Time for some catching up.
The good news:
- Our last tax return showed NMSU that I need lots more financial aid.
- NMSU gave me lots more financial aid, including work study money.
- I now qualify as a New Mexico resident, so I can take more than six credit hours and still pay in-state tuition. I’m signed up for 16 credit hours this term.
- The NMSU Engineering department desperately needs a computer networking guy, and here’s this student with 20 years of experience who’s eligible for hire since he’s now a full-time student with work study money.
- They hired me.
- My fabulous wife Anna continues to build her life coaching and editing businesses. She now has repeat customers and books on the shelves
with her name in them.
- Honeywell bought my textbooks this year.
The bad news:
- My sister has become allergic to cats.
It could be a whole lot worse. For me and Anna, but perhaps not for Charis. She loves cats.
Your wife does life coaching and editing? There’s definately some stuff in my life I’d like to edit out, like the heart attack I had 12/27 (don’t worry, it was a little one, I was a walk in, my cardiologist said to consider it a wake up call). If I could only edit out some of those bacon double greaseburgers, and edit in some excercise… Is that what a life coach is for? Proof read the rough draft before living it?
Hi Marty,
Glad to hear you’re OK. Sounds like you got the best possible heart attack
I’m also glad you asked that question, it gives me a chance to talk about my favorite person.
My wife, Anna Paradox, is both a life coach and an editor of books. Two separate professions. Sorry if I was unclear.
She can’t edit your past life — but she can certainly work with you to edit your future life!
Life coaching is somewhat difficult to explain because it’s a fairly new field and isn’t yet part of our collective knowledgebase. Here’s how Anna describes it:
She might very well be able to help you get more exercise. Drop her an email if you’re interested. She’ll set up a free telephone appointment with you and the two of you then decide if Anna can help you. And/or sign up for her free weekly email newsletter.
And as for her editing, she uses her life coach training and skills to
She helped edit two recent poker books, Elements of Poker and Professional No-Limit Holdem.
She has a great little $27 package called From Wishing To Writing that can get you past whatever’s got you stuck. There’s even a free preview you can download immediately.
Clearly I’m biased, but I think she’s the greatest thing ever. Please check out her web sites if you’re interested.
Wishing you health and happiness,
Doug
