “negative.” Can I learn to do that too?
Learning and expanding is what you are all about. You just need to re-focus what you already know at Soul level.
Wow – deep!
Love is deep. Infinite. The root of all creation.
The book is changing my life.
YOU are changing your life, with higher energy you always sensed but had long forgotten how to access.
I sometimes feel uneasy reading the book.
Bravo! That’s Soul growth in action. Love is on the move.
Yes, I guess. Then, at other times my Soul is so bursting with big chunks of joy and happiness while reading it, I can actually see and feel light bouncing from my skin through my walls out past the leaves on my trees to the fields, cities and universe beyond.
You ARE light.
Yes, we are all beings of light — I do tend to forget that.
I’d thought I’d pretty-much seen everything, but Self Disclosure’s format is like nothing I’ve ever experienced — truly original on multiple levels. (I’m pseudo-copying the format here, with apologies to Dr. Covert.)
So many levels of goodness are going on at any given moment, so much more is happening at once than you can ever imagine.
Yes! Self Disclosure allows me to tap into things about myself I wasn’t even aware of. It’s a book I keep coming back to again and again to guide me in all levels of my life. I seem to reap new meaning from it at different times.
Your levels of awareness are increasing as you allow them to. Lessons are repeated until you finally get them.
Wow!
Did I mention that at the end of each of the 60+ sections in this almost-300-page book covering every aspect of human-ness you can imagine, Dr. Covert offers additional gifts via comprehensive open-ended exercises to delve into truest Soul? Therein the tools to apply the concepts to our daily lives?
No you didn’t mention, but I remember you getting closer to your core through the exercises, (when you actually did them.) 
Plus, tons and tons of drop-dead gorgeous quotes woven into the flow of the book, snippets of wisdom from 100+ people?
Ah yes, those too.
I was surprised at such a lengthy section about romantic love and intimacy towards the end of the book.
Different sections will resonate more with different readers at different times.
One question: Was I selfish to not leave the book for my sister in Canada this past summer, tucking it back into my suitcase to bring back to Texas because I hadn’t yet finished reading it?
Ah, there you go judging yourself, Grasshopper. Worry is not the true you. Each choice on your path takes you right where you need to be, each a learning experience on the journey to highest self.
Thanks, I feel ‘way better now.
Ahhh, happy and jolly.
Anything else?
To sum up, I’d say Self Disclosure is more of an experience than a book — an investment in Soul, really. A gift you give yourself and others around you, thus the world.
I humbly agree.
Will others like it? Will it change their lives too ?
Duh.
Oh yeah, right. Silly questions.
There are no silly questions. Only silly Jannies.
Now YOU are being silly.
Well, yes, I do have a sense of humor too.
Speaking of which, the section on Laughter I fairly flew through. I almost felt as if I’d written it. I wish the whole world could read it, could read the whole book. I have read nothing that compares to Self Disclosure.
Soul knows what resonates.
Right-ho! I feel enlightened.
Then go do your dishes! You have reframed where you are.
Hey, who ARE you, anyway? What will my readers think?
Well, they’ll just have to experience Self Disclosure and decide for themselves, won’t they?
Of course!
But wait. They need to know where they can acquire the book.
Oh yeah. We almost forgot. They can follow any of the Self Disclosure links above or the following one to Dr. Covert’s website — the home page of Dream Builders Australia, her blog-journal.
Yes, Dr. Covert publishes a new blog post daily. She is amazingly prolific. Teacher. Healer. What a gift to mankind.
And that other thing that’s happening this coming Sunday evening at 6:00 p.m. EST?? Yep, November 29th... ??
Oh yes! Dr. Covert will be interviewing me (Jannie) at this link on Blog Talk Radio. She encourages you guys to “Call in to share your own stories or how you resonate with Jannie’s soul journey. This show invites everyone to be more honest with the self about inner passion and what is involved in more unconditional self-acceptance. Are you ready for self-disclosure?”
Whoo-hoo!!
Whatever is Jannie gonna wear for her radio appearance ?!?
Again with the humor!! Well, my blue chiffon, of course. And my orange felt beret, the one with the green dingle balls.
Why didn’t I think of that?
Um… you’re too busy thinking about Soul growth to concern yourself with the frivolities of fashion?
True!

Blogging | Posted by Jannie on 23 November 2009 @ 7:29 AM

Blogging Addiction Sign 1: If you are not first commenter on your favorite 20 blogs you are depressed all day.
Treatment: Design and implement a subcutaneously-implanted device connected by wireless to your feed reader to shock you the moment your friends post. Make sure it has tons of voltage if you’re a deep sleeper!
Blogging Addiction Sign 2: When you lock your keys / baby and / or laptop in the car, your first thought is… OMG this will keep me from my blog!
Treatment: A “hide-a-key” on the outside of your car, preferably 3 of them at various points on the undercarriage. This can also apply to locking yourself out of your house, for which I recommend the following placed by your front door – no one would ever think to look for a key in this ultra-realistic-looking rock… 
Blogging Addiction Sign 3: First thing in the morning, do you log on and check your blog’s status even before going to the potty, only to end up peeing your pyjamas?
Treatment: No liquids for you between the hours of 1:00 p.m. to the following noon (Yes, that’s a 23 hour stretch, but well worth it!)
Blogging Addiction Sign 4: Does the mere thought of a raindrop on a cloudless day strike terror in your heart, as a storm could temporarily disrupt your Internet connection?
Treatment: Move to Yuma, Arizona — sunniest place on Earth.
Blogging Addiction Sign 5: Is the main reason you keep yourself super-healthy so when your youngest is finally off to college you’ll be able to blog for 16 hours a day, rather than your current paltry 5 to 8 hours?
Treatment: Keep eating right, exercising, taking vitamins, learning, loving and laughing. People blog well into their 90s and beyond!
Blogging Addiction Sign 6: Have you created a fictional but handsome (pretty?) “bloging manigir”
who now roams the Blogspot realm leaving kommints with his (her?) own “teknologee grabatar??”
Treatment: Recent comprehensive studies show the optimal number of fictional bloging manigirs is at least 3, so go ahead — create some more!
Blogging Addiction Sign 7 : If one of your beloveds is ambling in the general direction of the household computer (even if they are only going to fetch a donut or a beer) do you suddenly sprint from wherever you are to flop yourself in front of the screen before they can?
Treatment: Separate computers for each household member at all times.
Blogging Addiction Sign 8: Has a loved one accused you of loving your online peeps more than you love them?
Treatment: Every time you see your actual flesh and blood human companions, smile at them. Jump up and give them big hugs. Write them love notes constantly. Bake them an occasional cake.
Blogging Addiction Sign 9: Do you sit down at the computer for “a quick 10 minutes” to arise 3 hours later in a glazed-eye stupor?
Treatment: That’s fine and dandy, as long as those 3 hours are spent at MY blog!
Just kidding! just kidding! So many WONDERFUL blogs, never enough TIME.
Blogging Addiction Sign 10: Do you sometimes feel guilty about recommending fellow bloggers to each other because there’s a good chance they’ll end up as addicted to blogging as you?
Treatment: Don’t worry. Be happy. There will always be more than enough blogging love (and time!) to go around. And then some! (Hopefully?) (But, of course!)

Last Sunday we enjoyed a most pleasant time at a local lake-side park.

A park rife with pecans the children were eager to fill their bags with.

But hanging out water-side with the minnows and turtles soon eclipsed the thrill of hunting for free pecans.

Chit-chatting and looking extra-cute became the the order of the day and…

the nut-collecting bags were put to alternate use.


When’s the last time you ran around with a bag on your head?
