It’s been quite a journey for Clint Esq.  Each step of the way seemed like an impossibility.  But it’s all culminated in success as a result of much prayer (and my money).  OK, some loans helped out as well.  Sometimes we lack self-confidence because  we tell ourselves things about ourselves that are not true which contributes to a lack of confidence.   “I can’t do this,” “Others are smarter than I am,” “I’ll never be able to succeed.” And it goes on and on.  But the truth is, we can do it.  We live in the greatest country on earth that allows opportunity for everyone.  Clint may not have been the smartest, the richest, and he wasn’t born into a family line of lawyers.  I was the first...

You all know I’m not a geek or “techy.”  (ok, where is the “on/off” button?) But a series of events led me to cancel my contract with T Mobile and take the plunge.  I signed up for an Apple iPhone.  I’m very impressed.  It’s intuitive to use with functionality that blows me away.   The applications (apps to us in the know) that can be downloaded are wide and varied in their scope and utility.  Examples include everything from a dictionary, games, stocks, google,  to a flashlight.  Yup, a white screen that provides light in the darkness.  My mail and music all on one  iPod/phone thingamajig.  After spending a total of eight hours on the phone with a Dell technical operator (read Indian connection), and $149...

Sorry, but it’s been a ruff 2 weeks.  Our home computer crashed and Kathy and I have been on high doses of Valium trying to numb the pain of realizing that 12 years of financial history and personal records could be lost forever.  But thanks to our computer savvy (read geek) sons, we now have everything back in order.  They layed hands on our hard drive and it was healed.  Yeeeeessss!  So, since we last spoke, team Obama including his lovely wife Michelle, have failed to bring the Olympics home to Chicagoland and David Letterman has made a complete ass of himself. First let me start by defining a narcissist.  Narcissism is a state of excessive,  inflated self-adoration.  There is a layer of superiority which masks a layer of inferiority and sense of...

Sorry but our home computer crashed and …well you know the rest of the story.  But, I’ll pick back up on the attachment stuff real soon.  In the mean time, found this great little article.

What are your core beliefs about yourself?  You can determine this by answering the following questions:  Am I worthy?  Am I able to do what I need to in order to get the love I need?  Are other people reliable and trustworthy?  Are other people accessible and willing to respond to me? John  Bowlby believed that “the infant and young child should experience a warm, intimate, and continuous relationship with his mother (or permanent mother substitute) in which both find satisfaction and enjoyment” This formed the basis of his attachment theory.  The theory basically says that children develop a framework of thinking about their self worth, about others, about their trust in others, and trust in themselves as a result of the child’s ability to have...

I’ll try and get you caught up this weekend.  I’ve been really busy. R
