Tatiana  Kalispera,

Good to hear you on List! How are you doing, how is your Tony? How 
are you as a couple?
I think I should like to study somewhere in Greece, perhaps in 
Athens. Do you know of any such opportunity?
I would love to hear from you, Tatiana!
greetings for today, Carly Mihalakis    /16/2013, you wrote:

>>Dear All,
>>    As many of you know, Merry and I recently launched Kairos 
>> Health & Wellness Center, providing hypnotherapy, coaching, 
>> counseling, and self-help workshops. On Friday, January 4, we 
>> hosted an open house to formally kick-off our business. It was a 
>> pleasant surprise when a reporter for the Tampa Tribune showed up 
>> to the event and interviewed Merry and me, as well as a few of the 
>> guests. Below is the article that appears in today's Tampa 
>> tribune. For those of you who can and like to see photos, the 
>> actual online story can be found at

>>Couple opens hypnosis center in Brandon . Merry Schoch and Marion 
>>Gwizdala used the Greek word "kairos" as the name for their 
>>coaching, counseling and hypnosis center because it means "the 
>>right time. For the "power couple," the right time is the present, 
>>when individuals can make positive change. The couple, married four 
>>years, hosted a grand opening reception Jan. 4 for Kairos Health & 
>>Wellness Center, 911 S. Parsons Ave., Suite K. The two will work 
>>separately with clients as well as team up for classes based on 
>>"The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" for adults, teens and 
>>families and prosperity preacher Joel Osteen's "Living Your Best 
>>Life Now. It's using positive spiritual verses to change," said 
>>Schoch, who met her blind, hypnotherapist husband at a guide-dog 
>>training class. God wants great things for us. He is not punishing 
>>us when bad things happen. Schoch, a registered social worker 
>>intern with some sight limitations, counsels individuals and 
>>families while Gwizdala uses hypnosis to help people quit smoking 
>>or achieve other goals. She said the biggest challenge for parents 
>>is getting on the same page with their spouse and being consistent. 
>>She helps restore communication breakdowns in the family. You can't 
>>let your child run the show," she said. Sometimes you have to do 
>>tough love. There is also consistency and talking with dignity and 
>>respect. I'm very strength-based - let's focus on the positive. 
>>Gwizdala said people often use the new year as an excuse to change 
>>their lives, but they can change anytime. He said about 80 percent 
>>of his hypnosis clients want help to quit smoking. I direct people 
>>to look at the present and future rather than the past," he said. A 
>>lot of people have been told nicotine is the problem, but the 
>>problem is the habit. Most of the smoking behavior is urges. It's 
>>the thought, the memory. The Rev. Virginia Walsch, the founding 
>>minister of Unity North Tampa Church, said Gwizdala has helped 
>>several members of her congregation break longtime habits through 
>>hypnosis. Gwizdala a
>>lso serves as the music director at the church. He has a very 
>>positive attitude," Walsch said. He is always upbeat. We think very 
>>highly of him. He has been an inspiration because of his sight 
>>limitations. A lot of people don't know he is blind because he 
>>handles himself so well. Sue Spensberger, a member of Unity North 
>>Tampa Church, said Gwizdala engages the entire congregation through 
>>music. He's the life of the party," said Spensberger, who uses the 
>>power of positive thinking in her own life. He's a wonderful guy. 
>>Jessica Price of Valrico, a licensed clinical social worker, works 
>>in a neighboring office space at the Brandon Business Center. They 
>>are a nice addition," said Price, who attended the reception. I 
>>work with kids and families. Merry has been able to come in and 
>>work with me on a case with a 3-year-old. She brings her dog, 
>>Kappy, a black Labrador retriever. They are just wonderful. For 
>>more information on Kairos Health & Wellness Center, call (813) 598-7161.
