Willing to Change

I Am Willing to Change​
Our son Trey offers the inspirational thought for the week:
“I realize that the power to change my world is always within me and within reach.
At all times, I have a choice. I can choose to be trapped in the past, or I can choose to create a future that is instead, like the present.
In all situations, there is an opportunity. I am willing to see past pain to light.  I am willing to seek the hidden gift.
I am willing to release all negative beliefs. They are only thoughts that stand in my way.  My new thoughts are positive and fulfilling.”
- Louise Hay

​The D2 distalizing appliance was developed to simplify treatment of Class II cases during the initial stage of treatment. The patented D2 design treats to a Class I platform by the intra oral elastics forces.  Molars are distal rotated into their desired position.  Take advantage of early treatment patient cooperation.  Brackets can be placed during or after the Class I correction is completed.

You Have the Strength!

It’s been said that God only gives you what you can handle.
It’s also been said that this life is a school.
You may be in kindergarten, 
Or, more likely as you read this,
      You are likely in “Master’s or PhD classes” (Hard classes!)
Tony Robbins says it this way, “I've come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy. ”

For most of us, as we live day to day, 
we have so very many dreams for our future.

And then, if serious illness comes to us,
we have only one dream - to get well.

Let’s put everything we can into getting and staying well...
and dream for the future we have with our loved ones.

Love,

Because we want to be the best different self than we are now.

In This Time of Chaos.

​In this time of chaos and unknown, 
This reminds us of
The immense power of our minds
Connecting to our hearts,
Especially in the face of desperation..

"You can’t be angry and grateful at the same time. You can’t be fearful and grateful at the same time. You certainly can’t be jealous and grateful at the same time. The real gift of gratitude is that it eliminates these negative feelings and replaces them with peace and joy."   
- Tony Robbins

One of the J6’s used this for 366 days:
“Every single night while I was in prison, at 9pm, for 366 days I joined these men in singing our great national anthem with pride, gratitude, and determination.” 
⁃    John Strand

Emoto exposed water to words like “'love' or 'gratitude' and the water when frozen formed intricate, stunningly beautiful crystals.  But water exposed to negativity - words like 'hate' or 'desperate' produced chaotic, fractured, ugly formations."  
- Masaru Emoto (see image above)

Peace, love, gratitude for and to you,
