5. In 2001, people aged 65 and older owned 31% of the U.S.’s financial as-sets. By 2040, it is estimated they will hold 44% of the country’s financialassets. (5)

7. In 2008, nearly one-third (32%) of those 65and older depended on Social Security for 80% ormore of their income. The average monthly Social Se-curity benefit at the beginning of 2012 was about $1,230.(7)8. Centenarians — those over age 100 — are thefastest-growing demographic group in the U.S. Be-tween 2000 and 2010, this group roughly doubledin size. In 2010, nearly 85% of centenarians werewomen. (8)

This year, four alumni received an Alumni Pillar of Achieve-ment. The honorees were Kevin Elster, Major League BaseballPlayer (retired), Rick Lara, educator and coach, Chief ToddMattern, Chief of Police, City of Los Alamitos, and BrandeeWilliams, educator. All four alumni attributed their success toa great start at Golden West, naming faculty and coaches whomade a difference in their lives.

Two Pillars of Support were added this year– The Coast Community CollegeDistrict Foundation Pillar, and The Wells Fargo Pillar. A Pillar of Support repre-sents a cash gift from an individual or business of $25,000 or more.

It’s inevitable that ultimately most, if not all of us will need somekind of home-care as we get older. Some of us have alreadyhad the unfortunate task ofdealing with this issue in re-gards to a loved one, and

some are still searching for theright company while time isquickly running out.

The problem with choosing thebest home care for you or yourloved one is that you want some-one who will be like a family mem-ber - someone you can really becomfortable with - but at a costyou can afford. Many high-pricedhome care companies sound like agreat option, but at the end of the day they are unaffordable.

Started 13 years ago by Li Cutler, a registered nurse with a deeppassion for helping others in their time of need,PrimeCare QualityHome Care was created specifically to fill this niche in the homecare industry. Throughout the years, they have helped many fami-lies through the stressful and overwhelming process that is homecare. PrimeCare is currently owned and operated by Li’s son AlexTsai, a solider who returned home from his first tour of duty in Iraqto discover that his mother had been diagnosed with metastaticgastric adenocarcinoma, a form of stomach cancer. Alex was ableto see her through her initial surgery before he was then deployedto Kosovo. After his mother passed away, Alex was discharged fromthe military and returned home to run the family business. Hewanted to continue to grow his mother’s legacy with the intentionof providing low-cost care with top-quality, family-oriented service.

From Tragedy to Triumph:PrimeCare Quality Home Care

Since its inception, PrimeCare has grown entirely on word-of-mouth referrals - something virtually unheard of intoday’s challenging economic climate. Client after client hasremarked that PrimeCare is unlike any other home carebusiness, and that they step up to the plate in every way.

Since Alex has taken over the helm, the business is moresuccessful than ever. Rooted in the traditional, personal-

ized realm of what the true meaning of home care is and mixed withnew, modern updates has continued to make,PrimeCare the onlychoice for your needs.

“What really sets us apart from the other companies is we don’t justsend someone over to care for you or your loved one,” says Alex.“We try our best to match our clients with our caregivers, so every-one feels comfortable and secure. You should feel like a friend ishelping you, not a stranger. We also put our potential staff througha tough interview process to ensure we are hiring only the best. Mymother instilled these qualities in the business and I believe that iswhy we have had so much success.

When choosing a home-care provider, care and compassion shouldbe at the top of the list. When Alex’s mother created PrimeCare, she

opened with the intention that theorganization would be on-call 24/7,no matter what. That’s why Prime-Care is so amazing, they under-stand that emergencies canhappen in the middle of the nightand without warning. Their all-ac-cess number can be reached anytime, and their services are alwaysavailable to you. PrimeCare cur-rently services Orange County, LosAngeles County, Riverside Countyand the Inland Empire.

PrimeCare’s past clients, like DougShilling of Shilling Construction, speak to the success of the com-pany to date.

“The final few months of our mother’s life was made much morepleasant by your company’s presence,” he says. “We would have hada much more difficult time in dealing with the constant care neededhad your services not been available. It was wonderful to know thatwe did not have to worry about her care, knowing that we could com-pletely trust that she was well cared for. We recommend your Prime-Care without reservation to anyone needing care for a loved one.”

Once you decide that now is the best to buy a home, you’llbe faced with many choices. Knowing your options andhaving all the information is the best way to help makethe right decisions. You’ll need to start looking at whereand when to apply, and what type of mortgage will be

right for you.

When to ApplySome people wait until after they make an offer on a home to getapproved for a mortgage, but it is best to do it beforehand. Why?

� It lets sellers know you are a serious buyer. Many sellers will notconsider offers from those without pre-approval.� It gives you a limit as to what homes to look at. Why put an offeron a house that would require a $500,000 mortgage if you can onlyget a $300,000 mortgage?� You do not have to rush to find financing after your offer is ac-cepted.

A lender can either pre-qualify you or pre-approve you. With pre-qualification, you are given an estimate of what you can afford. Itis not a guarantee. When you are pre-approved, you get a commit-ment from the lender to provide a mortgage for up to a specificamount, barring any major financial changes or problems with thehouse. If you are just starting to look and not sure when you aregoing to buy, getting pre-qualified is sufficient. However, once yourhome search turns serious, it is a good idea to get pre-approved.The pre-approval typically lasts for 60-90 days.

Application criteriaLenders consider many factors when deciding whether or not toapprove a loan and how much to approve you for. They typically in-clude your credit score, the down payment amount and your otherassets, your employment history, your income and your existingdebt.

Finding a lenderApplying at financial institutions where you already have a pre-ex-isting relationship is often a good place to start. Most credit unionsincluding NuVision offer a complete line of mortgage products thatare designed to fit your financial needs. Many financial expertsagree that getting a mortgage at a credit union is less intimidating.

Now to decide which type of mortgage loan is right for you and yourlong-term financial goals.

Mortgage InsightDeciding on and Applying for the Right Mortgage Loan

by Irene Lizarraga

Mortgage typesFixed-rate mortgage: Fixed-rate mortgages come with an interestrate that remains constant over the life of the loan. The interest rateis usually initially higher than for other types of mortgages. How-ever, because the interest rate and monthly payment are fixed, theyprovide a stability that is appealing to many buyers.

Adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM): ARMs have a period of fixed in-terest, after which the interest rate and payment adjust at specificintervals. In general, the interest rate and monthly payment for anARM start off lower than for a fixed-rate mortgage of the sameamount. However, they often become higher once a few adjust-ments occur. An ARM may be a good option for people who plan tosell in a few years or expect their income to increase significantly,but it can be risky. If you cannot afford the payment increase, youmay lose your home.

Mortgage termsThe term refers to the length of the loan. The traditional mortgageterm is 30 years, but it can range from 10 to 40 years. In general,the shorter the term, the lower the interest rate. You get a lowerpayment with a longer term, but you wind up paying more in inter-est over the life of the loan (not just because of the higher interestrate but also because you are borrowing for a longer period of time).

Government programsLoans offered through federal government programs can come withmore attractive features than conventional loans. The two mostpopular ones are:

VA loans: VA loans are insured by the Department of Veterans Af-fairs and are only available to eligible veterans. No down paymentis required.

FHA loans: FHA loans are insured by the Federal Housing Admin-istration, a division of HUD (the Department of Housing and UrbanDevelopment). A down payment of at least 3.5% is required.

Many states and cities have programs specifically for first-timehomebuyers. They make it easier to buy a home by offering suchthings as down payment assistance, below-market-rate units, and/orlow-interest loans.

f I’m addressingthe 1% of thepopulation thathasn’t seen theu b e r - p o pu l a r“Pawn Stars”show on A&E, I’mhere to tell youthat pawn shopshave come a longway, and we are solucky to have ourown version righthere in Surf City.

The HuntingtonBeach-based Hunt-ington Super Pawnis the place people

have been shopping for top-of-theline (though smartly discounted) dia-monds, musical equipment, electron-ics, tools, and so much more. Theyensure everything is clean, in excel-lent working order, and above all:priced to sell. They are always in themarket for your gently used goods,whether to pawn or sell. Perhaps their13 year long success is largely attrib-uted to the fact that they offer betterprices (pawn or otherwise) on theirgoods than anyone in the area. Theystrive for premium customer satisfac-tion in everything they do.

Owner Randy Wooten is very grateful for how large his business hasgrown, “Business would not be nearly as successful today without thetremendous dedication, sacrifice, and hard work that my family andemployees have contributed throughout the years. And, of course, ourcustomers - to whom we strive to please daily deserve a huge recog-nition for their support and devotion they have given to us.”

Surprisingly, pawning or selling items have become a very smart movewhen downsizing or cleaning out the house. If you’ve never done this

before, it’s easy. You can choose be-tween selling an item or getting aloan on the item’s worth. Typically,if you decide to sell it to the shop,they will offer you a higher amountof worth. If a loan is what you reallyneed, they will give you 120 days torepay the amount (plus interest).Graciously, Huntington SuperPawn does not increase interestuntil the third month. If this is aprocess you are interested in, weurge you to speak to any of theirhighly educated staff.

Perhaps the real reason Hunting-ton Super Pawn is so successfulis because of their staff! Theylove to step out behind thecounter and show you around,pull out a tray of earrings, orhelp you choose the right guitar

Question: What is a laser and how does it work?Answer: A laser is an instrument that produces a very narrow, intense beam oflight energy. When laser light comes in contact with tissue, it causes a reaction. Thelight produced by the laser can remove or shape tissue.

Q: What are the benefits of using dental lasers?A: By using lasers in lieu of traditional dental tools, dentists today may not need touse a drill or administer anesthesia in some procedures, allowing the patient toenjoy a more relaxed dental experience.

Laser procedures can be more precise and can reduce symptoms and healing timesassociated with traditional therapies, reduce the amount of bacteria in both dis-eased gum tissue and in tooth cavities and control bleeding during surgery.

Q: Are dental lasers safe?A: If the dental laser is used according to accepted practices by a trained practi-tioner, then it is at least as safe as other dental instruments. However, just as youwear sunglasses to protect your eyes from prolonged exposure to the sun, whenyour dentist performs a laser procedure, you will be asked to wear special eye-glasses to protect your eyes from the laser.

Q: How can I be sure my dentist is properly trained to use a laser?A: Ask your dentist questions about the extent of his or her laser education andtraining. Make sure that your dentist has participated in educational courses andreceived training by the manufacturer of the specific laser used in his or her prac-tice. Many dental schools, dental associations and the Academy of Laser Dentistry(ALD) offer dental laser education and serves as the profession's independentsource for current dental laser education and credentialing.

I’m often asked by my patients if they can purchase their medications from online phar-macies. I always respond with a resounding NO! My advice is supported by a recent FDAreport warning consumers about the dangers of buying medications from the more than40,000 online pharmacies. The report estimates 70% of online pharmacies may be il-legal and sell drugs of questionable quality and purity.

Furthermore, don’t be fooled by online pharmacies that claim they work with doctors. I askyou, what reputable, licensed doctor would put his or her license on the line prescribing drugsfor patients they have never met?

Let me outline a few of the signicant dangers of ordering medications from online pharmacies:• QUALITY - What’s in the medication you are purchasing online? If the online pharmacyclaims they can sell you a brand name drug that costs $10 per pill in a retail store for $3,where are they getting it from? Brand name manufacturers are not likely to provide the med-ication for a fraction of what it costs normally. If it’s a brand name product then there’s nogeneric equivalent. So what is actually in the pill that you purchase?

• PURITY and ACCURACY - One of the reasons that medications are so expensive is that themanufacturing process is strictly regulated to ensure that there is purity and accuracy in thepreparation. Is the stated amount of a medicine correct? In other words is 250 mg really 250mg or are there a lot of fillers and binders? If the medication doesn’t contain the exact dosage,you won’t get the benefit you’re expecting and the health consequences can be severe.

• CONTAMINATION - If an online pharmacy is compounding a drug, are they doing it in a ster-ile environment? Has the medication been contaminated with bacteria or viruses? Weremasks and gloves used by the personnel involved in the manufacturing process? As the cur-rent meningitis outbreak due to improper manufacturing processes at the New England Com-pounding Pharmacy demonstrates, serious impurities can infect the products made by theseonline compounding pharmacies. Those impurities can, in turn, cause death or serious ill-nesses from infections to gastrointestinal problems.

Please be careful when purchasing your medications. Remember - you get what you pay for!

Start a New Family Tradition at AlisalGuest Ranch and Resort



by Jody RobinsonNestled in the scenic rolling hills of the lush Santa Ynez Valley, Alisal is a full-service 10,000-acre, all-inclusive resort/dude ranch experience that combines the elegance and comfort of the western lifestylewith a working cattle ranch where 2,000 head of cattle and 100-quarter horses leisurely graze.

Beautifully manicured lawns characterize the grounds of the main “resort” - connecting 73 Califor-nia ranch-style cottage studios and suites to restaurants and recreational facilities.

Historical perspectiveSince 1843 when conquistador Raimundo Carrillo received a land grant and became the first cattlerancher of the Santa Ynez Valley, the Alisal (meaning "grove of sycamores" in Chumash, a NativeAmerican language) established itself as a working cattle ranch. In 1943, the property was purchasedby The Jackson Family and evolved into a guest ranch. The exclusive hideaway opened its doors tosummer vacationers with 30 initial guestrooms converted into bungalows.

The Alisal’s rich heritage and idyllic setting make it a haven for rest and relaxation and one of Amer-ican’s most prestigious properties boasting a well preserved civilizedpast. Couples honeymoon here, families enjoy reunions and executivesfind a welcome respite from urban life.

In our case, we were looking for a brief respite from the day-to-day with-out having to travel too far from home. While Alisal is only a three tofour hour drive from Orange County, it feels worlds away – the propertyis blessed with an abundance of wildlife and hiking trails meanderaround the resort's rich flora and fauna (nature lovers can take a self-guided hike through Deer Canyon where some 64 different animals in-cluding deer, possums, bobcats, mountain lions, wild boar and blackbears reside).

Back at the ranch, children as well as adults can participate in the caringof the ponies, bottle-feeding the goats, calves, exotic miniature horsesand sheep seven days a week at The Alisal Barn Yard. Our kids (ages 5and 4) loved “riding” Cactus (a gentle horse tethered to a tree duringthe day so the resort’s youngest guests can have their parents lead them around the corral attheir leisure). Kids can also participate in egg gathering, grooming and exercising the animalsin the corral.

A recreation center unto itself, the 100-acre spring fed Alisal Lake, filled with bass; trout; and bluegill,offers “catch-and-release” fishing. You can rent a boat or fish off the dock – our son caught his firstfish (a Bigmouth Bass reeled in with Daddy’s help) by casting (also with Daddy’s help) from the dock.This sportsman's paradise attracts bird watchers and guests with canoes, rowboats, peddle boats,kayaks or sail boats. As one of two California properties to be an Orvis-endorsed fly-fishing opera-tion, Alisal offers fly-fishing and boating lessons for children and adults.

Visitors rarely leave the Alisal during their stay and for good reason. Leaving at dawn, guests enjoymore than 50 miles of equestrian trails on horseback circling the magnificent hills and sycamore groves.Twice daily group rides, private rides and breakfast rides to the historicAdobe Camp round out a stay.Aspiring equestrians can hone their riding skills at the corral with private lessons. Children delight inthe Alisal Rodeo with stick horse and gunny sack races and boot relays in an authentic western arena.

Wranglers show off with quick drawdemonstrations, calf roping and barrel rac-ing. Following the rodeo is an extravagantwestern barbecue with live entertainmentand traditional line dancing.

Frontier fareThe Ranch Room, the resort’s restaurant,serves American and western style fa-vorites. Guests enjoy a choice of a heartya la carte American breakfast menu itemsthat include Linguisa scrambled eggs overa Grilled Portobello Mushroom, savoryHuevos Rancheros and the Alisal's ownButtermilk Pancakes. A lavish Ranch Roombreakfast buffet of Eggs Benedict andCorn Beef Hash is also served with freshlysqueezed orange juice and homemadebaked muffins, pastries and breads.

Dinner is formal (dinner jackets are re-quired for men) and frontier-size portionsof juicy barbecued steaks, tender prime ribof beef and the fresh catch of the day in-cluding swordfish, John Dory and Seabassare guest favorites.

At the historic Adobe Camp, the resorttreats guests to a full ranch breakfast in-cluding buttermilk flapjacks, scrambleeggs, bacon, sausage, ham and more com-plete with a whimsical performance byJake Copass, resident wrangler and cow-boy poet, accompanied by Dave Stamey,the Alisal's award-winning singing cowboyon guitar.

AccommodationsAlisal’s 73 guest units are decorated inclassic California ranch design and config-ured as either comfortable studios or spa-cious one-bedroom suites. Each unit,designed for maximum privacy and com-fort, includes a wood-burning fireplacewith complimentary firewood; high-beamed ceilings; Western art; refrigerator;coffee maker (coffee and tea supplied inrooms), and filtered water dispenser. Tomaintain the cozy, quiet atmosphere,there are no in-room televisions or tele-phones; however, complimentary wirelessInternet is available throughout the ranch.

Itruly believe you can fall in love with a freshlybaked good. There’s just something to be saidabout breaking open a warm croissant- thesteam gently reminding you of what’s reallyimportant in life: the little things. It’s almost

easier said then done-um-eaten to find a bakery

that uses the freshest ingredients and considers local food sourcing a way of life. But that’sexactly what the people at Baguetier Artisan Bakery do.

Baguetier’s Executive Pastry Chef Joel Reno followed his dream of baking fresh specialtycroissants and macaroons all the way from his hometown to 4-star restaurants and nowto Huntington Beach. “My inspiration was a passion for great pastry, bread, and coffee.We believe everyone should take the time to slow down and enjoy life. Treat yourself tosomething special.”

We think using the word ‘special’ is too modest, especially when you walk in the door andsee baked works of art. Customers line up for the chance to snag the fresh-baked fare to

take home for dinner, and coffee enthusiasts proudly argue the peopleat Baguetier know their way around a coffee bean. And now that they’recreating their fall menu (selections are so fresh, they are always sea-sonal), people can’t stop raving about everything from their Nutella mo-chas (yes, that’s what I said, Nutella mochas!) to their oh-so irresistiblefamous chocolate croissant.

This is exactly the kind of secret locally known place you wander into andwonder how you’ve been living life without it! Huntington Beach localswon’t be pleased the word is out about this amazing bakery, but the needfor incredibly baked goods in this world far outweighs waiting in line an

extra few minutes! In fact, it’s almost guaranteed you’ll say, “Wow- I have lived in Hunting-ton Beach for so long and wish I would have found this place so much sooner…!” because,I for one, heard that sentence at least three times when I was in line for my macaroons!

Next time you’re out and about, planning your office party or special event, stop byBaguetier Artisan Bakery. Check their facebook for pics, specials, and updated menu ideas.


ust south of us, a revolution hasbeen brewing for years – literally. It’sa craft beer renaissance that is put-ting San Diego on the brewer’s mapin a big way. Visionaries young andold are producing beers that rivalthe world’s long-celebrated bests,drawing aficionados from all overthe globe. Fortunately for those of

us in Orange County, a visit down to many ofthese groundbreaking breweries is a simpleday trip, a reality for which every OC-basedbrew fan should be praising the heavens.

As the beer has developed, so has the indus-try around it. It’s “trickle down brewconomics”– great beer begets manifold tour services.You quickly realize that with all the amazingbrews to sample, nobody will want to be thedesignated driver; and at the end of the hop,

everyone will want to land in a spot where the journey just experi-enced can be savored.

The folks at Rancho Bernardo Inn, situated ideally near the brew-haha,have the situation dialed in. Their tasting packages leave everyonesatisfied. Look for the “Look What’s Brewing” package that includesaccommodations, a chauffeured tour to local breweries (includingtasting tickets), and breakfast the morning after to boot. (Hint: If youhave a beer lover in your life, this package just might be the best giftever given – send him or her with a growler and perhaps you’ll get lit-tle something in return).

My friends and I took up the offer and made it a guy’s weekend. FromRancho Bernardo our first stop was Iron Fist, one of the newest brew-eries on the scene. In its second year, this family-owned brewery hascaptured the attention of beer critics and average ale lovers alike, notonly for its award winning eclectic brews, but also because, when it

J

Tasting at Lost Abbey

opened, the mastermind behind its flavors had just turned 21. Despitethe youth of its brewmaster, Iron Fist is producing a sophisticatedlineup of flavors. (I highly recommend the Velvet Glove, an oatmealstout with rich, dark chocolate and coffee). If you’re lucky enough, per-haps Grandpa will come out and tell you a joke. Anxious to get on tothe next brewery, we skipped the hot dog stand out front and piledback into the limo. Fortunately for us, inside was a picnic basket filledwith all sorts of tasty snacks to keep our mouths stimulated (thanks,Rancho Bernardo!).

Next up was a combination of two breweries in one: Lost Abbey andPort Brewing. Lost focuses on more traditional Belgian-style beers, em-ploying oak bourbon, brandy, sherry, and wine barrels for their agingtechniques. Port, on the other hand, lauds west coast (read Californian)inspired beers. Same company, just different demographics. Both sidesoffer beers robust in both flavor and alcohol content, so sip slowly andbe sure to check out the great “religious” paintings that cover most of

the walls. Memorable beers herewere Hop 15 (Port Brewing) andJudgement Day (Lost Abbey).

While there’s only so much to pilein to one tour, the area has a lotto offer. You could spend daystouring the county and still nottaste it all; that’s how rich SanDiego’s craft brew scene has be-come. Some notable destina-tions in the northern regioninclude Stone Brewery (knownfor its welcoming grounds al-most as much as for its beer)and Ballast Point, whoseSculpin IPA is one of SanDiego’s most popular brew ex-ports. And if you make time to

find repast at a pub that showcases the local beer scene, all thebest San Diego breweries can be found right there at your table,paired with food that makes their flavors shine. (See sidebar onURGE Gastropub.)

The Rancho Bernardo Inn is known mainly for its championshipgolf course, but you don’t have to be a golfer to appreciate the lux-ury accommodations, award-winning restaurants and sprawling,peaceful grounds. We were never more thankful we had launchedfrom the Inn as when we came back to it, washed in some of theworld’s best craft brew and swimming in good times had with goodfriends. Breakfast the next morning in the fresh air at the Inn’s Ve-randa Fireside Lounge, before heading back to reality just 45 min-utes north, was a tidy (and delicious) way to wrap up an experiencethat with any luck we’ll all be able to enjoy again.

One of the best pieces of advice Iwas ever given is this: whentraveling or looking for amazingshopping/beauty hotspots, al-ways ask the locals where theygo. Most tourism shopping sug-

gestions are bought and paid for, but noth-ing beats an amazing local reputation. That being said,CloudMover Day Spa in Huntington Beach isn’t just theplace where the locals go, it’s been voted the #1 DaySpa on OC Hotlist for three consecutive years. Wow.

CloudMover is famously known as being client focused, and their talented staff is de-voted to doing whatever they can to make sure you look and feel fantastic beforeyou walk out their door. They know there are many day spas and plenty of places youcan be pampered, but CloudMover is all about giving you the professional experiencewithout the snotty attitude or exorbitant costs.

At a very young age my dad taught me what it means to make a commitmentand stick to it. He was the most committed person I’d ever met, if he saidhe would be somewhere you just knew he would be there. His friends andcoworkers used to say, “You know if Bob said he would do it, it would getdone.” It was said as such a great compliment.

I remember thinking to myself as an impressionable child; “I want people to say thatabout me!” I would speak to my dad about it, I remember it vividly. He said, “It startswith following through with commitments you make to yourself.” He told me that inorder for you to be someone people can count on, you have to be true to commit-ments you make to yourself first.

"Your commitment to yourself is every bit asimportant as your commitment to others. Makethat commitment to yourself count first."

by Paul Fetters

Living with Integrity &Finding Balance

He explained to me, if you can’t follow throughwith your own commitments how could you becounted on to be there for others?

It starts with little things as a child - make yourbed, eat breakfast, do your homework, do whatyou say you are going to do even if no one else iswatching.

I can honestly say that every time I made a com-mitment to compete in bodybuilding at one pointor another I wanted to quit, but I never did. Iwould remember what my dad said to me. “Everytime you make a commitment to yourself, youneed to keep it!” I always did, and it served mewell in other parts of my life.

How good are you at keeping your word? Manyof us try very hard to keep our commitments toothers. We try to call if we say we will. We makeevery effort to show up when others are countingon us. We try to get projects done on time. Wedon't promise things we can't deliver.

We want our word to be worth something. That'spart of living with integrity.

Unfortunately, many of us are not quite as goodat keeping our commitments to ourselves. Howmany times have you said, "I'm going to. . .” onlyto have that intention fall away? “I’m going toslow down, I'm going to lose weight, I'm going toget my life in order, I'm going to exercise regu-larly, I'm going to watch less T.V. and spend moretime reading, I'm going to get to bed at a decenthour." Sound familiar?

Do we really mean what we are saying? If so, weneed to make a COMMITMENT to follow throughon the things we are promising ourselves in justthe same way that we would if we were makingthose promises to someone else.

Ultimately, it ends up all coming back to yourword. How much is your word worth? If you can'thonor your commitments to yourself and/or oth-ers, your life is likely to feel out of control and outof balance due to not living with integrity.

If you are good at honoring your commitments toothers, but don't do as well at honoring commit-ments to yourself, look at this issue honestly.Your commitment to yourself is every bit as im-portant as your commitment to others. Make thatcommitment to yourself count first.
