I think the hypnotist noticed because she told me nicely that I appeared a bit nervous.
She quickly explained the benefits of hypnosis, how it works, and what exactly we would be doing together. We did some basic exercises and she asked me to revisit some stressful events in my past so she could walk me through them once more. She taught me different ways to approach situations which I have been implementing into my daily routine with much success. I’m not sure if it’s because I had invested a bit of faith in the idea that something like hypnosis could actually help me or because I really gave it my all while in that chair, but I’m feeling infinitely better since I tried it. Hallelujah.
I also (finally!) got my tattoo. I’m very happy with it. Bryan and my best friend came with, each took a hand, and did much to ease my nerves. But it really wasn’t so bad and I’m already considering my second. This, I imagine, is how it all gets started, isn’t it?
This past Wednesday I appeared on a radio talk show to discuss dating and relationships. I think it went well but I realized I have the tendency of saying “like” and “you know” a thousand times. I’ll work on that. Does anyone have any information on getting involved in radio? I’d love to hear it!
Other than that, things are looking good. Phish summer tour has been announced. I’m still smitten and Bryan and I haven’t killed each other after five months. And it looks as though I have some exciting projects in the works. Details to come soon.

Love the tattoo!!! I’ve been seriously considering getting another one and I want something like that…although not in a place that is quite so sensitive! Ouch!
Love the tattoo! It is very you. Also glad to hear the hypnosis thing is working out for you, I’ve always been intruigued by it. I hope you have a wonderful and lucky St. Patrick’s Day weekend!
“For each petal on the shamrock
This brings a wish your way –
Good health, good luck, and happiness
For today and every day.”
I’ve been dying to do a “past life regression” which is similar to hypnosis but I’m just a big chicken. congrats on your week of firsts!!
I have to be more brave too, and step out my comfort zone.. You are inspiring 🙂
YAY! I love good news! It’s hard not to feel up when the weather is as nice as it’s been… I hear its just as pretty up there as it is down here!
Beautiful tattoo!! And yes, once you get one, you sorta want to get another. And another. I’m amazed I stopped at 1. 15 years ago. 🙂
Yay, you got the tat! I love it!! So very you 🙂 I recently did a hypnotist groupon deal, I’m hoping they can do something with my fear of public speaking…it’s bad!
That’s where I want my next tat! Well, my next tat will be Sunday but the one AFTER my next tat. I want to get the words “Not all those who wander are lost.”
So what was the pain level from 1 to 10, 1 being you could have napped through it and 10 being “OMFG you might as well have just cut off my arm!”
I think a hypnotist would be so cool! And YAY for stepping outside your comfort zone.
So funny you said that about the tattoo, because EVERYONE says once you get one, you’ll want more!
I could see you as a radio personality…
And what a cool tattoo! Love the words.
I love the tattoo. Love. I am so glad life is going good. 🙂
You were on a radio show?! Do you have the broadcast somewhere? I’d love to listen. That’s amazing! Sometimes when I watch Frasier reruns I think, man that’d be fun. I could do that! I wouldn’t even know how to get started. That is so so cool!
Love the tattoo and that’s a unique location. I like it! I bet it was super tender though, ouch! I want a tattoo on the back of my neck. I think I’ll wait til Roo is born. 🙂 I promised myself I’d wait at least a year from the day I first decided, just to make sure I liked it.
What was the hypnosis for if you don’t mind me asking? It sounds really interesting. I want to do hypnosis labor. I’ve heard it can really help you relax.
A radio show? THE LINK PLEASE.
And I’ll bet you’ll pay attention to the Likes, and You knows now.
Mine is “so…..”
I end my sentences with “so..”
With radio, you do have to get used to and comfortable with what feels like an awkward silence. They just need you to stop talking so they can move on to the next question. SO different from real life talking…
Wow! Looks amazing! And congrats on the radio show feature.
