It was a pleasure sharing with everyone the story of Dr. Ragina Benjamin. Her work in the Bayou La Batre Clinic is extraordinary. No one should have to go through the trials she has as she serves her community. Click here for information about how you can help the clinic.
Our personal best living experience was provided by Tammy Cristen of Bellevue, Washington. For her contribution she'll be receiving a Certificate of Contribution along with a copy of today's show on CD. Give the gift of fame. We invite everyone to give the gift of fame by submitting a personal best story of a parent or spouse in action.
Laurie Puhn, author of Instant Persuasion: How to Change Your Words to Change Your Life, was our featured guest on today's show. Laurie provided many great suggestions to improve communication; extreamly helpful ideas to apply in both personal and professional situations.
Choosing a helpful attitude and fostering confidence in children were the personal best living ideas in today's show. Give it a listen and send us any additional suggestions you have.

September 19, 2007 Show Notes
A lot of fun on the show today. Of course every show is fun but there was additional excitement for a few reasons. The call-in guest was great with his rendition of Hippie Van. That was Seattle musician Michael Trew. He and fellow musician, Jessica Eballar, provided music (awesome music) for the PBR's charity benefit event.
The benefit event, by the way, was held Thursday the 20th and it was a great success. Over $750 worth of donations were provided to the YWCA Women's Support shelter.
We took another baby step on the show, a live, in-studio guest. Dr. Lance Lorfeld, owner of Lakewood Chiropractic was on hand to provide listeners with lots of great information about Chiropractics and healthy living. Good Times!
Tips for personal best living included information about allowing yourself to succeed. All too often we don't think we deserve such things. Wrong!

September 12, 2007 Show Notes
Pretty late getting this up this week. Sorry folks, busy time at the house.
The show started today with no big splash, just a 10-minute tribute to those who gave their lives on September 11, 2001. Several listeners suggested we provide that as a separate track that they could email to their friends and family so that's what we did. It's a bit of a tear-jerker. It wasn't easy to record but definitely worth the doing. It will never cease to amaze me how Americans will step up so often and so quickly when things need to get done. I love it.
Our guest on the show this was Dr. Harville Hendrix, famous couple relationship counselor. I really fun conversation with him. Even couples who aren't having any problems will probably find useful information from our chat.
Personal best tips for the day is information about how to write S.M.A.R.T. goals.
Have a great week everyone. Dream big dreams and make them happen.

Today we changed the order of things a bit to give more time in the fourth segment of the show to go over information about setting goals. Our From Page Four to the Front Door feature today was of broadcasting pioneer Kal Rudman. For many decades public service groups and charitable organizations in Philadelphia's poorest areas have been able to count on Rudman's generosity to help them through. Kal is living a personal best life - one we can all be inspired by.
Our featured guest today was Terry Christopherson, founder and owner of TLC Seminars. I had the privilege of meeting Terry at a management seminar in Seattle. I was impressed by his very personable nature as he worked with the participants of the day. When I learned he had a book that can help people through challenges in life, I just knew I had to ask him for an interview. His book, Let It Be Hot, is available through his Website, www.tlcseminars.com.
The Personal Best Story of the day was about a Grandfather whose gentle ways gave a granddaughter the peace needed to take care of those pesky baby teeth when they needed to come out. A delightful story even if a bit queasy making.
Our Personal Best Tips for the day was a review of the SMART formula for writing goals with two ideas added in as a bonus. Give it a listen and let me know what you think.

This week's From Page Four to the Front Door story was about Mathilde and Marcel Schmetz. This fascinating couple opened The Remember Museum as a memorial to all of soldiers who fought to free Europe from German aggression in WWII. In particular, the Remember Museum features items left by the 110 First Infantry Division soldiers who rested on the farmland of Marcel Schmetz's boyhood home. Their work is appreciated around the world and for that we honor them on Personal Best Radio.
I had the great pleasure of speaking with Dr. Judith Beck, author of The Beck Diet Solution. Her ideas about what people can do to help change their thinking as they work to loose weight are very enlightening. Many of the techniques can be applied to any goal a person has in mind.
The Personal Best Story today was contributed by PJ in Tacoma - a tribute to her father who always made time for her, despite his busy schedule with business, religious and civic responsibilities - a wonderful story to share.

From page four to the front door story: Kaziah Hancock. Several years ago Kaziah decided to paint portraits of soldiers who died in Iraq. She volunteers her time, talents, materials and all shipping charges to this cause. When it became apparent that this service may be more long-term than originally thought, Kaziah launched an organization to enlist the help of others. She named the effort, Project Compassion. Now other artists also help with the painting. People who want to support their great service can go to www.heropaintings.com to contribute.
We aired my interview with Dr. Lucy Jo Palladino, author of Find Your Focus Zone. It was a very pleasant interview. I find myself applying a lot of the information that I picked up from her conversation. The book is a wonderful book to have on hand. I highly recommend it. If you want to get a copy, be sure to do it through PBR's Book Recommendation section because a portion of all proceeds from book sales helps to fund juvenile diabetes research.
Our Personal Best story was about a mom who took a step back from her immediate thought to get angry at her son to instead put herself in her young boy's place. When the boy decided he wanted to run away, mom decided she'd better go with him. A touching story. Be sure to listen for it on the show.
Focus on Self advice for the day - How to Eliminate Negative Thinking from Your Life. I'm convinced this is a major key to move people from they are to where they want to be. Get your mind on what you want instead of what you got and you're well on your way to getting there.
