My Dear Friend & POTUS, JRB,

Are you ready? Of course, you are! So am I.

We are both having big days. Yours is much bigger than mine, nonetheless, tomorrow will be a very different day than today.

As you know, I am a fan of the idea that God is Change, so I am delighted that a huge force of energy will surge through our lives today.

As you may recall, I will be living in a new place, about 15 miles from Davis, in West Sacramento. Today we are moving a bed, two dressers, a book case & “the project.” We got a small moving truck so we could transport the project without damaging it. My husband built it under the tutelage of Wendy Maruyama, master woodworker. It’s a masterpiece! We can feature it prominently in our new place so it gets the admiration it deserves. I digress.

Back to our big days. My move does not depend on my performance, beyond keeping calm & relishing the process & expressing gratitude for all those who are assisting me.

Your debate will be quite taxing, demanding you employ every neuron to fire at just the right time.

I suggest we both employ the mantra, “Deep breath, slow exhale.”

Performance coach, Jonathan Rhodes, Ph.D, emphasizes that powerful breathing techniques can give you an edge & says that CO2 tolerance is the key to enhanced cognitive function. We are at our best when we use our diaphragm to fill “the lower lobes of the lungs, which have a denser capillary network & have a positive influence on the vagus nerve.”

Sighing at just the right moments would not only contribute to your mental acuity, it could have a nice dramatic effect.

I am so excited for both of us. It’s going to be a special day!!!

BYBS!!!!
