By their handwriting…you shall know them!
January 25, 2012 – 11:29 pm
Since I’ve been a certified handwriting analyst for over 20 years, I thought you might find some of these facts interesting. I use handwriting as a tool for coaching, team building, testifying in court, hiring, entertainment (trade shows, events and parties) and romantic compatibility. By their handwritings…you shall know them!
What is Graphology? It was coined from the Greek Graph, which means writing and suffixology, which is applied to the names of scientific study. It is the professional term for handwriting analysis. I call it the blueprint of our brain. The art or science of deducing character, disposition, aptitudes, truthfulness, courage, leadership and much more.
How did writing first begin. Legend tells us that it was begun by the ancient Egyptian God Thorn, who is pictured with the face of the sacred bird called “The Ibis.” The story goes that he used a flat reed pen, crushed to the softness of a brush in his hands. He held his bill in the muddy banks of the nile and writing was born.
As early as the 11th century, a chinese philosopher and painter name Jo-Hau had declared that handwriting infallibly shows us whether it comes from a vulgar or noble-minded person.
In 1622 Camillo Baldi, doctor and professor at the University of Bologna, and a famous scholar of his day, asserted that it was obvious that all persons wrote in their own peculiar way and that in private letters everyone used characteristic forms, which could not be truly imitated by anyone else. The artist Gainsborough invariable kept before him, while he was working on a portrait, the handwriting of his subject. Aesop, Aristotle, Julius Caesar and Cicero were among the outstand personalities of ancient days who advocated the study of handwriting, in order to know the character of a person.
Sir Walter Scott, Disraeli and Robert Browning were students of Graphology. In Germany, graphology has been studied in connection with the subject of psychology. I coach students and I use it for vocational guidance. What career would be good for their natural talent and ability. I help to guide my clients with their compatibility and relationships.
The only thing that handwriting does not reveal is the sex, whether male or female. It is very easy to recognize the handwriting of the bookkeeper, the engineer and the artist. An individual’s handwriting, combined with my instincts provides me with a great deal of accuracy. The tool has been valuable and enlightening in reference to human nature.

The truth about finding courage in difficult times!
January 16, 2012 – 9:10 pm
We all live with fear, even when our lives are stable, but the percentage we choose to live with, at this point in time, is up to us. Believe it or not, it’s our choice! If we take the time to nurture our ability to trust and have faith, we can openly fight our fear. Our happiness and freedom depends on replacing fear with courage.
I teach a workshop for students at colleges across the country. It is called “Who’s In Charge Of Your Life?” When I ask this question, I encourage them to answer, “I am”. In fact, I give them a bracelet engraved with the words “I Am”. They love wearing it, as the bracelet provides a constant reminder of their strength.
If we are to build our courage and freedom we cannot be overly self-critical. We can never feel good enough if we constantly criticize ourselves, create mountains out of molehills, and worry, worry, worry. Most people fear change, even though it may benefit them. They stay in the wrong jobs, endure the wrong relationships and destroy their ability to act upon their dreams. Of course we are living in a scary time, because we cannot control what other people do. Therefore, we need to motivate ourselves with a burning passion to brave any danger or endure any trial.
Worry is a form of fear — a thin stream of poison trickling through the mind. It will cause uncertainty and doubt. When worry becomes habitual, it forms a channel into which all our thoughts are drained, producing discouragement and depression.
Intuition is a powerful ally. It can serve as a loyal advisor and guide us toward making wise decisions. If we believe in our intuition, we can take a huge step toward fighting our fear. We all have basic instincts if we do not destroy them with too much anxiety, intensity, detail, structure, perfection — Blah,Blah,Blah. Insight gives us the power to deal with fear of the unknown. It helps us to try something new without waiting for the next shoe to drop. Risk, dare life and make your dreams come true! Start your day with good humor! Smile at yourself in the mirror! Be upbeat and love who you are! Do this on a daily basis and fear will be afraid of you!
Welcome to my first blog…Why telling the truth has become my mission in life!
December 21, 2011 – 10:19 pm
As a coach, motivational speaker, writer, and fun-loving spirit I can never lie. I impart that to my clients and thank goodness I’ve been successful. As you see from my website my motto is “What You Think You Become. What You Believe You are!” That motto is all about finding your own truth. I thought writing this blog might help you understand why I chose truth in my teachings. It is all I know!
I am an only child, who was born in the Chicago Housing Projects. The projects were just built, so everything was brand new. The rent was very low and most of the people who lived there were poor. I never thought I was poor, because I had a marvelous father. He was unbelievably honest and loved life. My mother was just the opposite. She had so much fear, and telling the truth scared her. Somehow I decided at a very young age that I couldn’t be like my mother. I couldn’t lie, and since my father couldn’t lie, we were a powerful team. The project was surrounded by what people called “The Ghetto”! That didn’t stop my father from taking me for a lot of walks. We would see people sleeping on the street. They were drunk or on drugs and my father would say, “Sweetheart, we are so much luckier than these poor souls. We live in paradise.”
I believed my father. He would compliment me and tell me that I always need to tell the truth. I guess I was naturally courageous, and I felt that it was my job to help all my friends. We played truthful games, and our characters were always strong and honest. Guess who the leader was? My mission for believing that we need to live our truth began when I was around five years old. I spent the first twelve years in the project and witnessed so much diversity. My truth seemed to inspire my friends and their parents. Many of their parents were alcoholics, gangsters, and drug addicts. They would laugh at me because I would say, “I won’t lie, you can’t make me!” They seemed to like my spirit. There were times that I saved my friends from their horrible parents, and I began to believe that my truth was the answer to my strength.
As I grew up “truth and love was my answer”! I thought it was important to teach other people that telling the truth and believing in love would help them live healthier lives. My world has always been based on the truth and I never changed. My kids would say, “We better tell the truth, or we’ll get that look!”
