http://www.geniuscatalyst.com
One of the most frequently asked questions I get here at the DCT is "how do you come up with the ideas for your tips?" The truth is, many days, they write themselves - whatever I've been thinking about or working on blends with whatever has been going on in my life or the lives of my clients, and a tip emerges fully-formed from the womb of my mind.

http://www.holistic-treatment-for-depression.com
Recently someone who was very depressed her whole life - with suicidal thoughts for many years - shared with me the story of how becoming very sick changed her perspective.

Being Scottish, I couldn’t help being interested in Andy Murray’s progress during the recent Wimbledon Tennis Championships. He actually had a very successful tournament, beating Andy Roddick of America in the 3rd round, before losing to Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus in his next match. He really played very poorly in his match with Baghdatis, however, and was left feeling utterly confused by the serious lack of spirit and talent displayed ...
