Hi Chandra,
First, I would like to say that I watch you on Daytime and I can not express enough how powerful and to the point I feel your advice is. It is not any of the "well, what do you think you should do" mantras we sometimes hear from professional psychiatrists, etc. It is simply put, right between the eyes advice about what to do in the here and now. I applaud you for how well you seem to express this. I am so very, very impressed by your advice to people.

Chandra, I LOVE your daily lessons! They have helped me so much. And both your books were wonderful. (Yes, I trashionalized all the time!) And, good news - my husband I were getting divorced. I made him read parts of your books, which were SO us! He has now agreed to go to counseling for 6 months. In exchange I won't file for divorce during that time, giving him time to straighten up. Who knows what will happen during that time, but both of us are finally happy with ourselves. Yay.
Keep up the good lessons! Viva Las Vegas.
