Have you told someone today how much you adore, admire, and appreciate them? Have you told yourself today how lovable and valuable you are just because you're you?

  DrDebzz Opening ShpielWhat are you doing to reduce your emotional, verbal, psychological, intellectual, existential, philosophical, metaphysical, spiritual, and material imprint thus preserving civilization for future generations? Are you utilizing your superpowers to achieve and attain your purpose, passion, and possible dreams or do you ignore innate instincts and intuition opting to stay stuck in unhealthy, unproductive, unfulfilling, unattractive, unethical behaviors? Do you prioritize and practice self care, setting boundaries, saying yes to number one even if it means no to others? Do you aspire to be "kind" rather than "nice" to those you care about, i.e. placing a preference on honesty, authenticity, vulnerability, candor, and constructive criticism? Sage advice: "No" is a complete sentence.  Say what you mean but don't say it mean! Guest CallerJeremy often butts heads with his Dad overthinking whether he might be rude or disrespectful and setting himself up to receive unwanted advice. DrDebzz offers a toolkit filled with various approaches and valuable concepts, e.g.  "No" to a loved one and "Yes" to yourself is saying "I Love You" and "I want our relationship to be as fruitful as possible." DrDebzz reminds Jeremy that those who push our buttons the most motivate our growth the most.  It helps to "Bless them, Change me."  When you change, the people around you change.    Weekly WOW (Words of Wisdom) Every time you praise, every time you appreciate, every time you feel good about something or someone including yourself, you're telling the Universe, "More of this, please.  More of this, please." - Abraham HicksConfidence Boosters/Esteem BuildersToday and every day, I savor all the gifts I am given--the totality of my external and internal senses that allow me to treasure my life.

 DrDebzz Opening ShpielBefore you can "Say Yes" to Life, you've got to be confident saying "no" to others and prioritizing the concept "to thine own self be true." Are you comfortable saying "no" or are you a perennial people pleaser putting other's perceived expectations before your own needs? It's the season to propagate, proliferate, proclaim, self-seed, self-sow your voice. Don't assume (or you'll become the first three letters in the word) others in your karass understand what makes you tick. Share your truth using the sixth language of love: https://youtu.be/_Hp9vDQt5J0 Celebrate the "no." No is a complete sentence. You never have to defend, explain, argue, excuse, or qualify.

 DrDebzz Opening Shpiel Words are a force so powerful they can literally put a spell on someone. Like black magic they can destroy everyone and everything in their path...or they can be used like luminous radiant magic to create camaraderie connection compassion beauty bliss brilliance. Now that our masks are coming off what will you be spewing from your lips? Will you stop pause and think before you speak spreading words that don't go against yourself or anyone else? Will you use language to disseminate personal poison by expressing anger, jealousy, envy, shame, blame, criticism, revenge and hate? Or will you scatter nurturing seeds to plant fertile grounds for love equanimity grace kindness forgiveness patience and tolerance? There are 86,400 seconds in a day.  Have you used one of those to express gratitude, to let someone know how much they matter, how they make your world a much better place just for being in it?   Guest Caller Smitty Smith from Los Angeles feels like he's a burden to his parents and strives to be more independent emotionally and spiritually.  He wants to learn how not to let his father's criticism and negativity get to him. Weekly WOW (Words of Wisdom) "Be Impeccable with Your Words." Being impeccable is not going against yourself. You go against yourself when you judge or blame yourself for anything. When you are impeccable you take responsibility for your actions, but you do not judge or blame yourself.  (Don Miguel Ruiz from "The Four Agreements") Confidence Boosters/Esteem Builders I have a clear sense of myself in any relationship. I am free from the fear, anger, or moodiness of others.  I can detach with love.    I can say yes to what I want and no to what I don't want.  The choice is mine.

 DrDebzz Opening Shpiel Lower your threshold for abuse, rage, racism, sexism, ageism, bigotry, discrimination. If you don’t tolerate hate, it will die. It will dissolve. It will disintegrate. Put down weapons of war, conflict, animosity, resentment. Put forth gifts of gentility, nobility, forgiveness, gratitude, love, kindness, patience, and compassion. America may be the wealthiest country materially, but spiritually we're the poorest. Only by prioritizing our most meaningful assets, i.e. righteous values, ethics, and morals, will we become a powerful, plenteous, prolific, profuse nation. In order to survive, thrive, flourish, and nourish, we must treat each other with honor, dignity, reverence, and respect at all costs. Guest Caller Peter from Encino is frustrated with the dating world because he doesn't feel there are "equal grounds" between men and women.  He believes men shouldn't have to expend all the energy and also be financially responsible for everything.  He's looking for a balanced relationship based on reciprocity.  Weekly WOW (Words of Wisdom) "Don't Make Assumptions. Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want.  Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstanding, sadness, and drama."  (Don Miguel Ruiz - The Third Agreement) Confidence Boosters/Esteem Builders Today I am willing to wake up and place my faith in LOVE.  I am waking up. I pray to remember that there is light at the end of the tunnel and that light is ME. I choose to stay cool calm and compassionate as I face the hot burning issues of the day or night.

She leaves you spellbound with her impeccable diction, great sense of phrasing, intonation, and gentle swing, showing an unaffected simplicity and inner lyricism that expresses more than all the high-soaring excesses of scat singers." (Serge Baudot, Jazz Hot, France) "Her secret, one shared by very few singers, is her ability to deliver the meaning of a lyric in her understated and hip-as-can-be way."

 DrDebzz Opening Shpiel Do you give freely without strings attached? Are you a scrooge emotionally, mentally, physically, intellectually, or spiritually? Are you the first to initiate generosity or is receiving a precursor to your gifting?  Do you keep score so you'll get an ample return on your investment of money, time, or attention? Do you withhold affection, compliments, or acts of service until you're confident you'll be rewarded the same, if not more? Do you speak words of love, kindness, compassion, patience, and tolerance or do you spew angry, hostile, hurtful, dismissive, demeaning language?  Do you share from a place of vulnerability and authenticity or do you don a fake front to impress and ingratiate? Expressing admiration, adoration, and appreciation is key to continuing civilization as we know it.  You can be the change you want to see in the world by lavishing others with warmth, tenderness, gentility, cordiality, nobility, sincerity, honesty, and intimacy.   Guest Caller Allen from Whittier seeks advice on finding a romantic involvement. He's frustrated that many women his age have let themselves go and are no longer appealing. DrDebzz directs Allen to look at the three fingers pointed back at him. Write In Question Maxwell of Lake Tahoe recently lost a good friend who suffered from severe depression leading to death. He's worried he might follow in her footsteps as he's been deeply down in the dumps since Covid began.   Weekly WOW (Words of Wisdom) "Don't Take Anything Personally." - Don Miguel Ruiz  "...If you keep this agreement, you can travel around the world with your heart completely open and no one can hurt you.  You can say, "I love you," without fear of being ridiculed or rejected.  You can ask for what you need  You can say yes, or you can say no-whatever you choose-without guilt or self-judgment.  You can choose to follow your heart always.  Then you can be in the middle of hell and still experience inner peace and happiness, and hell will not affect you at all..."  Confidence Boosters/Esteem Builders I recognize my full potential.
