    <title>Jul 4, A New Adventure for My Cat!</title>
    <link>http://www.relationship-with-self.com/relationship-blog.html#A-New-Adventure-for-My-Cat!</link>
    <description>Hello everyone,

I recently had my cat, Hazel, groomed for the first time since I've had her...And I won't tell you how long I've had her :)

Anyways, here are some pictures of the cutest groom I've ever seen. The day my husband brought her home I thought I was going to die of laughter!  

Here is a picture of her before..(She likes to wait in the bathtub hoping for someone to turn the facet on!) 

&lt;div style=&quot;float:center&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.relationship-with-self.com/images/hazelbeforecut.jpg&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot; hspace=&quot;5&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;

and here are the after shots..

    <title>Feb 13, Writing my first e-book!</title>
    <link>http://www.relationship-with-self.com/self-improvement-newsletter.html</link>
    <description>Hello Relationship-with-Self viewers,

I just wanted to let everyone know that I am in the process of writing a very relevant e-book for Relationship-with-Self viewers. This e-book will guide you step-by-step into changing your dysfunctional, negative thinking into rational, positive thinking.

I have decided to write this e-book for those who are feeling down, lost their zest for life, need a new a change, and are just plain and tired of being their own worst enemy.  

For more information about this upcoming book, please subscribe to the Relationship-with-Self newsletter. You can subscribe by clicking on the link below or by clicking &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.relationship-with-self.com/self-improvement-newsletter.html&quot;&gt;here.&lt;/a&gt;

If you are a newsletter member, you will receive the e-book half price.  If you are a client of mine, please talk to me one on one about this book.

Because this e-book will take a numerous amount of my time, I will not be writing as many articles. But, not to worry, I will post a few here and there ;) And also, just so you know, I have been updating many of my old articles. If you would like to take a look, just check out the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.relationship-with-self.com/self-improvement-article.html&quot;&gt;SiteMap.&lt;/a&gt; 

So, please drop me a line if you have any comments or suggestions on what you would like to see in this book and I'll be happy to add it, if necessary!  

Take care

    <title>Jan 9, Getting  Reacquainted with Myself</title>
    <link>http://www.relationship-with-self.com/self-improvement-newsletter.html</link>
    <description>Hello Relationship-with-Self Viewers..

I wanted to inform everyone that I am going to do a little experiment on myself.. I am going to take my own advice and get to know myself a little better.  &lt;b&gt;Here's the experiment...&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;ol type=&quot;1&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Get to know God better.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Exercise every other day.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Let go of some unhealthy food choices..sigh....&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Give myself time to do nothing..gasp..This one is going to be &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; hard for me.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Set some &lt;i&gt;well-needed&lt;/i&gt; boundaries for myself (i.e. what I can really handle and what is too much).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Improve some neglected relationships.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Journal this experience.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/ol type=&quot;1&quot;&gt;

Everything that I am doing here, I will post during the next newsletter.  The most difficult part of this experience will be doing nothing and getting to know God better. I cannot stand to be bored, but I need to do this because it's something I need to face (a weakness of mine.)  

So I thought I would share this experience as a learning tool for others who have difficulty taking time out for themselves as well.  I will share with you how I went about these goals and the difficulties I faced.  

&lt;b&gt;Here's to loving myself...&lt;/b&gt;

Make sure you sign up for the newsletter so you can gain some insight into this experiment. If you would like to do your own experiment, please post your story during the next newsletter. There will be an opportunity to share this with others. Sharing your story will be a great motivator for actually taking time out for yourself.  

If you would like to participate in this experiment and hear about my own &quot;loving myself&quot; experiment, just click on the link below.  

Take care..</description>
