Sal DeFilippo - Saying ‘Thanks’ should be more than an annual affair

Thanksgiving has a different meaning to everyone.


For some, it’s about family, and spending time together. For others, it’s about stuffing yourself to the point where you can’t stuff any more. And for still others, it’s about watching football, sleeping, or preparing your strategy for Black Friday.


But there’s one common denominator – and it’s the obvious one. Thanksgiving, as it should be, it about giving thanks.


We are all grateful for things in our lives, and often take them for granted. But how frequently do we actually take the time to acknowledge those to whom we feel fortunate to have in our lives, whether as family, friends, colleagues or cohorts.


Amys-About-Me-Photo1-200x300 The truth is, this is something that we shouldn’t need a holiday to remind us to do, and it certainly shouldn’t be limited to once a year. So as you take the time to give thanks this year, add it to your 2014 calendar as perhaps a quarterly event.


It’s as much for your benefit as the people for whom you are showing gratitude. Since you have a week before the holiday, make a list of people/things/relationships you are truly thankful for in your life, and make a point to connect with all of them. Then be sure to save that list somewhere close by.


People love to be appreciated, and with good reason. And even though you’re sure a certain someone knows how grateful you are for their efforts, it ALWAYS feels great to hear it. And you know something? It feels great to SAY it, too!


I’m eternally thankful and indebted to those who have allowed me the privilege of getting to know them, coach them, and help them succeed over the years. If you’re in that group, THANK YOU!!! And thanks for everyone you tell about what I have to offer at amyapplebaum.com. Looking forward to many more connections and your help is invaluable and forever appreciated.


Have a healthy, happy and safe Thanksgiving weekend!

  Seeing Only Red in a Sea of Blue   In my talks, I often play this game with the audience. I ask them to look around the room and count how many red shirts there are. After half-a-minute, I tell them to close their eyes. I ask them, “Are you ready with your answer?” They all reply with a resounding yes. Then I ask them, “Okay. How many blue shirts did you see?” They burst out laughing. And they try to guess. But no one gets the right answer. Why? Because they weren’t focused on the blue shirts but on the red. The point of this little exercise is to show them that every reality, every situation, every circumstance always has many sides. But we only see one side! Always.   You’re Not a Grasshopper   Let me tell you one of my all-time favorite stories in the Bible. The Israelites who escaped Egypt (think “Ten Commandments” with Charlton Heston) were now at the edge of the Promised Land. Not knowing what it was like, they sent 12 spies to scout the land i...

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - My boyfriend’s messaging strange women

Question: Do you have any idea why a man would start instant messaging strange woman after being in a five year relationship. Said he was “stupid” and wasn’t physical with anybody. I guess you can say I have trust issues. Answers: Ouch! I am so sorry. Do I have any idea why? Here is what I have learned, first off I am really sorry because that really hurts. If you have trust issues especially, that would hurt and sting even more. So first something about trust and then something about men. Trust: When we trust, it’s not that we trust someone to be perfect. That sets us up for failure because no one is perfect and you can’t control anybody. That is insanity if we try to control another and put all of our power – making sure they be a certain way to so that we are safe. Instead, find that safety and trust inside you. That safety being that capacity to discern and know that come what may, you’ve got your own back – you can take care of yourself. It takes a lot of pressure off of other...

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - To MILF or not to MILF this Mothers Day

I don’t know if you have those to-do piles that just sit there, you WANT to get to them, you MEAN to get to them, and you OUGHT to get to them… while this video was in one of those piles. It took less than 10 minutes to do. Why did I put it off? Well if you’re like me, we only procrastinate with things we either don’t really want to do, or doing them will make us have to face something we’re not ready to face, internally or externally. We’re literally choosing not to face it and calling it procrastination. So I guess I didn’t want to face/own being a MILF. Really owning my badass queen Harley boots, pole dancing, MILF essence. I don’t even know what I’ve really made it all mean… just that I’m WAY more potent than I realize and my erotic creature is WAY overdue coming out to play, to create adventures, to embrace life and to shine!! So you know I call my women’s membership Redefining Sexuality , because I sure don’t care for the definition of sex or sexy… it’s void of honor, care and ...
