Wow, Valentines day just seems to jump up out of nowhere.  Just through Christmas and New Years and here we are back at the stores buying stuff again.

I want to send a message to everyone who may be single this year – it is from a poem that I may include reference to in my next newsletter  and it is something that I have believed for a long time.  The newsletter will be posted at http://www.thewaveriders.com

You cannot meet the person that is perfect for you until you have developed to become the person who is perfect for him or her.

This means if you are single – it is not that you are being punished and is more likely that you are developing still.  Be at peace with who you are and find comfort in being with yourself.

Happy soon to be Valentines Day – I just like the chocolate!

Check out the charting online that helps us to discover what is pushing and pulling our moods.  You might find you have a food allergy or that at a particular day of the week you feel great or you feel miserable and be able to recognize a pattern.

Happy New Year Everyone.

Lots more coming in 2010 – our Mood Charting should be online within a week or so.  Have a few Interviews in January and we are doing our Blog Talk Radio show January as well.  I hope you have a fun and safe New Years Eve.

Merry Christmas Everyone from all of us at The Wave Riders

Just released the digital version of my book
10 Revelations in the Leap from Lawn Chairs to Limos
by Indigo Irwin Kennedy
Ten remarkable Secrets held within the journey through poverty and back again! How an overachiever – achieved bankruptcy then bounced back to success and joy through faith and discovery. Unlock the 10 secrets that only this journey could reveal! A sometimes humorous reflective journey into the poverty patterns we create in our lives.
Hope you enjoy it.

The Wave Riders will introduce and release for sale within one week Indigo Irwin Kennedy’s second book titled:

10 Revelations in the leap from Lawn Chairs to Limos! 

How an overachiever – achieved bankruptcy and bounced back to success and joy through faith and discovery – Unlock the remarkable 10 secrets that only this journey through poverty and back again could reveal! A reflective journey into the sometimes humorous poverty patterns we create in our lives and how a little faith can go a long way home!  Learn how to bounce back from the bottom of bankruptcy and poverty. 

The final bottom; macaroni and cheese suppers for weeks and old, garage sale, broken lawn chairs for living room furniture.  So broken and old were our lawn chairs that our rear ends rested comfortably on the carpeted floor below.  Being over 40 when poverty hit, I thought it would be with me forever but life had other plans and gave to me 10 revelations that anyone could use that turned my world around and rooted deeply to build my life back up again.   it seemed a blur of unexpected, universally driven activity until  I stood only a few years later amazed when broken down lawn chairs turned into Limos and Caribbean cruise vacations.

 When released will be available only in digital format $14.95

Why am I not surprised when I hear that John Wetteland of the Seattle Mariners was hospitalized in Texas after police responded to a possible suicide attempt?

Let’s looks at some recent comments from The News Tribune about John:

“Wetteland’s eccentric, intense personality helped the Mariners bullpen form a tight bond in 2009, and he mentored first-time closer Aardsma from early in spring training.”…  “A musician with a passion for rock music – and a collection of electric and accoustic guitars, which he often traveled with – is 43 and married with four children.”

John’s sounds very typical of our creative, talented, intelligent people that are constantly overworking and under stress to perform.  Stress equals adrenaline and coritsol – the fight or flight response that helps John to perform but it will also leave him vulnerable to the lows of depression.  I hope that John will see that it is not personal…he is not flawed – only on the downward wave of the high adrenaline ride – severe suicidal thoughts – you bet!  When you have used up all the high of adrenaline there are no chemicals left to be anything but depressed and often suicidal.

My thoughts go out to John and his family durign this tough time.  I would love for us to be able to realize that we must build in an allowance for our super-talent to have  more balance and rest to prevent the downturn to depression.  John is not alone and I think more will follow.  I believe that awareness of the waves of our emotions and then positive action to balance the stress is the prevention that is the  key to helping our hard working loved ones to succeed without mental illness and suicide.  A report in September 2009 said that 8 million Americans contemplated suicide – that is a low number and only the people that admitted it.  We must deal with the prevention of depression rather than the medication of a nation! I hope that he will realize that “depression” is not part of his personality – I believe it (among other things) may only be a result of constant pressure and work.

If you are looking for a great gift that lasts for longer than Christmas Morning why not give a membership to http://www.TheWaveRiders.com and you will give the gift of mood charting and video training along with special bonus items.  The Wave Riders is more than just a book about depression it is a community of intelligent, creative people learning to honor their gifts and to become the best that they can be.

While I was away in New York City my Web Team launched the new website.  I am really pleased with the new way that we have organized the information to help visitors to participate and grow the discussion area.  We did not move over past discussion posts from the old site but we are looking at ways to bring them over.  The Video Training has started and the online mood charting is an exciting addition.  I will write more about how we can use the mood charting to help us to identify our personal emotional wave patterns and to compare our moods to our activities; what we ate, how we slept and excersized.  We can print out the charts to take them to our doctors or our nutritionists.  We may even find an unknown allergy to certain foods.

We are in a state of almost constant revision to keep improving our offerings, our website and our communication with our readers and now we even offer memberships to help keep in contact and to bring to you the most recent and valuable finding.

We appreciate your patience and please do feel free to offer suggestions to improve even more.

I hope you will enjoy the new  TheWaveRiders.com
