I have been speaking (and singing) in front of (and for) large groups ever since I can remember: in church settings, elementary school (putting on plays), college, social clubs, flea markets (selling products), networking events, yoga and music festivals (as emcee), and health fairs. I am no stranger to the stage. But, we can all refine and polish our public speaking and presentation skills, I am no exception.
I read an article today that prompted me to make a list of my tips, based on my experiences:
Before you speak
Know your subject well, yes do your research
Be able to defend or argue your story from multiple perspectives
Write down your speech and remove any filler words or phrases
Practice your speech in front of a mirror
When tempted to use, “you know,” “uhm,” or such just BREATHE (this space is necessary to slow your speaking rate down, as well as give the audience time to rest, make notes, and such)
Practice your speech in front of one or two people and ask for their feedback on how to improve it
Grand tips for speakers and presenters
Day of your speech
Meditate and expand your Energy out to ALL
Greet attendees or meet as many people at the event as possible, shake hands, fist bump, kiss babies, etc. (okay, maybe not kiss babies post-COVID times, but you get the idea)
Ease any jitters or “butterflies” using Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Jin Shin Jyutsu (JSJ), or such (even humming to yourself works)
Once on stage, tune into your heart center and share your story from “that place”—from your soul
Look at some audience members from different sections of the room
Make eye contact with friendly “light” faces
Provide VALUE— never tell a story that doesn’t make a point (Thank you, Les Brown)
Involve your audience, ask “Have you ever…” or “Has this ever happened to you?”
Smile and laugh genuinely, when it fits
If you ever feel nervous, off track, forget what’s next, or self conscious, be wuiet for a moment and breathe, focus and speak from your soul, not your ego
Add color and depth to your personal stories, but don’t drone on, complain, or get caught up in negativity
People want to hear what you learned and how you grew from overcoming adversity
Don’t assume you know your audience—now, on Clubhouse, you probably won’t know them at all, and people are quite multifaceted these days
At the end of your lecture, bow and authentically with humility thank your audience for hearing you—they gave YOU moments of their lives
Meditate on these words. Let me know what changes for you in a week. I love reading your comments!

So, I’m 4 weeks into this 7 week TEST OF WILL, yes, that’s exactly what this is… and I can tell you, I’ve never been so pleased to eat a few almonds, and basmati rice with Ghee!!!
I am loving all the herbs on this detox, except Triphala. I hate Triphala with a great hate! Hahahaha! Just kidding. Well, no, actually I’m not kidding. But I have know-ticed that it is getting easier to suck it down. That is until I worked my way up to taking 8 grams. Then it sucked again. But the results have been amazing!
Basmati rice, arugula, spinach, parsley, celery, and Swiss chard. Splash of coconut aminos too.
My digestive system is really working well. I could set my watch by my morning poop. Ha! But I don’t wear a watch. I have an iPhone. 🤣
And I’ve released about 14 pounds in 4 weeks, which is extremely encouraging! I lost 16 pounds prior to the start of this detox, for a total of 30. And I’m thrilled! I have more to release, so I’ll probably extend my detox and modify the diet a bit (because it is getting boring not eating salt, dairy, eggs, beef, chocolate, sugar, nutritional yeast, protein bars, peanut butter, berries, smoothies, creole spices, tequila and wine). I’ll take it easy though, and consume those sparingly, now that I know I can live without them. ❤️😉

The Sacred Science 7 Week Herbal Detox with KP Khalsa
I don’t normally celebrate Lent, but I happen to be on a 7-week herbal detox through The Sacred Science with KP Khalsa, and it has us eating bland for 7 weeks and taking different herbs each week to cleanse a specific body system. Thus, I have given up wine, chocolate, butter, cheese (all dairy), nuts, even the raw salads that I love!
7 Week Herbal Detox with KP Khalsa
For 7 weeks, I am only eating prescribed veggies (that change each week), without seasoning or salt, along with some grains and legumes (I chose basmati rice and lentils of the list of gluten-free grains and legumes the diet allows). It is strict, but I am feeling so much better! And I am learning a lot about these herbs, about which, “coincidentally,” I had been wanting to learn!
By eating blandly, the body’s digestive system can rest and focus on the healing and restorative properties of the herbs.
It is challenging my mind and body. Easing out old habits. And showing me another side of my Ego—that which is driven by my taste buds!
Cooked carrots, rutabaga, and artichoke on top of kitchari: basmati rice and lentils (no spices, no butter, no condiments)

Continuing dialing in on the Integration Diet: Fats
There are more monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats that exist than what I have listed, but I exclude anything that is known to be heavily genetically modified—GMOs), like Canola oil.
Monounsaturated fatty acids or MUFAs are nutrients a body needs to maintain healthy cells. MUFAs are high in vitamin E, which we are often lacking.
What fats I eat.
MUFA foods I eat include:
Almonds, almond butter
Avocados, avocado oil
Cashews (*except on the Low Mold Diet)
Hazelnuts (+limit due to my blood type)
Macadamia nuts
Olive oil
Peanut butter, peanut oil*
Pecans
Pumpkin seeds
Safflower oil (Note: this is a SEED oil, use sparingly if at all)
Sesame seeds, sesame oil (Note: this is a SEED oil, use sparingly if at all)
Sunflower seeds, sunflower oil+ (Note: this is a SEED oil, use sparingly if at all)
Watermelon seeds
While following a Low Mold Diet, which I have recently learned can reduce symptoms of Chronic Inflammatory Response System (CIRS), I don’t include peanuts or cashews in my diet. It isn’t easy because my favorite protein bar contains cashews. 😞
Polyunsaturated fatty acids or PUFAs include omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, that are considered “essential” nutrients. Our bodies need them (for brain function and cell growth) but can’t produce them. These healthy fats must come from the foods we eat.
Research suggests that consuming PUFAs may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Foods rich in PUFAs include:
Albacore tuna
Flaxseeds, flax oil (Note: this is a SEED oil, use sparingly if at all—crush fresh flaxseeds daily for best results)
Herring
Mackerel
Safflower oil (Note: this is a SEED oil, use sparingly if at all)
Salmon
Soybeans, soybean oil, tofu (Note: lots of issues with Soy, use sparingly if at all)
Sunflower seeds, sunflower oil+
Trout
Walnuts*
FYI for those curious about the Low Mold Diet, refer to Wholistic Matters.
You may have noticed that I left out one of my favorite brain health oils, coconut oil. That’s because my focus is on my omega 6 to omega 3 ratio balance. I still love coconut oil, but it is a saturated fat, so I eat less of it, and use more of it on my head and skin (to nourish my body through my skin)! ❤️🦋🌀

Just like the static most of us saw (after the last broadcast of the day on our television 📺 set), we (in our energy body or aura), can gather static around us that needs to be cleared daily.
Stay with me for a moment.
If you walk across a carpeted room on a cold day and touch metal, you may get a shock. That shock is an example of static electricity.
In the dark
You can’t SEE the static electricity, unless it’s dark and sometimes then, it’s visible. But nevertheless, the static electricity IS there.
And seeds grow in the darkness of the soil, so yes, we “go there” into the darkness inside of ourselves to ground and center. Don’t worry! It is not scary, it is freeing! Know thyself.
An exercise
Rub a balloon over a person’s head of hair and static electricity causes the hair to rise.
No one argues that static electricity exists, though mostly, it’s invisible.
It’s just physics. And physics is a Science that is continually evolving (as are we)!
Energy body
Why then, is it so hard to believe that each of us have an energy body? And that the state of that energy body can impact our health!
We can tune ourselves to resonate with EASE. We can make small adjustments to free our minds of static and confusion to feel less anxious, clear and confident—Connected to ALL.
Movies
Years ago, the movie Poltergeist made the TV screen static seem scary, like it was a portal into a dark and evil place. But I say, we must rise above the “programming”!

Would you like these ways to be things you can quickly stack onto your daily habits? #stackhabits

You’ve heard, “Just Do It” as the marketing slogan. And you say you’re a Christian. But you don’t live like Jesus lived. You say it’s because He was God, or God in human form. You say He was perfect and that you cannot be perfect, because you are not God or not The Son of God.
But Jesus said WE are all sons and daughters of God. And that we could do even greater things than He did when He walked the earth.
Faith is trusting and knowing without any doubt.
BE Jesus.
Egoless
Jesus didn’t come to collect followers or win friends. He came to show us what IS possible. That it IS our birthright to live as He did. Study the scriptures with an eye to understand HOW He lived.
Living like Jesus has nothing to do with Ego.
Surrender your Ego.
This whole “need to be perfect,” and “need to be protected” stuff is all driven by Ego. That’s the only “work” you have to do—to let go of that.
BE Jesus.
Ego is manmade, and typically found when we get caught up in comparing ourselves (or our accomplishments) to others.
We are each unique, so all comparisons fall flat. No comparisons are needed. Comparisons are a waste of time. Waste of Energy.
Perfection
Ah, why do we limit our potential, limit our power by thinking we are not perfect? Jesus came to clean us and offer His “perfect protection.” So, why do we doubt ourselves? Do we doubt Him?
I don’t need to be perfect, or protected because I know that I’m enveloped by Omniscience. And I don’t say that with ANY sense of Ego.
I have spoken with some about this and they don’t understand.
It seems to me that being enveloped by Omniscience is when one is resonating IN a high level of faith, trust, knowing. IN that state of blissful resonance, one rests and surrenders to “Everything Resolves to Gratitude.”
One understands the meaning of that phrase.
Personal relationship with Jesus the Christ via the Holy Spirit is wonderful… but I have never felt it necessary to “convert” others or that Jesus is the ONLY way to God. Holy dialogue is inclusive. Jesus (in his lifetime) was the way to get around having to go to a priest to commune with God. Holy Spirit (Spirituality) is available to ALL.
It will ALL work out in the end. Breathe. Be still and know.
Be Whole.
BE Jesus.

What if a rosebud immediately opened and bloomed when you spoke kindly to it? Imagine.
What if ALL businesses closed to “keep us safe,” or “save lives”? Imagine.
What if we save the unborn then created bureaucracy that led their families down a poor economic path, so their choices were limited, or minimal? Imagine.
What if we punished people (to the point of death), when they made mistakes? We do. It’s not right, if we choose Life.
What if you had to choose between a mother’s life and the life of her baby, during the process of birth? Choice happens. No blame.
What if most suffer due to the choices of a few? It happens. Seems insane.
What if a rosebud immediately opened and bloomed when you touched it? Imagine.
What if a rosebud immediately opened and bloomed when you spoke kindly to it? Imagine. ❤️🦋🌀

We all know 2020 has been a year like no other in our lives. If we thought 2001, 2004 (we had 3 hurricanes back to back in Florida that year), and 2008 (banking and job crisis), were challenging, we hadn’t seen anything until 2020. Am I right?
So, I thought now it might feel good to take stock and honor where I’ve been, in hopes to launch my 2021 off on a high note! How about you?
Surviving
Yes, I honor my past and all I’ve survived.
Some of the things I have gone through were of my own making and some things happened by default. (And a few people turned a fork in my back, but they are long in my rear view mirror now—thankfully!)
Happy New Year Everyone!
My biggest accomplishments
A business coach challenged me to list my top 25 accomplishments, so whenever I felt down, I could point to each one and say, “I did that”!
Well, I had a hard time listing 20 at first and before I knew it, instead of 20 or 25, I found I had written 32! LOL
Here they are in chronological order:
Having my 2 children
Survived first divorce that left me and my children in a new state (alone with only 2 new friends and parents who were in no position to help at that time)
Paid all my own bills
Worked 10 years at a prestigious university
Achieved two college degrees (the second with highest honors)
Put braces on my teeth and paid for those myself
Survived second divorce (from #2 who had major issues; since I don’t like labels though, I won’t list those here.)
Bought my own house using creative financing
Paid off several cars
Sold the house for a huge profit
Wrote both of my children big checks from the sale of that home
Traveled across the country working as an IT consultant (3 years)
Towed my own travel trailer and survived one whole winter in Missouri in it!
Working in Information Technology (30+ years) both for corporate/government
Co-wrote a well-received song when my would-be husband and I met (while I was on the road in Missouri) – https://vimeo.com/416711742?
Married the “Love of my life” (3rd time was the charm!)
Helped my husband buy his first house
Refurbished and sold that house for a profit
Bought a new townhouse together
Learned (and continue to learn) holistic health methods to heal and integrate Spirit-Soul, Mind-Body
Healed my body from 30+ years of asthma
Living full-time in an RV for 10+ years
Writing 3 books (with a 4th in progress) links at the bottom of this article
Writing and managing two blog sites – this one and Being Wholly Vibrant
Enjoyed time with my parents as they aged
Gracefully accepted my parents’ passing in 2017 and 2019
Continue to receive messages and visions from my parents in spirit since they crossed over to the Grand Beyond
Enjoying time with my granddaughters (in person when possible or via video chats)
Working 3.5 years from home (so was already very comfortable with it when lockdowns occurred)
Living off the grid
Learning how to “stay connected” even with limited/low bandwidth internet connectivity
Surviving this pandemic/plandemic year on private off grid property (a huge undertaking at our age)
What are your biggest accomplishments?
I’m using all I’ve learned to craft a self-coaching program where a small group of 4 dig deep and integrate what we know to achieve emotional balance. Would you like to join an upcoming 4 week program? (Let me know in the comments.)
And Happy New Year, everyone! ❤️🦋🌀🎆🎉

Right from the start, let me tell you that I’ve been gently releasing the excess weight I’d gained during the COVID lockdown, by eating all different kinds of foods and challenging my former thoughts about what foods I should eat. It has really surprised me! And those “surprises” challenged me to analyze what was going on and how I could sustain ongoing weight loss (as I’d been overweight, technically obese), BEFORE the lockdowns.
Food History
I’d lost 20 pounds during 2019 with the help of a modified Keto diet as suggested by my chiropractor, restricting certain foods, and dining out less, (and scrutinizing food ingredients when we did go out). Mostly, I went out to socialize with my husband and not even eat a meal. I had taken a lot of supplements too, to help balance my hormones. But during the summer of 2020, I regained those 20 pounds (mostly due to COVID lockdown depression).
When I say I am not unfamiliar with diets, it’s true. I’ve done so many different diets over the course of twenty years, it’s not funny. It’s actually kinda sad. I didn’t even learn (throughout all of the time I spent on various diets), how to tell when I was hungry—until I was ravenous (belly gurgling with hunger pangs)! I learned the particular diet, but I didn’t align my MIND-BODY, and integrate these aspects and LISTEN to my body and analyze what changes I needed to make in order to experience RESULTS. (I am in alignment, Now.)
So, what I’m about to share may shock you. It has, and continues to shock me!
Food List
Here’s a list of some of the foods I’ve eaten and seen the number on the scale DROP the next morning, foods I wouldn’t have eaten a year ago:
Steak
Barbecue sauce (I found one brand that works for me. Yes, ONE.)
Cheese (I found a couple types that work for me.)
Half and half
Canned soup (I drink an extra cup of water after to help flush out excess salt.)
Rice (rinsed very well before cooking)
Soy sauce (always thought it was a no-no)
Pasta (egg or veggie noodles)
Potatoes (even tater tots, and potato chips! Gasp! Small portion, but yes. Shocking!)
Dark Chocolate (small portion, on a fancy plate)
Margaritas (homemade, no sugary mixer)
Red wine (limited to 8 ounces a night, though depending on my meal, I’ve had more)
Universal Yums (a monthly subscription of snacks from around the world-tiny servings—added this because we’re foodies and love trying new foods from other countries! Since we can’t travel currently, this monthly fun box supports our mental health and Connects us ALL.)
What started it all? I credit a pillar of my weight loss success to the Omada program (that was offered to me by my health insurance program: Florida Blue), because they sent me a free scale that communicates back to their app and diet coach, via blue tooth technology (so, I am held accountable). Accountability is KEY!
I weigh in every morning, nude, and before drinking any water and after going to the restroom. I’ve also integrated this into my morning meditation ritual which includes a brief gratitude ritual (along with some Yoga postures and Energy building Qigong activity) to release any gas in my body, strengthen my immune system, and release stress. And this was the impetus for developing Integrated Spiral!
Tying these activities together has been a huge advance in my ability to stick with the weigh ins and track my journey. In the first three months, I released 15 pounds, but UPDATE: By March 24, 2021 I lost a total of 32 pounds (which included another 17 pounds lost during my time of participating in a 7 week Herbal Detox with KP Khalsa and The Sacred Science)!
I’ve communicated with my coach on the days I gained a pound or so, and worked through the mental hoops and associated feelings. I’ve also incorporated small celebratory actions that do not involve food, as a new way to thank my body for following through on my desire to lose weight.
The Omada program also came with an app, which has helped me focus on the size and health of my meals, rather than the calories of the food (as I’d tracked before in the LoseIt! app). Now, I watch for the trends of how many veggies I’m eating in a week, and what I’ve eaten the day before I see the number go up or down on the scale. It’s a pretty cool bio feedback loop and is definitely working for me.
NOTE: If you’re not in the Omada program, you can still do the weight loss portion of my Integrated Spiral program, because I have found even better blue tooth scales that measure 17 health markers! I’m gonna get one if and when my Omada scale fails. 😉
Supplements
Aside from the liquid supplement that both my husband and I consume daily, when we moved off grid, I pretty much quit taking any other supplements, except Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Zinc, and Magnesium. But when I first stepped on the Omada scale and saw how much I had gained from February to September, I started looking into anything and everything I could take to support my weight loss journey. For the first time in a long time, I felt desperate.
I tried a few supplements and I could tell what didn’t work by how I felt and that I’d gain ounces the day or so after taking them. I think my body is so sensitive, that I gain a bit of weight anytime I introduce something new to it. That’s a theory I am tracking via my food and weight log (which, circles back to why tracking is sooo important)!
There are few supplements (weight loss aids) that have helped me, and I’ll be writing reviews on those products on Being Wholly Vibrant.
I’m not including any supplements in my Integration Diet per se, because I don’t want you to feel that you have to take certain supplements in order to participate in this program. Take It Upon Yourself, as I always say, to do what works best for you. Plus, I’m attempting to keep all product reviews on my other blog. 🧐
Portions and measuring
I’ve found that my 1/2 C measuring cup has become my best friend in the kitchen. I scoop out chili and soup with it, and measure rice and pasta with it too. If I am in doubt, I measure. And I don’t just “trust” my eyes and brain with that “eyeball” method of measuring food, because that has been known to fail me.
The limit I set for myself on these kinds of foods is 1 C at a time. If for some reason I absolutely find that I need or want more, I go back for 1/2 C more. But, in three months, that’s only happened twice.
You gotta serve somebody. Just include yourSelf!
Timing
One trend I’ve noticed is that when I stop eating anything by 6pm, the number on the scale goes down the next morning.
I’m a big fan of intermittent fasting, but for it to work for me, I’ve observed that I need to go to bed on an empty stomach. I’ve tried all the other ways to do intermittent fasting, and no other combination works for me except going to be feeling hunger pangs. (This became less and less the longer I stayed committed to this program.) For me to practice intermittent fasting long term, well, it takes a real commitment and mindset. I’ve haven’t always been successful, but somehow, I feel this time, I will reach my ultimate goal weight.
Another trend I’ve noticed is that if I abstain from night time snacking, I can eat the same snack midday the next day (after lunch), and it doesn’t make the numbers on the scale go up, like it would have done, had I consumed it at 9pm. Weird, but that’s what I’ve observed as true for my body.
Creating the habit
All of this has been about helping me establish good habits that I can maintain for life. I know walking daily, or not, is a choice.
And honestly, the number on the scale has gone down on the morning after I didn’t walk and I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s because I need to rest and allow my body time to repair and reduce the inflammation that came from my walking the day before. I don’t know. I’m continuing to monitor that.
So far, I’ve had the best outcome from tying two or more tasks or practices together. This is why I formed my Integrated Spiral transformational, small group, self-coaching program.
I know in order for me to make the commitment to a healthy, whole, and vibrant body means I must be held accountable. By serving others, I will serve myself. And in Bob Dylan’s famous words, “You gotta serve somebody.”
I know spiritual types that aren’t in touch with their bodies. And I know body conscious types who want to learn more about Spirituality. I think (and feel), I can serve both.
