Jewish Christmas. It's a hashtag on Twitter. @JewishTweets and @JewishConnectiv both asked people about their movie/Chinese food plans. We, of course, had those plans, as we have for years. I can't even remember when we first did this; certainly I didn't get it from my parents. In the 1950s-60s Chinese food was still exotic enough that I don't think I even had some until I was a teen. My mom did buy canned Chung King stuff, though. We also almost never went to the movies when I was little, only drive-ins in the summer.
For many years, when the kids were little, we spent every Christmas vacation in Florida visiting grandparents. There were the weeks when our days completely revolved around the pool and we had such a good time with other young parents and kids similarly visiting their families. Then there were weeks when we bundled up in our winter coats and went to Sea World. Several times the fake waterfall outside my in-laws condo development froze. Even south Florida can get cold in December. But without really knowing that we were on the cutting edge of something that would become A HASHTAG!, we would take the kids to the movies Christmas day because there was nothing else to do, and then we'd eat Chinese food for dinner because no other restaurants were open. The kids loved driving by all the houses with Christmas lights. That was one thing about south Florida: Christmas was obvious in a way it wasn't necessarily in New York City.
These days my now-adult kids say they never felt deprived around Christmas time. They say the accepted completely that Christmas was a holiday we didn't celebrate. The year my son was six, his friend Willy confided that he was getting suspicious about Santa Claus because Santa had used the same wrapping paper as his parents. "I think that's proof," I overheard my son tell his best friend.
Me, on the other hand, I had horrible Christmas envy. Growing up, the only other Jewish family besides my uncle's (who lived next to us) in the neighborhood was the rabbi of our synagogue. The Jews in Worcester lived in and around the streets that had once been part of "The Ellis Estate." We lived on a 1/3 acre that had been part of the "Salisbury Estate." My parents tended to do things differently. When they finally retired, they went to Sanibel Island and then wondered where all the Jews were.
So there I was on Waconah Road, looking out on Christmas decorations on every house. Friends' parents invited me to tree-trimming parties, which my parents let me do (though my mom would not let me go to the WASPy "Cotillion" classes when they began). I even went to midnight mass with friends. One of my nicest memories is waking up on a Christmas morning when it had snowed a foot during the night, and all the neighbors, including my father, uncle and brother, were outside to shovel the street so people could get to church. So even though I what I really wanted was a Christmas Tree and a stocking hung up on living room fireplace, what I have carried into my adult life is a good value: help your neighbors, no matter what their religion.
New Years Eve also seemed to pass me by when I was a child. One year we went to a fancy party thrown by my best friend's parents. Kitty wore a sleeveless green velvet dress with a drop waist that her father had purchased in Paris. I wore a wool skirt. (No wonder I'm always afraid of being dressed incorrectly.) Yeah, my college, post-college New Year's Eves were filled with drunken revels. But once I was married — the Florida thing. Professors have Christmas vacation. We'd go out to dinner, but we were certainly in bed by midnight. So in the years when friends started their New Years Eve rituals, we were in Florida. A few years back, when there was no longer any reason to hit the tropics, we found we had nothing to do.
Several times Howard and I went outside before midnight and walked to the boat pond gazebo right off Central Park West to see the New York Road Runners Club Midnight Run and fireworks. That was great fun. But then it got crowded; it became a "thing," like the blowing up of the balloons before the Thanksgiving Parade. Last year we went into Great Barrington to hear the Berkshire Bach Ensemble play Bach's Brandenburg Concertos. This year we're going again–with our daughter's boyfriend's parents. Then it will be back to their house for dinner (the concert ends about 7:30) for Veuve Clicquot. I expect we'll be home by midnight. But we will have had a wonderful time.
People make a big deal of the holiday season. Considering how short and dark these days are, it's a good idea. I loved how Hanukkah came so late this year. It gave the candle lighting more joy–menorahs in the window! (The last night, with all those candles going, we set off the fire alarm. Oh well.)
The holiday customs we inherit, those we make ourselves–it's interesting, especially considering that baby boomers are the largest population cohort ever. You can leave your comments below. I'd love to know:
- What holiday traditions have you inherited and still keep up.
- What holiday traditions you have make up.
- Whether you think holiday customs are important or have anything to do with who we are.
To everyone out there: Wishing you the best holiday season. See you on the flip side.
Oh, and here's a picture from our Hanukkah party. And I'll give you my latke recipe. This year I made the best latkes ever. Then again, it's not a recipe I practice a lot. So
8 baking potatoes
2 large onions
1/2 cup flour
4 eggs
salt, pepper
I use one large potato for every person, and adjust the recipe accordingly. Peel and grate the potatoes. I do this in the food processor, although I know latkes taste better when grated by hand. Mix everything together in a large bowl (not metal) so that it's one big mess. Drain off the extra liquid. There will be more and more of that as the mixture sits. Also, grated potatoes left out in the air turn kind of orange. That doesn't matter. I use a cast iron skillet with about 4 tbls of oil for each batch. I take out enough grated potato so it's the size of a small hamburg and press it pretty flat. Each batch has about six pancakes. The flame is medium high because they need to cook through but be really crisp. If necessary turn over more than once. Keep adding oil. Remember: Hanukkah is all about the oil. I then drain them on paper towel that's on a baking sheet in the warmer drawer. This way everyone can eat at the same time. Serve the latkes with applesauce and/or sour cream. As I make them only once a year, the latkes are the feature of the dinner, and the sides include whitefish salad, marinated vegetables, etc. Most people use them as a side dish with some other "traditional" main dish, like roast brisket.

Two local artisans donated a colorful batik sampler queen-size quilt to help raise funds for the thirteen member libraries of the Northwestern Regional Library.
The quilt was donated by Carol McDowell who pieced the quilt and is a member of the Elkin Library Board of Trustees.
Amy Askins of Mount Airy quilted the work of art. The quilt was awarded in the Blue Ridge Quilt Festival in Blacksburg, Va.
"The Northwestern Regional Library is raising funds to help purchase eBooks in response to public requests and to offer up-to-date library services to the public," said Joan Sherif with the Northwestern Regional Library system.
Those working with the fundraiser hope to bring in $20,000.
"I am a retired Air Force nurse," said Carol McDowell, who started quilting in 1994 while serving.
"We were stationed in Alaska for 3 1/2 years," said McDowell. "Quilting is a necessity in Alaska."
McDowell belongs to Foothill Quilters Guild, a local quilting organization.
When asked what made her donate a quilt, McDowell said libraries are always in need of funds.
"The state has cut money year after year, and the libraries need our support," she said.
Library officials say users can visit the NOOK Apps storefront to install the free OverDrive Media Console app. The app enables users to locate a library or school nearby, browse or search their eBook and MP3 audiobook collection and, after entering a valid library card or school ID, check out and download the title for a lending period of one to three weeks (depending on the library or school's policies). At the end of the lending period, the title simply expires.
"The eBook collection is now compatible with the Amazon Kindle!" said Sherif. "Patrons can now download popular and classic eBooks to a Kindle device or any mobile device running the free Kindle app, such as iPhone, iPad, Android, and more."
Tickets for the raffle can be purchased at the library, she said.
The winner of the raffle will be picked on June 1st.

Mostly Cloudy
Wind: 0 mph
To the Editor:
Vermonters have long consoled themselves with the fact that even though we pay the highest per child cost of education in the country (over $13,000 per child per year), the education our children were receiving was "first-rate, high quality, one of the best in the country."
The results of the 11th-grade NECAP math and writing exam expose the sad reality: The overwhelming majority of our 11th-graders are semi-literate writers and have not learned basic algebra or geometry. Seventy percent of 11th-graders scored below "proficient" in math, and 61 percent scored below "proficient" in writing.
Some attempted to explain away these results by asserting that the tests were set at too high of a standard. Vermont Education Commissioner Richard Cate said, "I would argue that if you look at the content, it really isn't that tough." Little comfort should be taken by our Valley community in the fact that Harwood students performed better than the state average (53 percent of Harwood students performed less than proficient in math and 52 percent less than proficient in writing).
Commissioner Cate continued, "We can't let this stand. We have to figure out what's going on and deal with it." What's going on? Answer: Our children are failing to learn basic communication and math skills from elementary school onward. Ask any 9th- or 10th-grade teacher who has been teaching for more than 10 years about the noticeable change in preparation for high school studies.
The 11th-grade results are the culmination of a downward trend that starts in elementary school on grade-to-grade measures of proficiency in math and writing. The No Child Left Behind Act has provided the only opportunity that parents have to objectively assess what our children have been learning. Enactment of NCLB was strongly opposed by the "educational establishment" and their supporters.
If the act had not passed we would undoubtedly still be in the dark and would have continued to be on the receiving end of unending laudatory reports regarding the "high quality" of our schools. We now have the opportunity to redefine "high-quality schools" and to demand accountability from our educators, our children and ourselves.
Marc Lanser
Editor's Note: The criteria used by the state of Vermont in NECAP testing includes four levels of results: proficient with distinction, proficient, partially proficient and substantially below proficient.
Lanser, in his letter, is lumping partially proficient with substantially below proficient in charging that majorities of local and Vermont student are "semi-literate writers and have not learned basic algebra or geometry."

Due to the recent tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT, I was greatly alarmed to find that I could walk into a Yadkin County elementary school to pick up a sick grandchild with such ease. There was no one in the office when I walked in, and a teacher was leading her class out of a room close to the front door.
To give the staff person credit, she was attending to another sick child in another room. However, I did not know her, and I was able to sign my grandchild out with no questions asked and no ID produced.
Although my grandchild knows me and came with me, I would much rather have the staff ask for my ID, which I always carry into the schools. I believe the staff at all schools should always ask for ID and always check the approved list because any family member or other approved person may have been removed from the list without the child realizing it.
I do not fault the schools themselves as they are sorely understaffed just as all police departments are understaffed, too. President Obama said we must make changes, and we must. However, it is not all about gun control or lack of gun control. We need more staff manning the school doors and offices, and this may have to come from volunteers.
We need adults trained for security to provide security at the schools. While we may not be able to stop every tragedy in America, we need to take steps to protect our children as much as possible. Most working parents are not able to take off of work, so we need laws changing this so that each parent can have an opportunity to volunteer a few hours each month to their child's school.
I obviously don't have all the answers, but I think Yadkin County should provide a forum for concerned parents, grandparents and others to meet with school and law enforcement personnel to discuss any and all options available. I have four beautiful grandchildren in schools in Yadkin County and would do anything I could to ensure their safety while at school, and I know others feel the same way. I would rather Yadkin County take action now than to go through a tragedy such as Newtown, CT. I hope to see Yadkin County come up with a working solution and hope to see other people come up with suggestions.

Below is a listing of the 2013 Tentative Reduced Price Cow/Calf Elk hunting seasons.Including hunt area number, season dates and limitations.
Hunt Areas with Difficult Public Access - Hunt areas marked with an asterisk (*) on the tentative hunting season information charts are predominantly private lands or have inaccessible or limited access to public lands. If you are considering applying for a license in any of these hunt areas, you are advised to obtain landowner permission prior to making application for a license. Obtaining permission to hunt after you receive a license is often difficult or impossible. You may hunt legally accessible public lands within these hunt areas, but often such lands are in small parcels, receive heavy hunting pressure and may not always contain the species of wildlife you desire to hunt. In addition, wildlife abundance and distribution are often greater on the private land portions of these areas. The inability to secure a place to hunt is not cause for a license refund or exchange of license for another hunt area. For information on access to private lands, see the WGFD website. There are numerous walk-in and hunter management areas that allow free access, but hunters should check first to determine their availability in the area and for the species they wish to hunt.
Season Dates and Limitations - The preliminary opening dates and limitations are tentative and subject to change. Opening dates, closing dates and limitations for big game hunting seasons are established each year in late April or early May by the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission.The Commission reserves the right to not issue licenses for specific hunt areas and types if it is in the best interest of wildlife management. If an applicant applies for a hunt area and type in which the Commission did not authorize licenses, the license fee will be refunded, but the application fee will not be refunded.
Elk Special Management Permit - An Elk Special Management Permit shall be required of any person who participates in the hunting of elk in elk hunt areas 70, 71, 75 or 77 - 98
Emergency Season Closures - Big game hunting seasons may be closed due to an emergency upon 48 hours notice. The Wyoming Game and Fish Commission may institute an emergency closure to shorten the season in any hunt area at any time if a harvest quota is reached or if an emergency arises warranting the closure.

Hi Victoria, I am writing a long overdue letter of thanks. Shortly before I ordered you custom CD I entered a new relationship with a woman I had thought of as a friend. My second wife had recently passed and although my girlfriend was supportive I felt lost. With your guidance I gained greater confidence in my sexual prowess as I witnessed my penis grow. Both in length and girth. My girlfriend, now of several years, couldn't be happier and although I have as yet to realise my full potential she says I am much bigger than any of her previous lovers. To be dating a beautiful woman 15 years my junior is invigorating, and I have, at least in part you to thank for my new found happiness. Wishing you and your family a very memorable and rewarding holiday season. God bless you! Neil - London
Victoria! I am both grateful and happy of your last MP3 delivery. At last I got the real grip of trans. I found it in your BOT_Be_On_Time.mp3 and that solved many problems I had earlier. The keyword was YES!!! That opend up the most for me. And of course your realy nice and beautiful voice. I am very impressed and thankful that I at last belive I am moving forward. Sincerily yours Jullan Kerns - Järfälla, Sweden
Hi Victoria, I want to thank you. You helped me get through a 30 min MRI this morning with an IV in my arm and the loud noises of the machine! I have listened to many of your recordings to relieve stress and anxiety and enjoy them very much. The tech told me not to move for 30 minutes. Not easy. So I tried to use some of the techniques in your recordings to relax myself. From Hypnotic Power Nap I pictured myself walking through a forest and relaxing in the hammock. There was another machine making chirping noises in the background so I pictured the multicolored birds flying and chirping in the mp3. I took whatever came to mind from your other recordings like the sound of the ocean and waves hitting the shore ...whatever came to mind. I told myself the noises of the MRI would only relax me more and more. I relaxed each part of my body from head to toe..so much so that I nearly fell asleep! It was your Short Hypnotic Session on YouTube that introduced me to Hypnosis and to you. I've been a big fan ever since. So once again thank you. Joe - Brooklyn, NY
60 YEAR SODA HABIT I've had an extreme soda habit for 60 years- up to 6 a day. After listening to "SAY NO TO DRINKING SODA" 1 time, I've been free of this awful habit for 10 weeks. ASTOUNDING! Thank you Victoria. You are the best. - dahlonega
Victoria, Thank you so much for the newly released "Short Hypnosis" Session"- a terrific addition to your wonderful catalog. This is truly a multi-use product. Good for sleep, relaxation, anti-stress, & more. And with such a convenient length- only Ten minutes. I expect to find many uses for the "Short Hypnosis Session" Thank you Victoria. - dahlonega
Thank you Victoria. I am only on Day 2 of the free 7 days course, but I am already noticing changes in my behaviour and not only that but how I am thinking about myself. I cant quite believe it is true, but actions speak louder than words and my actions and feelings about doing certain things I did not want to do have changed. I can only see that this is going to get better and better. I especially appreciate that this week long course is free - so that anyone can benefit from it. I am a 72 year old great grandma who has been more or less housebound for the last ten years. Yesterday I was gardening and today I was out washing the windows. Inside and outside - and I had fun and enjoyed every moment of it. Thank you again. Wispy. - Auckland, New Zealand
I've been using Victoria's free online videos for a while now and I finally decided to purchase the work from home download because her voice is so relaxing out of all the online videos I have tried. Within a week I've had a local newspaper agree to review my business (which I was inspired to offer them a free session to get the review) and people on social networks are starting to review me. I also always add in my own suggestions and amazing other things have started to come into fruition since I started listening to the session nightly as well. A couple times I have fallen asleep accidentally, but the count always brings me back, which tells me these suggestions are really being imbeddged deep into the subconscious since her voice always wakes me up at the end. Wow, powerful. Thanks Victoria! I look forward to trying more of your downloads in the future. - Anchorage, AK
I absolutely LOVE Victoria's hypnosis products! I have purchased several and I always feel so relaxed afterward. I am always able to "come out of it" at the end of the count and always feel so much better every time! - washington
I purchased the attract employment CD and received it on September 14, 2011. I was looking for a high paying job with a great company that offered me great benefits. I wanted to work in Finance and do what I love. The second time I listened to the CD, I decided to focus on a specific employer. The deadline I set for myself was December 31, 2011. Yesterday, September 30th, I accepted a job offer with this institution making double the income I was making before (literally). I don't know how I made this happen, I was so discouraged about the current job market that I had stopped trying. I don't know how to thank you Victoria. I hope that blessings pour out to you for helping people like me. I will definitely be buying other products and recommending to EVERYONE! Thank you so very much, God bless! - California
Dear Victoria! I was much exited to listen to the samples of your work and got different cd-s. I wish I could listen to everything at the same time, but I began with "Date successful handsome men". First changes I noticed in my interactions with men after first two sessions. I feel calm and confident, somehow I released the attachment to the result and it feels good! I am looking forward to end this 30 day trial and to see what happened. Thank you for great material! - TX
I have just listened to one of the MP3 downloads, Let Go, which was a wonderful experience. Quite definitely I can never remember having felt like this, so calm and peaceful, and positive, and thank you very much. Your voice is truly beautiful. Gently compelling though wonderfully safe and lovely at the same time. Really perfect and a treat to listen to and follow. For starters I really do need to relax and unwind and your absolutely fantastic and hypnotic voice have given me the key to doing just that. Thank you Victoria.
First off, I had used your Custom Penis Enlargement cd, you may not have anymore. This still certainly qualifies for the regular enlargement program. If every guy on the planet who wishes bigger or more powerful in every way. This is the one product a guy needs. I was so excited by my results it would almost be to hard to stop. thanks - Cincinnati
I downloaded and listened to the intense orgasm fantasy by Victoria. At first, I was skeptical as I didn't think much of it, but after the session, boy was I wrong. Victoria's soothing and sexual voice had me excited. I listen to it all the time now and it gets better and better each time. Victoria's voice has replaced my hands and my wife when I really want an intense orgasm. Thankyou Victoria! - Texas
I bought your 'Lower Blood Pressure' CD for my husband who is very difficult to get focussed on any alternative therapy. He used it for a few days, enjoyed it but then gave up. Now his Dr. says 'more pills' unless his BP comes down so out has come your CD and he's really enjoying doing it and finds his BP is beginning to lower slowly but surely. Can't thank you enough. - Glossop, U.K.
I must admit--I started online sessions with another "meditation" program--but after listening to Victoria's soothing voice--I was hooked! I also ordered "Deeper Relaxation" cd set--I've noticed in just a short amount of time I am energetic--upbeat--and definitely feeling positive about myself--Thank you Victoria--You are Awesome!! - Peekskill
Just wanted to say I thoroughly love Victoria's hypnosis CD's. We play them at our meditation group meetings and everyone who hears them are ordering their own. Victoria's voice is amazing and has such a calming effect. It's perfectly toned and balanced for hypnosis. In our group we all notice the effects from listening to her CD's. I recommend them to anyone. Doreen Billig - Waterford
I feel compelled from my heart to let Everyone (who is considering buying Victoria's hypnosis tracks) know how Sincere, Loving, Dedicated and Professional Victoria (she) is, not only as a healer and hypnosis therapist but also as a human being. All of her material is So Well made in every way and contains Superb and sharp sound quality, her Sooting, Beautiful and Enchanting voice, a great choice of words, suggestions and background music. It is such a pleasure to listen to her tracks, and this is a very important factor for accessing the subconscious mind. Her voice is quite outstanding, and because it is so gentle and soft, it release All tension and resistance within your mind and body. While listening to any of her tracks, I have been able to rid myself of a really bad headache in a few moments. I have listened to many different hypnosis tracks out there, but have never experienced a similar effect from other providers. Victoria has a great knowlegde in how the subconscious mind works and it shows in all her dedicated work. I also find it amazing that I can actually communicate and email her directly and get a personal response from her as supposed to an answer from a support contact. This is priceless to me and it makes me trust her authenticity and quality even more. Thank you So Much Victoria for what you do, give and share with us all. - Ontario, CA
Last night I downloaded the Hypnotic-O mp3...and I still can't seem to get a grip on the amazing experience I had. I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but having used a couple other hypnotic tracks (for confidence and relaxation), I figured that I'd give it a try to see what happens. I figured, at the very least I'd have a deeply relaxing experience. Well...after I recuperated from the 1st session of Hypnotic-O...literally when the convulsions stopped and I could catch my breath...I took a minute or so and ran another session...and it only got better and stronger. This is a truly amazing product! ...not only due to the experience I had, but also because it really opened my mind up to the power of the human mind and the incredible things that can be done via hypnosis. I DO plan on checking out more of your products to improve the quality of other areas of my life. In addition, I've entertained the idea of studying hypnotherapy in the past, but now its something I definitely plan on doing. Thank you, not only for the great experience with Hypnotic-O, but also for showing me a different perspective on human capability. To wrap up, please let me know if you ever release a session designed to improve martial arts skills as I'd definitely be interested in checking it out. - Hypnotic-O
Dear Victoria,just wanted you to know that i Have played your CD twice and had NO sugar today!I am so pleased as i feel released from a drug.I do not have a lot to loose,about 10 pounds,but from the age of 16 i have been controlled by sugar.I am 57!I have drifted off,so listened to part 1 and 2 together.Is this OK? So happy!I have tried other hypnosis Cd's,but never with these results.Feeling very motivated!Thank you!
Thank you. I love listening to your mp3's and have watched samples of your items and dvds on you tube. I bought my first mp3 yesterday, positive vibrations, even the cat has noticed a change, she's scared of me now. something happened earlier this week and one of your youtube movies inspired me and helped me get some focus, then i created my new website, and hopefully it will be a success for everyone whose links i add and a success for me too. - Positive Vibration
I am sure you all, including the technical staff and customer service, get plenty of thank you's and appreciation. Although I had to make time to say thank you for offering free downloads to people like myself, that have been truly affected by the economy. My Father, who was retired, had to go back to work full time to help my family in our time of need. We are poor, but blessed, by soo many people around us helping to get our family back up and running. Within this group, to everyone who runs this site, my gratitude can not even expel what your site has provided. You have offered free mp3 downloads, like the H1N1 that could have been way out of our league financially. Your conscientiousness, time, and offer has not gone unrecognized. You have become an indirect form of family for my household. I was involved in a hit and run recently, and also endured multiple vandalism and break ins around my home and yard. My husband works as a NA/R, and I am currently looking for work due to the economy. So thank you, for being a hidden light in what seems at times to be darkness and hopelessness. Thank you to everyone who works here!!! I can or will never be able to express what you have given me, and more importantly, my prized possession.....My family
Most of All. I Want To Thank You For All Your Great Service To ME. I Truly Adore and Respect YOU!!! You Are A Master In Your Profession Of Hypnotherapist. I Love Everything You DO!!! I Am A Loyal Customer To YOU!!! You Are Very Passionate About Your Products That You Sell To Help Customers Like ME!!! I AM VERY GRATEFUL FOR YOU!!! YOU GOT MY SUPPORT FOR YOUR SITE and AS A CUSTOMER!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Hi Victoria, I just HAD to write to you right now, and tell you I think you are BRILLIANT, thats the word I use to describe you. I just watched all your videos on youtube, and now its 4am.. every single one of them was absolutely fantastic to watch. I did the hypnosis one, and was crying a fair bit, I am feeling scared and vulnerable at the moment in my life, but you have given me a lot of hope. Unfortunately my husband and me are broke at the moment or I would be buying MANY of your CDs, but I can watch the youtube ones for now, until I receive the money that I believe will come. (Where from I have no clue). I just really had to say thank you to you, you have helped me a lot. Your are wonderful. thank you so much. Best wishes to you and your husband.
Dear Victoria, Firstly your CDs are amazing you really are doing a rewarding job, and many people will definitely be sending you their blessings. You have produced CDs for hair growth, which my husband bought for me and has really helped me with my thin, limp hair. - Healthy Hair Growth
Just wanted to let you know I listened to the MP3 file on the introductory e course and was profoundly and pleasantly surprised to its effectiveness. Very powerful material that relaxed me to a state that I have not experienced in many, many years. I look forward to using your services much more.
Thanks again! I REALLY appreciate your teachings; I will be honored to say i was a student of yours; I have tried and tested many a hypnostists over the past months, really, honestly, YOU ARE THE BEST!!!. you are a phenominal talent, and i just wanted to take a moment to God bless you for all the good you are doing for the Haitians. May you be blessed for your generosity to those poor individuals in dire need.
Thank you for helping people connect with their inner mind(s) through self hypnosis to assist in bringing their lives and inter actions with others into harmony and balance. I have just received step 8 in your self hypnosis ecourse and will be making your course a daily practice in my life. I have also purchased the Money Attraction Pack from you, thank you for the student discount.
This is GREAT! The day I discovered you must be one of the BEST days of my life! I have your course in my favourites.
I am really enjoying the Cds, especially "Healthy Hair Growth". It is an awesome CD! Your voice is so kind, soothing and gentle. Thank you for creating the " Healthy Hair Growth " and " Attract Money " CDs, Victoria. I intend to keep listening to both as you direct on them and continue to see what happens. Yes, I've been receiving cheques in my mail (ie - for refunds from other people I bought stuff from - stuff I did not really need: lucky lottery numbers and other junk basically. And one final "Thank you" for being who you are and being the very best at what you do. This is my first time I got into hypnosis and I am happy that you are my "teacher", so to speak. Take care and thanks for staying in touch thru your e-mails. - Vancouver, Canada
Just want to let you know I received the "New You" (3) CD set today after i got home from work. I have listened/watched to the "Attract Money" DVD for 3 days ( going to watch after I send u this) and have received money in my mailbox! It really is amazing! My thinking toward money has changed for the better also. - Vancouver, Canada
I just want to tell you that your work is wonderful and I have recommended you to so many of my friends and family over the years.....so thank you. I was NOT kidding about your hypnosis/editation CDs getting me "almost" through nursing school hahaha--I graduate this upcoming May! These programs are extremely tough, stressful and demand so much out of you mentally and physically--so listening to your CDs has become my solution to get through even the toughest of weeks and to stay positive. I wouldn't say it unless it was true...you DO make a difference! My husband also used your MP3s to get through Special Operations Group Training in Louisiana for the U.S Marshals Service....so he vouches for your work also whenever he has the chance!
Thank you for putting these amazing products on the market. With the work you do and who you are you are truly a gem, a jewel, to a world lost in seemingly non-stop confusion and frustration.
I'm using the one on control your temper and although I'm supposed to listen to it for 30 days every day for best results I found I was noticeably more calm after just 2 sessions. And my wife even noticed the difference after just 2 sessions. So now we've agreed that I will put more effort into doing the sessions consistently every day for the 30 days. It has also got her curious about the effectiveness of hypnotherapy which is why we're thinking of purchasing one to use together. I'm really excited by the prospect of being able to connect directly to my subconcious so I can make the changes I've always wanted to make but have doing the hard way (and with less success). - No More Temper
I just wanted to thank you for this program. When me and my girlfriend would have sex, a lot of the times it would take a good 5 minutes until my body wanted to give up and climax. To me, thats a very short period of time and I was not proud of it. But after the first day of listening to this program, I lasted about 45 minutes. This program is helping my mind associate sexual pleasure and feelings with staying calm and staying in control. Its been about 2 weeks since, and I will continue listening to the program expecting better results each time. Thank you so much for your help! - End Premature Ejaculation
I just wanted to send you a quick note to say thank you for the free "swine flu" programs that you have made available! Your generous action proves what I have known all along - that you are the best! Period! In previous notes to you, I have always stressed how you have helped me. My life has been filled with trouble since 2005. Your products have helped me deal with all the difficulties! People have noticed the changes in me. You and your programs have played a significant role in that process! I wrote to you in February of this year to tell you how happy I was with your products and to tell you that I, at last, had found a special lady in my life and that we were engaged. That development was so important to me, since I struggled through a very bad divorce in 2004-2005. You responded immediately and said I was an inspiration to you! I have that response hanging on the wall in my office! That relationship, however, suddenly fell apart in recent weeks. It's been one of the most devastating experiences of my life, but I am hanging in there. And, again, your products have helped me tremendously! Again, thank you for the free programs. Simply put, you are the best! God Bless You!
Many thanks for the fbulous info you are sending me, they are realy helping me to understand how the mind works.
I want to thank you for the e-course. I am practicing meditation for 3 years now, and I have hypertention, I have read so many books and never have experience the same that I experience with your self hypnosis course, you open a door for me that I was try to open for a long time, I am a very persistent person and I always believe that I can find samething to help me in my needs, and I found you Thanks again for your course that is helping me a lot. I ask your permission for use your teachings with my clients I think that they can improve their lives in so many ways. - Calgary, Alberta
I love your products, and have been using them for over 5 years. I use them every single night. I use them before bed to end the day on a positive note, and I always wake up happy and ready for the new day. I think I may have almost all of the titles (except the "enhance your size" ones : ). Keep making more!!
You ROCK!! I like your clips. I feel you are a kind honest person. Good luck and many thanks for al the work you present. I'm going to try out the product I ordered from you today and then decide on my next step.
Thank you for your beautiful ecourse. It is amazing! I have also ordered some C.Ds from your website. I just like the way you present your ideas and how you can make sophisticated concepts about the brain so simple. Well done. I'm looking forward to learning more from you.
greetings from d depths of my heart. i'm so filled with joy and appreciation for d 8 days course on self hypnosis which u gave me the previlage to enjoy. i hope to acquire the other materials for further enhancement of my person though as i speak now the finances are not available, but self hypnosis has helped to transcend my life from a life of desires to a life of actualization. thank u indeed.
I just want to say something and I don't want this to sound silly. Did you know there is something very special about your site and your business. I can't explane what it is, but when I first found your site after doing a Google surch, I KNEW this was the site I need to check out. I have tryed many other sites looking for Astel Travel and other things which I am trying to find out how to do. But sence going through your site and reading the reports of your customers and listening to your demo videos on YouTube, I know now I was correct in my feeling that I had about you and your business when I first found you. I just wanted to tell you this. God bless you.
I just felt compelled today to report back to you on my progress. It's been 4 months since I started listening to your Self-Love MP3 and not only is it still working, but things just keep getting better. I'll have to admit that your recording was probably the best thing that ever happened in my life. I know that sounds over the top, but my relationship with my wife is like a fantasy come true. Probably the most salient point that you make in your tape is the wording that says something like "find out how she wants to be loved and let her know how you want to be loved". That point alone probably saved my marriage, not to mention set us up for the rest of our lives. And, I'm finding that I'm able to express and experience more love with my children as well. Totally amazing stuff. Thank you so much for your work. I just wish that more, run of the mill, average Joe's like myself are able to find and utilize your recordings. - Experience Self-Love
I just received your custom CD today and I love it. I think it is perfect and like the way you scripted it. I look forward to listening to it over and over. I am now at Day 25 Sober and having zero issues. So your CD is a perfect companion for looking to the future. Also, I am finishing up Day 10 of my Master Cleanse. I have never been able to complete 4 days before until I received your CD for that too. I love your work and you truly do make a difference in my life. - Custom Hypnosis
I recently ordered the Let Go MP3 and it has worked wonderful to clear my mind and allow me to let go of a 3.5 year relationship. The MP3 has also taught me to really relax for the first time in my life and i am 39 years old. I truly believe if i didn't order the Let Go MP3 i would still be hanging on to him and i would still be living an unhealthy lifestyle! - Help You Let Go
Wow I'm in awe and boy after listening to this twice i am numb. I want to live up to all this and i feel so ready. This cd has made all the difference I know this cd is going to put me where I need to be. Thank you from the deepest most sincere place in my heart. I'm interested to see whats in store for me now. - Custom Hypnosis
JUST ordered Manifest Money MP3 and LOOKING forward to it! I LOVE your uber-fast downloads. Never a problem. - Manifest Money
I ordered TWO MP3s from you just one night ago. 1) Date Beautiful Women MP3 and 2) Mind of a Millionaire MP3. The first one is simply amazing - IT actually works. I was at the store today and there was this uber-gorgeous snotty female - she didnt see right away. I proceeded to the tea section and she came down the aisle, not knowing what to look for, as she was looking for that one thing on both sides of the aisle frantically. When she got to me, she stopped and just looked at me for a good minute. My back was turned and I noticed her the whole time from the corner of my eye. I paid her no attention, as I knew from listening to the MP3 and how you said that beautiful women being attracted to me through the subconscious and possessing something that I have and being irresistible to that woman. She darted off in a brisk manner, I grabbed my tea and she turned back to look at me. I was like this is too cool. I then went to the pop section and I got more stares from women. IF I would have asked any of them for their name and details, I would have gotten it. I decided not to, as I just ordered the MP3 the night prior. These women were pretty BUT not what I wanted to pursue. I wanted to soak in more of the MP3 and know that I have something unique now to acquire the TRUE WOMEN in which I desire to know and date. THANK YOU SO MUCH Victoria You and your product(s) are *GANGSTA! - Date Beautiful Women
Thank you for the e course. It's very educational and is helping me more to appreciate the cd's I have and get the best from them.
Your CDs are very well made. So well made that I worry that the penis enlargement CD I have been listening to is too effective! I only listened to the first CD for 5 days, twice a day, then once I noticed changes I stopped. That was a week and a half ago, and I even get the impression that my penis has continued to grow a little since then. I think I really absorbed the messages well. - Penis Enlargement Delux
WOW! the CD's have arrived and they are just awesome. Also I am so grateful for the eCourse that you so graciously provided for self improvement. I am already, in advance, celebrating my wonderful new life for which I thank you again. - Hypnosis Script
Thanks a lot. Your hypnosis programs are great. Everytime I listen to your voice, I feel something is changing within me. Thanks again. - Grow Taller
Victoria is awesome. Her voice is amazing. She is simply the best. I've recently been through an agonizing divorce and have had to deal with a series of stress and health-related issues from that scenario. Your products, though, are making me feel better already. Thanks!
Your "Even Deeper Sleep" and "Deep Relaxation" CD's are amazing. I've done months of research and studies regarding stress management and I can definitely say that your products are the best.
Just a short note for Victoria and her staff to let you know that I am very happy with two of the products I recently purchased from hyptalk.com.
I bought your cds last night, as I am an avid fan of self hypnosis. After my experiences with hypnosis so far, I have found that the main irritation for me has always been when a man reads from the transcript. I find a mans voice to be terribly disturbing and coarse. It is not of sound vibration for easy hypnosis implementation. With your cds, I have got not only a very soft appealing women voice talking to my sub concious, I have a person who has a very good, strong, understanding of hypnosis. The cds are made using a very professional way, to implant affirmation strings into the mind. It is as if you have sound ability to communicate on the very point of thought, that I am experiencing as I use Your cds. To me they are very very good quality and I fully recommend them to everyone, and will definitely be buying again ! Keep up the good work.
My name is Katarina and I have been using your Cd for a couple of weeks and I see great positive results and I know there is much much more on the way...... Thank you sooooooo much. I have heard quite a few hypnosis CD's but I didn't stay with the program because they just didn't have the overall package greatly produced as you do. I love your inductions, I love your ideas .... I just love your work.
Dear Victoria You are excellent. Since I bought from you several CD's I have been listening to DEEP SLEEP, which have helped very much. When listening now I can go no further than just after the eye lids. DEEP RELAXATION and feel this is just great. So nice to put it on when I come home from work. PROSPERITY is like magic. Since I started using it on regular basis a strange thing happened, money started arriving, f.e. 60-100 dollars each month for lottery winning. Usually I never win in such games. Even more unexpected surrprice came, like a royalty for a few songs I have made but never received anything from it. Victoria, how can this possibly happen. Something has been coming in every month for six months. Is it magic? But I have to admit that I was in desperate need for money and I prayed and prayed and confessed every day some good promises of prosperity from the Bible. Do you have time to give me a short explaination. I like you Victoria and respect you very much. Thanks for producing such qualities. The CD's are so exciting. Your friend and customer
Very smooth voice and care for the clients.
Thank you for a great item! Good communication, LOVE the cd! Thanks so much!
The cd's are awesome... I keep listening and soaking in all of the terrific affirmations and suggestions on the 3 tapes. I am very pleased with the results and I have been telling everyone to call and/or check out your website.
Victoria, I told you that I have been under hypnosis in the past. Knowing of the wonderful relaxation and the refreshing feeling of hypnotic meditation prompted me to purchase these tapes. I was also very pleasantly surprised by the CD's themselves. The music you have chosen for the background is incredibly relaxing and the pitch and tone of your voice is perfect for a deep relaxation response.
I started listening to your CD's last week (Manifest Money and Good Luck Hypnosis) and already I feel more confident and abundant. This has changed years of limited, narrow life experiences into wonderful exciting prospects.
I have been interested in hypnosis for sometime now, and have purchased several different cds from various places, but I can say that your cds are the best one's I've ever tried. I am extremely happy with my order. I am already starting to see noticeable changes, and as soon as I put my headphones on I go very deep into a hypnotic trance. Thanks for everything, I will be sure to order more from your website.
I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how impressed I am with the quality of your products. I've told you before how much I like your Ultimate Weight Loss program. I will be doing it in a 12 week group session starting in September. I'll let you know how it goes.I really like your self-hypnosis promo, very well done. I have made weight loss and smoking cessation CD's for my individual clients; but since I do not sell hypnosis CD's myself yet, I refer clients to your site often. They are also pleased with the quality. Your scripts are well thought out and you voice is quite soothing. Another well know hypnotist that I won't name has good scripts but seems to talk too rapidly for my taste and clients have reported the same to me. I will be teaching a Self-Hypnosis class soon and have been gathering information from many sources. Your intro was quite helpful, excellent delivery. Good luck and continued success. - Ultimate Weight Loss Power Pack
I listened to the Talk Dirty to Me Program and I think they are great. You managed to straddle down and dirty with sophistication and grace. Bravo ! I need to do it in SPANISH !! HAHAHA ! Well it's a fun one, and I think will be a big help to a lot of people (women drawing them out of their shells). - Talk Dirty to Me
I have been using the Stay Harder Last Longer programme for a few weeks now and the great thing for me is that the part regarding the libido is really working. I have had a problem with a lack of libido for a long time but now your programme seems to be reversing the situation. It is great to get that old feeling back. Thank you. - Stay Harder Last Longer
Dear Victoria, I've been listening to your "Go To Sleep" repeatedly. I am very grateful to you and I feel a need to obey your every word. I am aware that I must be enchanted; but, I can't help myself. Thank-you for this happiness! Your voice has become that of an angel in my mind. Thank-you. - Even Deeper Sleep
I greatly enjoyed "Release Flying Anxiety", and after two days of listening to it, I have already recommended it to a few friends. - Release Flight Anxiety
This little-known secret is beginning to get noticed. You will be amazed at how effective and powerful and thought-provoking this program is! EVEN I use this program. One day, I got back from vacation. I just didn't feel like working. I need some motivation! So, I thought, I'd check out my own CD. For me, it was instantaneous. I got so motivated, I haven't been able to stop myself from being on the go. I think I need to come out with part II... "A little less motivation, please." he he he. Anyway, this will definately get your engine started. - Power to Achieve (Motivation)
Hi Victoria, On October 28th I will be celebrating my one year anniversary of being smoke-free thanks to you!!!! As a result, I am now healthier, happier, and better smelling ;-) I have more energy and I can now actually taste the food I've been eating!! What a difference. What most amazed me was that I didn't replace the smoking with any other bad habits, like eating. In fact, I have lost 20lbs and look better than I have in 20 years. You have my undying gratitude! Thank you! - Overcome Smoking Forever
I received the CD on Saturday and listened for the first time Sunday night. WOW! I'll say it backwards! WOW! I'll say it upside down! MOM! This week, I have already tightened my belt a belt notch. Weighed myself today! 95 Kg (228 lbs). I'm buying myself a scale tomorrow for the first time in my life because I KNOW this is working! I'm losing weight. - Exercise Power
I went to a gym for the first time in my life last Thursday with a friend. I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. (I shouldn't have been, I've been listening to your tapes for two weeks!) - Exercise Power
Victoria, I just recieved the Body Talk CD in the mail today and I LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!! The first two sections are great, and much like your Weight Release CD. BodyTalk has the added bonus of the affirmations, and the subliminal sections. They are terrific! I have only listened to it once, and already I am more excited about achieving my goal. I feel different after listening to it just the one time! Thank you so much! - Body Talk
Hi Victoria! I've been listening to the Weight Release cd and the Body Talk cd out of the ones I purchased from you. My husband and I both have noticed a difference in my body, as well as the scale showing it! - Body Talk
"Hello Victoria, I have been listening to your CD for 2 months now and I have lost 20 lbs so far. I have 40 more to go and my goal is Christmas. I really enjoy the time I spend, and can almost imagine that I am in a personal hypnosis session with you. Let me know when you are ready to release the Deep Relaxation CD, I could really use it. Until then, my deep relaxation is done with the weight loss CD. Thank you so much Victoria, my eating habits are changing due to a new conscience." - Classic Weight Release Kit
i got the weight cd and i listen to it every night. i have only had it a couple of weeks, but i can already see some difference in the way i think about some things. i love th cd. i have looked for years for something like this for weight loss and am so glad that i was able to find it. thank you - Classic Weight Release Kit
I like your visualization and relaxation process. I like it that you don't add wierd new age philosophies, to your sessions, but keep them to the task at hand. I have listened to and discarded several other weight loss hypnosis tapes that contained 'extra' things I didn't want to have in my subconsious mind. Your 'Weight Release' CD was perfect, because you stayed on the topic of weight loss. Thank you - Classic Weight Release Kit
"Hi, I purchased the 'Weight Release' CD a couple of months ago. I have lost 16 pounds and kept those 16 off, instead of gaining that and more as I usually do. I still have a long way to go, and need to be more motivated to keep on keeping on. - Classic Weight Release Kit
Hi Victoria- They are great. I have been listening to the weight loss one and I can't believe how easily I can be entranced! - Classic Weight Release Kit
hello i recently ordered breast enhancement cd i would like to say thankyou i have been using it under a month and there is a great difference thankyou. i am more happy with myself now. i will tell any one who wishes to get biggar breasts to use this cd. thankyou. - Breast Enlargement
"I have been using Victoria's Breast Enlargement CD series for about a month now and have noticed a difference in my 36.5" bustline from the first week. After having children, I went to a plastic surgeon to see what he could do but was not encouraged with his answer. For me, the results from the BE series is better than surgery. No scars and no pain. I have a natural look and feel to my breasts because it is all me. The cleavage is much more "perkier" and I feel much healthier with more confidence. I've gained over 1.5" so far and haven't finished yet! Although he didn't know I was on the program for a few weeks, he kept noticing the difference in my bustline. He is very excited and so am I. Thank you, Victoria!" - Breast Enlargement
Hi Victoria, I really enjoy listening to the CD of your penis enlargement hypnosis. I was wondering how much (if any) I was gaining, but the other night my penis looked much thicker. Granted the lights were low, but I noticed my wife had a difficult time performing oral sex. Hmmmm. During intercourse I withdrew, and could tell that my penis looked markedly longer. Plus, my wife often told me not to go so deep because it was uncomfortable. So maybe there is something to this whole hynosis thing. :) - Illinois
Hi Hypno, May I first of all say how much comfort your Penis Enlargement CDs have given me. I've been through the 6 week sessions once, listening once a day. I've added 1/2" to my erect penis (which I am very pleased with). I really enjoy the hypnotic state- very enjoyable in itself. I am eager to add as much length as possible-Thank you so much! - Penis Enlargement Delux
I've reviewed 4 out of the 5 CDs and they've all been excellent. Superb clarity. Superb voice. Superb hypnotic scripting. A job excellently done! Back - Penis Enlargement Delux
Hi Victoria! Yes, my husband is still listening..........religiously hahaha..........and YES, there have been changes.....not that it mattered to me, but I sure have noticed that he is longer, thicker, harder, lasts longer and has strongers O's :) - Penis Enlargement Delux
Victoria, I just wanted to let you know that even though I was very skeptical at first, I immediately noticed a small improvement right away (1/4 ") in the first couple weeks, which motivated me to keep listening. Over a six-week span I am now 1 1/2 inches bigger. I am estatic! I last longer. I feel enthusiastic. Victoria, your program is so easy, all I do is listen to your soothing voice everyday and I can literally feel the changes taking place in my penis while I'm listening. - Penis Enlargement Delux
I have been listening to the cds. very good quality. I might want you to customize a cd for me. - Penis Enlargement Delux
Victoria: You probably don't remember me, but I thought I'd write to thank you for your penis enlargement hypnosis CDs. At first, I had trouble (I couldn't induce a hypnotic state), and I didn't see results for a while. But eventually everything clicked, and I just had to write to report on my progress, which I feel is pretty amazing. You were right. Thanks to you and your CDs, I'm now between a quarter and an eighth of inch of my goal of 9 inches erect, and by about 6-7/8 in girth (for an increase of about 1-3/4 inches in length and 1-1/8 in girth) - Penis Enlargement Delux
WOW, it was exactly what I was hoping for! The pace was perfect! Sweet, slow, and steady, really easy to get into. I loved the script. It has absolutely everything I needed and I'm so looking forward to using it every day and really letting it sink in. I couldn't think of a good Key Word before I placed the order. I can't imagine a better choice than "Surrender" for my goal. Thats the perfect word to describe the experience. I think you understand us men better than you think you do. Thanks so much, Hugz'n'kisses. - HypnoSexual Tool Box
Dear Victoria, I purchased the Hypnosex mp3 and tried to see if it could counter virtual chemical castration from three blood pressure pills. I was surprised at what actually did happen. I discovered that my sexual organ was apparently my brain. Your voice was being experienced, while in trance, as erotic. My mind had apparently eroticized your voice which was making me feel a little guilty! I'm not sure if this is anything you expected. I had previously thought that erotic hypnosis was separate from hypnotherapy. This idea had made me think of hypnotherapy as clinically dull. I regret my former stupidity and would like to feel less guilty about enjoying listening to you as much as I do. - HypnoSex
Hi Victoria, We recieved your "HypnoSex" Cd a few days ago. I tried it out for the first time and WOW! It was just like I hoped. A profoundly erotic and yet gentle experience. You have such a lovely voice and the background music was a wonderful touch. I've tried a couple other hypnosis audios, and yours is definately the best so far. I can't wait to try it with my wife! Thanks sooo much! XOXO Robert - HypnoSex
Victoria... I just want to thank you so much for creating such a beautiful, enchanting program which has helped my relationship with my husband in so many ways. We communicate on a new level now. We can talk openly and tell each other what feels good. We are experimenting because we can express our wants and desire. I feel passionate about my body our intimate moments together. I feel open to trying new things. I feel much more free. - HypnoSex
"I think you have a really artful understanding of the little subtleties in the human voice which can result in a truely effective hypnosis, versus a mediocre one which I honestly have seen/heard in the other similiar products I've tried out there. They're not bad, just not even remotely as good as yours. The scripts and concepts may be similiar to yours, but you really do have a certain "je ne sais quois" that makes it far more effective for me." "I have found that "HypnoSex" was very helpful in training my subconcious to be more open to full-body ecstacy, in particular the way you describe feeling pleasure in "every cell, every nerve." Hey Victoria, I received the CDs yesterday and listened to the HypnoSex one last night. Woah, I was blown away! You have an incredible voice. So sexy! That voice could hypnotize me without even meaning to - HypnoSex
Dear Ms. Wizell: I received the Deep Sleep CD on Friday. This CD is exceptional. I had immediate results. After I listened the first time, I slept 7 1/2 hours. The tape has also helped me to exercise more effectively because I received 4 1/2 hours more sleep than usual. I cannot thank you enough for the CD. I also ordered another CD with it, and will likely order more in the near future. - Even Deeper Sleep
Hello again, I just wanted to tell you that I love very much the "DEEP SLEEP" CD and I am using it every day. I am in the third week now and is doing fine. I play easily with you suggestions and enjoy them all the way through. More often I fall asleep now when I am counting down. - Even Deeper Sleep
Hi Victoria, I just wanted to thank you for your wonderful hypnosis programs. I just received my latest order, and wanted to share a "success story". I know I live to get feedback from the golfers that I craft custom clubs for, and thought you should hear my story. I have used your Deep Relaxation CD for the last 2 weeks, and entered a match play tournament about the same time. I am a notorious "choker" in tournaments, but have taken the deep relaxation from your CD's to the course, and have won my first 2 matches...against better golfers.....I just say "yes", yes", when I get uptight....I have won my first 2 matches...handily, and am in the semifinals. I believe that I owe it to you. Each CD, is different in the induction...which i enjoy so much, and I take your wonderfully soothing and persuasive voice with me on the course. I also, thoroughly enjoy the othe CD's...The imagery is beautiful, and the results, are mind blowing. I look forward to trying each CD...knowing that I can only work on a few things at a time. You are a true professional, and I thank you for doing that which you love...so well. I can't wait to try the other CD's I have purchased, and am thinking of ordering a phone session soon. You are great!!!! Thank you, thank you, Ron Bleier - Deeper Relaxation
Hi Just wanted to let you know that the CD you made for me is working well. I have written to poems since I got back thanks to your wonderful help. Thank you. - Life Success(Creativity)
I received the 6 CDs, thank you. "Beat Depression" is packed with good stuff to challenge my existing beliefs. I think you and I are on a winner, here. - Emotionally Free (Beat Depression)
May I say once again how much you have helped me with your CD programmes and thank you for restoring my reproductive system . Thank you for being able to treat such a sensitive subject so expertly. Lastly can I be a wee bit bad and say I would follow that voice anywhere. - Hypnotic Yoga
Victoria, Just wanted to say how much I appreciate your hypnotherapy CDs and scripts! They have helped my longtime commitment to hypnosis of over 20 years. In the past, the only role models were my mother and other men, which were good but now I have someone who I can relate to and aspire to. Thank you! - Hypnotic Yoga
First of all, I've gotta say I really love the cd's. I love the explanation in the beginning,the clarity and your voice(probably most of all). I'm so used to hearing hypnosis with fuzzy reception and people with strange accents. I also usually get a homemade cd with some papers that look like something that you read in a doctor's office. This is the first professional legitimate hypnosis cd that I have ever received(which says a lot about other hypnotists). Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for everything. - Hypnotic Yoga
Excellent Product I wanted to say congratulations and thank you for the fine quality of your hypnosis CDs. I ordered four CDs last month and was pleasantly surprised at the quality. I am a certified hypnotherapist as a hobby (and General Manager of a New Business Venture Group by day). I have seen so many shoddy hypnosis products on the internet and have learned to set my expectations low when ordering CDs and Tapes off of the Internet. Yours are excellent. You have a marvelous voice and pace and your metaphoric and permissive techniques are superb. If fact, if you offer any advanced hypnotherapy training I would be very interested. Before General Management, I worked in Marketing Management for many years. One of my successes was building the world's biggest selling brand of Antibacterial Liquid Soap. I have respect for good products and felt compelled to pass my compliments on to you. - Hypnotic Yoga
Victoria, Just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful hypnoyoga cd...its incredible! Improved my routine tremendously..your voice is so soothing and the relaxation you provide is blissful. thank you so very much steve - Hypnotic Yoga
This program is so worth the investment. I have been listening for only a week and I have already been making more money! I have gotten to some root issues regarding money and some beliefs that I was holding and have changed them to positive affirmations, the affirmations section alone is worth the investment. I listen to the program about 3 times a day, and I have to say this program is amazing. Thank you so much for helping me in this area of my life! - Financial Prosperity (Manifest Money)
Our career dreams have been to find something that we love to do, and something that would give us the freedom and money to help people and the planet. On the path to that place, we have tried many different things, and learned a lot of lessons, but we still found ourselves blocked. We love to work together, and the jobs we've done have kept us very busy, working a lot of hours, and rarely having a day off. In October 2004, we decided we needed some help to redirect our energies, and put us in a more positive mindset. We ordered Victoria Wizell's "Financial Prosperity" hypnosis CD from her website. It wasn't even one week of listening to the CD, before we envisioned our dream of this website. We went to work immediately and we were amazed at the focus and energy we were putting into it, (with no previous website building abilities!). We keep listening to the CD, and it boosts our inspiration and creativity. We believe that if there is anything you feel "blocked" with, her CD's could help you too. - Financial Prosperity (Manifest Money)
"As far as the "Couple's Therapy" CD set, I can't tell you enough! Bill and I talked about it last night and how perfectly it fitted our needs-it was intimate, structured, objective and very safe. We also feel strongly about our attitudes going into this program. We kept an open mind, remained vulnerable and honest and were there for each other. Key is not to "blame" each other, but to go in with the purpose of healing the relationship-not changing your mate. In my personal opinion, I felt it was more productive and healing than seeing a therapist who for their own reasons are not totally objective and carry their own agendas. This was the perfect anecdote to the confusion we held in our lifes. Thank you Victoria!!" - Couples Hypnosis
I ordered the 'grow taller' CD pack a few months back and I'd just like to mention how delighted I am; even now. I'm on the second CD:- 'optiumum health' and I hope to carry on at a slow pace. I listen to the CD's and I've started using the product 'Sytropin' which you can find on the net. When I wrote to you from Scotland (UK) I asked whether it would be wise to tell people: so far I haven't but the comments of people have been really interesting and positive. Eventually I will! - Grow Taller Hypnosis
I just wanted to thank you for the advice on the Grow Taller MP3s you've given me a couple months ago. Since following your instructions (listening to the "restorative sleep" mp3 every night in addition) I have grown 3 centimeters in height. Thanks a lot! - Grow Taller Hypnosis
I just wanted to write and tell you how pleased I am with your golf hypnosis sessions. I'm playing the best golf of my life, way better than my 7 handicap. I am finally becoming the golfer I thought I could be. I hear your voice talking to me before every shot as I use the anchoring techniques. But this goes far beyond golf to other aspects of my life. I have never felt so strong and confident. Thank you so much Victoria. - Golf Hypnosis
I just wanted to say that I think your CDs are fantastic ( I also bought the anti-aging ones too). Your voice is perfect and the music is mesmorizing - just the right balance (I've tried a few and some had annoying voices that stopped one being hypnotised or were good, but had no music (which also can be distracting) or were processed in an odd way.. ) (I did find some which had sounds of nature like the ocean waves and bird songs which really took you somewhere which was great - so not all bad! - Anti Aging Hypnosis
Thank your for wonderful work! I've been listening to your "Improve Memory" cd and I know that my concentration and focus is much better. I have hypothyroid and estrogen dominance and I know your cd's will make a huge difference in my life!!! I look forward to listening to the others and will keep an eye out for more on your site. I can hardly wait to tell my friends and family about this...they are superstitious and wary of hypnosis. But I know they can be won over if they know that it works for someone they personally know. Many, many wonderful wishes to you Victoria! - Amazing Brain Training
Victoria: I just received two of your programs and wanted to say that, in my professional opinion as a psychotherapist in NYC, I think that you are very gifted. - Anti-Aging Hypnosis
Victoria thank you for the welcome advice. This is important to me in my circumstances. I think of you more as a friend now than just somebody making hypnosis CDs. You always give such sensible advice and judging by the testimonials on your site everybody thinks the world of you. Your CDs have helped me enormously during these difficult times. Thank you once again. Sam
Hi Victoria, My name is Bob and I am the Director of Human Resource at a health care facility in Florida. I just want to say "Thank You" for your free samples that I picked up on Youtube. I never was a believer in hypnosis, but I was met with very challenging situations at work which were beyond my skills or education. Out of desperation I tried your sample hypnosis just to see if I might gain some relief from the stress at work. I was absolutely amazed! Situations dramatically changed at work within days--not weeks or months. I was more relaxed, and I was able to effectively deal with whatever challenges that would arise during the course of the my day. What a rush to find something that works! May God bless you abundantly . Bob Rhoades
Hi Victoria, I just HAD to write to you right now, and tell you I think you are BRILLIANT, thats the word I use to describe you. I just watched all your videos on youtube, and now its 4am.. every single one of them was absolutely fantastic to watch. I did the hypnosis one, and was crying a fair bit, I am feeling scared and vulnerable at the moment in my life, but you have given me a lot of hope. Unfortunately my husband and me are broke at the moment or I would be buying MANY of your CDs, but I can watch the youtube ones for now, until I receive the money that I believe will come. (Where from I have no clue). I just really had to say thank you to you, you have helped me a lot. Your are wonderful. thank you so much. Best wishes to you and your husband, Sally Reyes.
Just wanted to let you know that I received the goodies yesterday in the mail. Thank you ever so. Discovering you is one of the highlights of my life. Carol

No, it's not your imagination, it is definitely getting hotter out there. The 8 warmest years on record have occurred over the past decade, and as much as we would all love to run out & construct a big air conditioned bubble around our community, we can't. But staying cool doesn't mean that that you are going to have to pay an arm and a leg. there are many things that you can do, at low or no cost, to help you stay cool.
#1: Go Desert! Hang a damp sheet over an open window. I know it sounds silly, but when the breeze comes through the window, the evaporating water will cool it down even more.
#2: Block out the sun! Putting up thicker curtains with a white lining, will help deflect the sun, and reduce the amount of heat that is sneaking into your home by up to 45%.
#3: Make a makeshift air conditioner! Place a shallow bowl of ice in front of a fan and enjoy. As the ice starts to melt, and then evaporates, it will cool you off for little to no cost.
#4: Spritz Yourself! Keep a spray bottle in the refrigerator and when you get hot, give yourself a squirt. As the water evaporates it will help to cool you off.
#5: Loose the Shoes! As the sweat on your feet evaporates it will cool the skin and the blood in your feet. The blood will then travel to other areas and you will get a greater cooling sensation.
#6: Spice it up! Eating hot (spicy) foods can cool you down. Chili peppers contain capsaician, a chemical compound that induces sweating. As you sweat, the water evaporates, and presto! You experience relief!
#7: Stay Hydrated! This is one that most people don't realize they aren't doing well enough. As you dehydrate, your body temperature increases, causing you to get hot faster. Avoid beverages that have alcohol, caffeine, and loads of sugar because these already have dehydrating powers of their own!
#8: Make a "Cold-Compress": Fill a cotton sock with rice & tie the open end closed. Put it in the freezer for 2 hours before bedtime. When it is time to hit the hay, slide it between the sheets. Or you can put it behind your neck, the options are endless!
#9: Relax & Read: Choose to read about things, or books, with settings in the cold. It will take your mind off of the thermometer and evoke memories of your own experiences in the cold. This will cause you to trick yourself into feeling cooler.
#10: Cook Smart! Try not to use the oven during the heat of the day. Running your oven can easily increase the room's temperature by 10˚, and the same goes for that pesky dishwasher and cloths dryer.
Try these 10 easy tricks and see how much cooler you and your wallet both are!

Thunder in the Vicinity
Wind: 3 mph
By Lisa Loomis
A long-lasting winter storm dumped between 10 and 12 inches of snow on The Valley and the mountains last weekend, leading to Mad River Glen opening for the season and not one single parking space left at Sugarbush's Lincoln Peak on Sunday, December 15.
At Mad River Glen, spokesperson Eric Friedman said that the snow was not as light as expected and the wind packed it in which was exactly what the mountain needed to open.
"It was the perfect snow for us. It was a great opening day and how often do people get to ski Mad River Glen with no bumps?" Friedman asked.
He had great praise for Mad River Glen's staffers who were able to take the resort from closed to open in one day.
Mad River opened with the Single Chair and double running and 98 percent of the mountain open. This is Mad River Glen's 65th season and the resort is holding a 65th birthday bash on Saturday, February 1, with a catered dinner, music and fireworks.
"We're kicking off our 65th season; we'll be eligible for Medicare and Social Security," Friedman joked.
The dinner will be part of a weeklong birthday celebration that begins with Roll Back the Clock Day on January 28. The celebration also includes a visit by Jeremy Davis, founder of the New England Lost Ski Area Project (nelsap.org).
At Sugarbush, parking lots overflowed as first all the parking near Clay Brook was taken, then the lower lot filled and then the lot below the snowmaking building was filled. Parking was so tight that eventually the jitneys that carry people to the base of the slopes could no longer fit between the rows! Cars were backed up down the access road, past German Flats at one point, as skiers and riders came to sample the fresh snow. The former Warren House parking lot was full and cars were parked at the Sugarbush Inn and Sugarbush Village parking lot.
"I think we were officially full," said spokesperson John Bleh.
Sugarbush is opening Mount Ellen this week on Friday, December 20. The mountain will open with top-to-bottom skiing and offer terrain for all abilities.
"With snowfall totals already over 60 inches on the season, the mountain is expected to have a large offering of natural snow trails open for the public. Snowmaking has been running on several trails over the last few weeks to compliment the natural snow. With Mt. Ellen opening, Sugarbush's total trail count is expected to rise to over 70 trails moving into the holidays," Bleh said.
This season Mt. Ellen is celebrating its 50th anniversary of being open. There will be a celebration held from Thursday, January 9, through Sunday, January 12, with numerous events paying homage to many of Mt. Ellen's time-honored customs. Events include a 1963-priced ski day, après events, vintage ski movies, races and more.
For the first time in history the big terrain park, located on the Riemergasse Trail, will be fully open for Mt. Ellen's opening day. The park was named a Top 5 East Coast Terrain Park by Transworld Snowboarding last season for its unique assortment of jib features and dedicated park staff.
Sugarbush and Mad River Glen have full holiday calendars for the coming days.
At Sugarbush there are numerous culinary events available including a Beer Dinner with von Trapp Brewery, a family-friendly pig roast, a Timbers Wine Dinner featuring the wines of Italy, a family Italian dinner with street performers and much more.
Win Smith, president of Sugarbush Resort, will be hosting a Q&A and book signing for his new book Catching Lightning in a Bottle: How Merrill Lynch Revolutionized the Financial World on Monday, December 30.
For kids there are kids' pizza and movie nights, sunset groomer rides, holiday cookie decorating, a dog sled demonstration and a kids' cooking class among others.
Additional events include photography exhibits, art showings, wine tastings, a Birds of Prey presentation by the Vermont Institute of Natural Sciences and a 4orty Bridge Boutique trunk show. There are guided snowshoe hikes, family snowman-building contests, guided nature photography tours and much more.
Dog owners and lovers alike can partake in the fourth annual dog parade at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, January 31, with their K9 friend in his or her most festive costume and parade through the Gate House Courtyard. The registration fee goes towards PAWSitive Pantry, a nonprofit helping pets whose owners have fallen on hard times.
The holiday celebration caps off with fireworks and a torchlight parade at 7 p.m. followed by the annual New Year's Eve soiree featuring dinner and dancing at Timbers Restaurant starting at 9 p.m. The fun continues across the courtyard in Castlerock Pub where The Detonators will be playing through midnight as well.
A full calendar of events including times and pricing can be found at sugarbush.com.
At Mad River Glen there are naturalist programs slated every day during the holiday week with a new program offered on Saturdays at 1:30 p.m. when the staff naturalist will pose a weekly challenge question. The following Saturday, the person with the first right answer will receive a voucher for a free naturalist program. All others with the right answer will get a Mad River Glen bumper sticker.
On New Year's Eve, Mad River Glen will host a family potluck, show movies and have a bonfire. The event is geared to families. It starts at 6:30 p.m. and ends at 10:30 p.m.
