When Evergreen was established in 1992, our slogan was EVERGREEN, EVER GROWING. Since then, although we’ve achieved a level of success that suits us, we’re always exploring new directions. We’re now focusing on helping our affiliate, James, develop his Evergreen office in Modesto. I (Ginny) am pleased to announce that barely into his second year, James has already outgrown his first location on J Street and is looking for something larger. Way to go, James. (This means another opening celebration soon. J Date/time TBA.)

Our book, Charming Children, has also grown… from newborn to toddler. We’re genuinely proud of the progress we’ve made in promoting it to parents and other care providers of small children. We’ve recently produced an AUDIO VERSION (available after 3/12) and there is an E-BOOK version of Charming Children looming close on the horizon. Stay tuned for details.

Speaking of staying tuned, James and Frank will soon be co-hosting a RADIOBLOG! Frank brings many years of clinical experience to this show, and James brings 10 years of stage hypnosis plus his experience helping countless clients. Two bright guys who are passionate about what they do and who look forward to sharing their knowledge with listeners -- what’s not to love? Give them a couple of weeks to get up and running, then you can find them at:

Our SELF-HYPNOSIS class is being offered for its 15^th year at SJDC in Stockton. The registration fee includes a self-hypnosis CD that supports students’ ongoing practice of the techniques taught in the class. For more information call the community education office at 209-954-5013 (or our Evergreen office at 209-472-0722) OR click on www.adultedreg.com/Delta and type in “Hypnosis Helps.” This is a class we love to teach, consistently rewarded by highly favorable evaluations. Most of our students leave knowing more about hypnosis than many professionals know! Register early. Walk-ins may be disappointed to find doors locked if a class cancels due to low pre-enrollment.

Another new development:  A book that Frank and I wrote years ago for use with our Science of Success Class has recently been modified to stand alone. It will be available soon on Amazon and through our web site.  Title:　 Affirming Success And Prosperity (ASAP)!　 This book includes a scientific explanation of the success strategies Frank and I used effectively in accomplishing our personal and professional goals and an opportunity for readers to learn and practice the same techniques in an easy, efficient, and enjoyable way in order to achieve their own level of success. We’re not just passing along knowledge, we’re living proof that what we teach works. Our marriage of 35 years, our business of nearly 20, our standing and stability in the community, and the awards we have won all speak for themselves. Bottom line: We’ve done it. In ASAP We share the secrets to our success and show you how to put them to use in your own life.

We complement each other in many ways. Frank, for example, enjoys people and the more of them, the merrier. He is active in the Chamber, is an incoming president of BNI, a member of Successful Thinkers in Stockton and Lodi, as well as Stockton Women’s Network. I, on the other hand prefer smaller groups, where interaction is more personal. I mention this because I’ve recently become involved in a new lead club that I’m enjoying a lot, and I’d like to invite interested readers to check it out. All it costs you is what you decide to eat or drink for breakfast!
