It Can be Really Relaxing! by James Fryer http://dianafletcher.wordpress.com/2009/08/16/stay-here-it-can-be-really-relaxing/#comment-206 James Fryer Thu, 15 Oct 2009 13:55:23 +0000 http://dianafletcher.wordpress.com/?p=192#comment-206 This is the secret to photography. It really is. The difference between a mediocre photographer and a good one is how much they really see. The mediocre photographer only sees his subject, the good photographer sees everything in front of them, they take in the whole scene and how it relates to the subject. This lets them put their subject in context and create a balanced composition. Don't just look, really see. Be there. The difference between a good photographer and a great one is that the great one sees and feels everything around them so well and so truly that they can anticipate what what is going to happen and be ready to capture it. This is the secret to photography.

I know the support of her family was just as important. I wish you all the best and thank you so much for sharing.

Scott Mon, 24 Aug 2009 17:56:27 +0000 http://dianafletcher.wordpress.com/?p=187#comment-193 Thanks for this article. My mother for many years struggled with addiction (it wasn't a food addiction) and her story of success included changes needed you mention here. The only thing that finally got her attention was almost losing her life in an alcohol infused mishap. She was able to find her way with the support of our family and the help of the staff at our local rehab center C.A.R.E. Florida (www.careflorida.com) here in Palm Beach Fl. I hope they are in your nationwide list of drug rehabs that you refer to because they were of immeasurable help to my family. Thanks, and keep up the great work of educating people on the benefits of abandoning addiction. Thanks for this article.

Lipitor for children?! by coachfletcher http://dianafletcher.wordpress.com/2008/07/07/aaaccckkk-lipitor-for-children/#comment-192 coachfletcher Mon, 24 Aug 2009 01:44:06 +0000 http://dianafletcher.wordpress.com/?p=43#comment-192 Layla, I am so glad you wrote, and I would never assume that someone in your situation should go without a life saving drug. My concern is that sometimes people jump to conclusions about their health situation, and assume a drug will fix it and let them off the hook. Then they don't have to take any responsibility. My husband's father had two heart attacks, and his mother had a stroke and a heart attack.(Both have passed away.) He watches what he eats, and exercises, but we still feel Lipitor is the right choice for him. Each situation is unique, but I would not want any child taking a drug instead of trying other possible solutions. Good luck with your health, and thank you so much for writing!

I was at average height and I was and still am considered thin. Now at 16 years old I am 5'5 and 117 lbs. I take lipitor and zetia. My grandpa had several heart attacks, a stroke and eventually a heart transplant. If it weren't for lipitor, I would be surely in that direction. No amount of diet and exercise can control my cholesterol, it's all in the jeans. When I was 11 years old, my cholesterol was at 333. I was at average height and I was and still am considered thin.

If someone's an idiot and you motivate him, then you have a motivated idiot." -Jim Rohn Another BIG key to overcoming any addiction is reading. When I started working on my sugar addiction, I read everything I could get my hands on; Potatoes Not Prozac, Sugar Shock!, Sugar Blues, Lick the Sugar Habit, etc. It was what I had to do to create what Kessler calls a "Critical Perceptual Shift." I had to take sugar from a treat to a poison and I succeeded, thank God! “Life change starts with education, not inspiration.
