Rehearse to yourself affirmations, visualizations, and new emotions that align with a new belief about yourself. Also meditate on future successes like where you will be, what you will be doing, who you will meet. Bring all you senses to the scene — what do you see, feel, hear, taste, and smell? Creating an action plan of what you will do to move forward. You can take control over it instead of it taking control of you. Please share with me by posting in the comment field what has gripped you with fear and what can you do right now to dethrone it?

  • The Renouncers: Who Gave up U.S. Citizenship, and Why?
    August 2, 2012 The Renouncers: Who Gave Up U.S. Citizenship, and Why? By Laura Saunders The latest list of renouncers is out. One is a buyout specialist at the Carlyle Group, another a private equity executive at J.P. Morgan Chase. There’s also a big-law partner, an international socialite, an Israeli Supreme Court justice and a London-based artist. Each one recently renounced U.S. citizenship or turned in a long-held “green card” conferring permanent-resident status in the U.S. Their names appeared on a quarterly list published last Friday by the Treasury Department, as required by law since 1996. The list contained 189 names, far fewer than other recent lists. Some experts speculated the number dropped because many Americans who planned to expatriate while tax rates were both low and certain have already done so. (Current tax rates expire at the end of 2012.) Because there’s about a six-month delay between a renunciation and publication on the Treasury’s list, other experts expect a surge latter this year. The first list for 2012 revealed renunciations by Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin and by Denise Rich, the ex-wife of commodities trader Marc Rich. Saverin now lives in Singapore and Rich is a citizen of Austria, according to their spokesmen. Few people in a sampling of names on the new list contacted by The Wall Street Journal were willing to discuss why they expatriated. They included Carlyle Group managing director Gregory Zeluck, a buyout specialist based in Hong Kong; Myron Zhu, head of private equity at J.P.

Introduction Keith Raniere continues to assert his complete innocence to these charges. He does, of course, recognize that a jury convicted him of very serious crimes, ironically crimes that he and others in NXIVM have been seeking to prevent others from committing for many years. The jury’s verdict, however, did not reflect the quality of the evidence, but rather was a product of a media campaign involving witnesses who were motivated to testify falsely, a heavy-handed prosecution that threatened potential defense witnesses and, most respectfully, an unfair trial where, we believe, the Court was not provided with full, candid information from the prosecution. Therefore, Mr. Raniere objects to this Court moving this matter on to sentencing because of these significant violations of his due process rights, as well as perjury by critical witnesses1 and threatening actions taken by the Government toward potential defense witnesses,2 events that individually and in combination defeated his right to a fair trial.
