[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]

It’s 10:00 am. Do you know what your child is learning? 

Patricia Rose Upczak, owner (19+ years) of Synchronicity Publishing LLC, happyteachershappystudents.com and producer of The International Conference of Creative Thinking and Education is guest on The Kathleen O’Keefe-Kanavos Show, aired LIVE Wednesdays 6:00-6:30 pm PT.

Patricia Rose’s small publishing company is dedicated to creating materials that enhance people’s lives of all ages, but especially children ages nine through eleven.  The main subjects her books cover are reiki, synchronicity coincidences, symbology, and metaphysical mysteries for children. Synchronicity Publishing is now working on books that enhance education in a more positive and significant way.

Patricia Rose Upczak also is the brains behind The International Conference of Creative Thinking.

About this awesome conference…. The International Conference of Creativity, Thinking & Education is filled with groundbreaking educators, thinkers and creatives. The goal of the conference is to have attendees expand their professional and personal horizons. The forum will be conducive to allowing all of us to explore the leading edge of creativity, brain-based education and techniques to relieve stress in our daily lives.

Q.)   Patricia Rose, why do you call the presenters at this conference groundbreaking?

          A.) Patricia Rose:  All of our presenters this year are knowledgeable, powerful and unique in many areas.

Q.)  Can you give us some examples?

           A.)  Yes. Sharon Promislow, the author of Making The Brain Body Connection gives transformative, interactive workshops. We are very lucky to have her on both days of the conference.  Tim Gangwer is a pioneer in the field of visual literacy, and is a multi-award songwriter. He will also be presenting on both days. Our panel is absolutely amazing and the title will give you an idea of how creative our panelists are. It is called “Orbiting the Giant Hairball in Education.”  Over the years I have seen NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming Technique) do amazing things both professionally and personally for so many people.It is a powerful technique. We are very lucky to have Executive NLP Coach and Master Trainer, Bill Thomason giving an interactive workshop for all of us.  We also have re-known photographer John Schaefer doing his workshop on Mapptivities where he will be doing trainings and giving away software to all the attendee. He is the founder of the Children’s Media Workshop. His work is in the Library of Congress Master Photographers Collection. He was the original Sundance documentary artist and is still connected to Sundance. And there are many more equally talented presenters throughout the weekend.

  1. What do you hope the attendees get out of this conference?

       A.)  I hope everyone who attends comes away feeling more empowered. I hope they are guided to develop some of the techniques they are shown for themselves. I hope they find ways to relieve the daily stress in their lives and realize that we live in a multifaceted world full of different perspectives and ways to develop our own happiness. I believe that teachers especially are so important for not only our children, but for our future world. We all have to learn how to nurture ourselves, and each other in healthy ways.

Q.) Last but not least what are the details of the International Conference of Creativity, Thinking & Education if people want more information?

         A.) The conference takes place at the University of St. Thomas in the Schulze Auditorium in Minneapolis, MN on April 18th and 19th, 2015. For more information on all of our presenters, and how to register go to www.happyteachershappystudents.com.

5 Steps to Becoming Successful at Making a Change

5 Steps to Becoming Successful at Making a Change



“Asking is a powerful gift you can give yourself and others.”

~Kim Fuller, Life Coach.

“Asking is a powerful gift you can give yourself and others.”

~Kim Fuller, Life Coach.

;Have you ever wondered what would cause someone to become a Life Coach? And what exactly does it mean to be one?

We’ve all heard of football or basketball coaches, but a Life Coach? That sounds like a serious calling.  Accountability is important to success and Kim Fuller, Life Coach and CEO, Fuller Life Concepts, talks about the responsibilities she fulfills and shares her 5 Steps  to become successful at obtaining your goals and making the changes you need to live a Fuller Life.




On my weekly radio show, The Kathleen O’Keefe-Kanavos Show –Your G-Spot:  Guidance, which airs LIVE on Wednesdays at 3:00 pm PT (6:00pm EST), I asked Kim Fuller how, why and when she became a Life Coach and how she continued to live life to its fullest after the untimely death of her beloved husband. She shared her personal and professional growth of being a solo mom, widow, and entrepreneur, and the life lessons she received along her journey to a Fuller woman.



Here are some of Kim Fuller’s incredible responses. The rest of her conversation can be heard by clicking the Radio show Link below.



Kim Fuller: “I am a life coach and marriage and family therapist.  I started in non-profit mental health working with severely emotionally disturbed children and their families.  Mostly mothers brought in their children and I realized the mothers were not receiving the additional support for their personal lives.  I became a mother and had my own struggles with balancing life, after the death of my husband.  I officially started my business after his death and went through the ups and downs of being a solo mom and entrepreneur.  I decided to devote my coaching practice to helping Moms and Entrepreneurs, like me, reach their goals to experience business and personal life goals.



Kathleen:  “What makes FLC (Fuller Life Concepts) so special to people seeking guidance or change? ”

Kim Fuller: “Fuller Life Concepts, Inc has a step by step Fuller Lifestyle system all clients go through.  This system is designed to bring awareness to the connection between what you think and feel and how to stay accountable to your goals.”

Kathleen: “As a coach, what do you think is a client’s biggest struggle?”

Kim: “I mirror my clients.  My biggest struggle is the same as theirs. It’s finding a livable balance between being Independent and asking for help.  Realizing that being Independent and self-sufficient is an important skill, but also being able to ask for help and accept it when it is offered is also important.  Finding that balance and realizing that asking is not admitting that you can’t, nor is it a reflection on your abilities or self-worth.

Kathleen- “Why do you think we feel the need to do it all? Especially women? “

Kim: “We get pressure from our families, religion, media, that we are expected to do it all.  We accept that pressure as fact.  We continue to move and try to do it all until we fall apart.  We now live in a time when we work full time and still tackle home life and taking care of others full time.  We try to live up to what is expected.  We want to feel competent and accomplished.  But at what cost?  I want to help my clients to not experience so much overwhelm.  I help them see how asking and accepting is a beautiful experience.  I had to learn the hard way after the death of my husband while my daughter was 10 months old.  I tried to do it all and failed.  As part of being an author in the #1 Amazon best seller: Mommy Divas on the Move: 16 essential secrets for Mompreneurs, I share my journey of learning to be Dependent and that it’s not a bad word.”



Kathleen – “I love that name.  Mompreneurs!”



Here are Kim’s 5 Life Coaching steps to help you move through the change process and learn to stay accountable to your goals in both individual and group formats. Especially if you are a Mommy Diva on the Move.

 Step 1. Need for Me– self exploration. Find your passion, take care of your own needs, visions and desires.

Step 2.  Be able to express yourself openly.  Become comfortable with identifying your feelings, inner thoughts and inner messages. We all have feelings and sometimes we keep them locked up inside.



Step 3 Feelings are energy.  Imagine you are a balloon. You can only take in so much air before you burst.  Find a place to put your feelings so you don’t keep them inside, which can lead to stress, headaches, and disease.



Step 4 Create quality connections and find the support you deserve.



Step 5 Find balance through fun and relaxation.



“If you are someone ready for change, take the first step with self-exploration and determine,” Kim says.  “We all have good intentions and start off the year with big goals – the gyms are filled with people who want to make life change.  But, we don’t have magic wands that will magically make things happen.  Kind of like when my mother buys a new vacuum she says it doesn’t work – that’s because the sales man didn’t come with the machine and it doesn’t work by itself.  If you are ready to commit yourself to your goals, I am willing to help and support. I’ll be your cheerleader and encourager, but you have to do the work.”



Kathleen- “This radio show is turned into a blog on my blog site, so if one of the readers or listeners of the show needs help with change, how can they contact you or listen to your radio show?”

Kim- “I can be contacted through my website www.stayaccountabletoyourgoals.com or by phone 323 336-2294 I am in California Pacific time zone. My radio show isChange is Personal and airs on the Amazing Women of Power Radio network www.awoptalk247.com   Change is Personal airs at 9:30am PST on Mondays. I have guests who share their change process of going from tragedy to triumph and the steps they took to get there.”

Astrology Predictions for 2015: Counting Green Sheep in Your Dreams of Love

Astrology Predictions for 2015: Counting Green Sheep in Your Dreams of Love

Quote: “In order to effectively battle crisis, you must get in touch with your inner-selves and work together toward the goal of survival.” ~Kathleen (Kat) O’Keefe-Kanavos/author

By Kathleen (Kat) O’Keefe-Kanavos, TV Producer/Host and Author/Lecturer of the International bestselling book, Surviving Cancerland: Intuitive Aspects of Healing which promotes patient advocacy and connecting with Inner-guidance for success in health, wealth and relationships.

30 sec award winning Access Your Inner Guide Video for Health in 2015

Have you hear the saying, “Out of chaos comes order?” The year 2015 is going to be the year of endless possibilities, in numerology, Western Astrology, Chinese Birth Charts and Feng Shui. Out of the chaos of 2014’s Wooden Horse we see the new beginning shift into order. With the knowledge contained  in this blog you can arm yourself with the necessary information to make great choices in health, wealth and love in the up coming new year. Your dreams may be more important for guidance  than ever before.

Do you ever pray for help?  The answers may come in your dreams. Those dreams can be daydreams; moments when your mind wanders to a beach beyond time and space and wades in the waters of Universal Wisdom from the Ocean of Gnosis, the esoteric knowledge of spiritual truth. There, we receive answers from our Higher Power.

As a three-time breast cancer survivor whose dreams diagnosed illness missed by the medical community and the tests on which they relied, I understand the importance of dreams, female intuition and Inner-guidance, which diagnosed my stage-four breast cancer recurrence. That is as lucky as winning the lottery three times in a row. Luck had little to do with it. Divine intervention did. I learned that the power of science goes so far, and then comes our Higher Power.

We were all born with Guardian-angels and Spirit-guides. We are their job and they take that job seriously.  Dreams are doorways to Inner-guidance where your ET (Eternal Teacher) phones home for help during difficult times. Miraculously, someone always answers the call. How will the astrological and numerical changes in 2015 effect your dreams for Inner-guidance?

A New Year resolution usually involves giving up something to improve your life. For 2015 choose to be different and add Inner-guidance. Start with a dream journal or recording device beside your bed. Then begin a dialogue with your inner self as you learn your dream language.

Out with the old Chinese 2014 Horse and in with the new 2015 symbol; Green Wooden Sheep. The first day of Green Wooden Sheep is February 4, 2015. Chinese New Year Day is on February 19, China Standard Time. The Year 2015 is the 4712th Chinese Year.

Are you a Rat, Pig or Cow? Do you know your Chinese Zodiac Sign? Your birthrate is below it.

Chinese Astrology uses one’s birthday and birth time to predict their fortune.

 The astrological birth chart is built by the Chinese Astrology Calendar, which is a

combination counting system of Yin-Yang Five Elements and 12 animals. The Five Elements are

Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth. The twelve animal are Rat, Cow, Tiger, Dragon, Snake, Horse,

Sheep, Monkey, Chicken, Dog and Pig.

The 2015 Feng Shui yearly predictions for the sheep foretell that this is your year.

So make the most of it. Do not let your stupid actions or ego come in the way of success. The sheep

can be timid, as the name implies, but rest assured, anything you get involved in, you are passionate

about. The year 2015 opens new, creative avenues for you. Your career takes an unexpected but

welcomed turn. Be thrifty, as your bank account will see highs and lows in the coming year.

2015 will be an Inner-guidance turning point for many people, especially those born in the sheep year of 8.  If you were lucky in the past two years, then you will maintain your achievements. If you were unlucky the last two years, 2015 brings the opportunity to create your future. This is because Sheep contains the Female Earth, which grows plants, and helps to create something from nothing.  2015 is all about teamwork. Sheep were born 1931-02-17—1932-02-05.(see chart above)

Numerology:  2015 is an 8-Year. 8 will manifest the physical world. 8 is the infinity sign standing at attention, which makes for limitless possibilities concerning answers to dreams, prayers and meditations. The number 8 in the Bible represents a new beginning, meaning a new order or creation, and man’s true ‘born again’ event when he is resurrected from the dead into eternal life. 2015 will be a year of new beginnings with order replacing chaos. Out of the chaos of 2014 comes order.

In the Chinese culture the lucky number 8 has strong intuition and insight, so 2015 will have the potential to explore things undiscovered. Because Eight has the similar pronunciation with wealth or fortune, 8 is very welcome among Chinese people. The popularity of 8 was observed in relation to the Beijing Olympic Games which began exactly at eight o’clock, eight minutes on the eighth day of the eighth month in 2008. When people in China choose telephone numbers, mobile numbers, house numbers, car identification numbers and important dates, 8 is usually the first choice.

8’s in love! What kind of a love-life pattern will an 8 year possess and how may it affect us? An 8 year sees far more life-long love pledges. Lovers are very considerate and enthusiastic. They are even willing to sacrifice their own interests to keep the relationship everlasting. Generally speaking, the love they are seeking for is the combination of friendship, business partnership and also lifelong romance.

What does the 2015 Inner Guidance Horoscope hold for you and your loved ones?

During challenging times that may question your resolve, your Power Word may hold the key to answers. Stand in your power in 2015.

What dreams of health, wealth and love do you share? Are you madly in love with someone or is there someone you can’t stand, but don’t know why? Were you sexually attracted to someone only to find that the sparks didn’t fly in the bedroom? Their Astrological signs may hold the answer. These astrological predictions for 2015 include sexual signs. The first combination is “Hot” and the second “Not” and why.

4 Techniques to Avoid Winter Make-up Sins.

Holidays and parties go together like New and Year. You have been working on your weight and health to get into that beautiful dress for a special celebration. Great!

But is your skin a sin to behold?

Although Halloween is over, would your winter make-up still frighten small children?

As one of the C3TV hosts for Wicked Housewives On Cape Cod, making sure my make-up is not a sin is very important because the HD cameras magnify every cosmetic mistake or flaky flaw tenfold.

Your skin is a breathing organ. It the largest organ you possess and one with which you cannot live.

Therefore, you must care for your skin  and keep it as healthy and beautiful just as you would your hair, teeth and physique.  It is one of the few organs not moisturized from the inside out. Cold weather from outdoors and heated air indoors from homes and workplaces take a toll on skin, especially your face which faces the daily elements.

First impressions are lasting ones. Make them beautiful. 

Moisturize twice daily, morning and night, to reduce beauty sins and create glowing results. End your nightly routine and begin your daily one with clean skin that radiates health  from under your makeup.

Here are four “skin sins” to avoid and steps to help you make a warm and lasting impression on anyone you meet during the cold winter months.

1.) Dry Skin Sin– apply moisturizer and then primer under make-up foundation. It avoids the “wrinkled map look” that can leave people staring at your face looking for the X that marks the spot.  That spot needs extra moisturizer.

If a dog is man’s best friend, primer can be a girl’s best friend.

Primer can:

a.) hold your makeup in place so it does not “travel” to wrinkles that will begin to look

like the Grand Canyons

b.) trap  moisture on your face and keep it from evaporating from beneath your make-up

foundation for that all-day healthy glow.

c.) be tinted and worn alone without make-up for the same glowing results

2.) Dry Lip Sin– apply rich lip moisturizer at night right BEFORE bed, so it has 8 hours to work. This will help you avoid the “prune lips” look with lipstick. Dry cracked lips look worse with lipstick.   Keep your lip balm beside your bed. Reapply it in the morning and remove any extra before applying lipstick.

3.) Chapped Hands Sin- apply a rich moisturizer at night BEFORE bed so it works while you sleep. Your hands and face are the first places people look when they meet you. Reapply in the morning AFTER your shower and makeup. This will keep it on your hands longer. Apply a small amount of cream to hands throughout the day  after you wash them.  Keep your hand moisturizer beside your bed with your lip balm. If your hands are very chapped, wear a pair of light weight household cleaning gloves while you sleep over the moisturizer. I will keep the moisturizer on your hands and off your sheets.

4.) Powder on Dry Skin Sin- Powder makeup on dry skin makes lines look like dry river beds. It draws attention to flaky areas and is drying. Powder on dry skin accentuates sin number one and two. Rather than using bronzing powder, use a bronzing cake-makeup or liquid.

Remember, the name of the game during the cold and drying winter months is Moisturize.

Take care of your skin and it will take care of you.
