1. Welcome & Announcements

Happy Halloween! It's an exciting time for little kids everywhere -- new costumes, Halloween parties, trick-or-treating, jumping in the leaf piles, etc. My children are very excited about the school Halloween parade and the trick-or-treating we'll be doing in the neighborhood later on. I hope the "little kid" in you would also come out and play a little!!! :-)

Last Sunday was the "National Sleep-In Sunday", and I hope you enjoyed that extra hour of sleep. I certainly did. My Teleclass "C.P.R. for More Balance and Inner Peace" went well on Sunday night. Dr. Maria Moratto (owner of Prescription for Bliss) has put the Teleclass recording on her site. The recording will be up for only one week, so make sure you check it out this week! I will also try to obtain the MP3 recording and put it on my website. I'll let you know when it's available. The link is for the recording is:

During the Teleclass, I used several exercises and shared many strategies to help the participants "Choose consciously, Prioritize according to core values, and Reframe your perspective" (a.k.a. the C.P.R.). You can find some of the exercises & additional worksheets in my Intensive Self-Care Kit, which you can download from my website as a gift. If you would like to receive the Mini Energy Breaks Idea List and 12 Stress Busters list that I mentioned during the Teleclass, send me an email at Hueina@BeyondHorizonCoaching.com and I will email them to you.

My next Teleclass is titled: "Learning to say NO so you can say YES to your life". With the holidays approaching, it's even more important that you harness this critical skill, so you can safeguard your precious time & energy, and focus on what truly matters to you. More details and sign-up information will be sent to you soon, so watch your email inbox.

Also, check out Dr. Maria Morrato's website Prescription for Bliss. She offers weekly no-charge Teleclass with guest speakers every Sunday night. Go over there and see what she offers.

2. Featured Article: "Is Your Life Haunted?"

As I was decorating my house & yard for Halloween, I was thinking about some life issues. For example, does your life feel like a "haunted house" all year round? Are you followed and haunted by the gremlins & ghosts from your past? The thing is, the more you try to hide, deny or run away from them, the bigger & more powerful these ghosts grow, until you are either totally stuck in the past or paralyzed by the worries & fears for tomorrow. Read this article to find out how you can break free from a haunted life.
