If you have children (or you are just trying to be a better parent to yourself), tune-in to ‘Gloom to Bloom,’ segment at Lisa.fmThe mother/daughter team of Michiko and Grace Rolek offer simple tips for how to turnaround a stressful or tense situation, through a simple attitude adjustment, how to go from ‘Gloom to Bloom.’
Michiko is the great granddaughter of the first Zen Master to come to America, and her daughter, Grace, is an actress and voice over artist who has parts in Disney and other cartoons, including the role of the ‘shy bunny’ in the Kung Fu Panda short film, “The Secrets of the Furious Five.” The 20 minute story is included as a bonus disk in the Kung Fu Panda movie DVD.
In order to assist Grace with the stress of auditioning for parts, and working in the entertainment industry, Michiko has created a series of mindfulness techniques she calls “Zen Mommy and Me.”
Go from Gloom to Bloom
One way to turn around a stressful situation is to go from ‘Gloom to Bloom,’ using calm, deep breathing as an attitude adjustment.Michiko calls Gloom to Bloom “a mood magic tool… where we use mindfulness to non-judgmentally observe ourselves getting mad or sad, and choose to mentally shift from gloomy frustration to blooming fascination with the potential of turning an obstacle or any difficulty into a learning opportunity.”
The deep breathing allows you to center and readjust your attitude in any stressful situation.Of course, it may take a few breaths to get beyond a truly stressful situation.
“Take as many breaths as needed, breathe a little deeper and slower, you will start to calm down and be centered, and see things differently,” suggests Michiko.
“Just like Aladdin and Jasmine on their magic carpet ride, they see everything in a new way because they’re at a higher viewpoint,” adds eleven-year old Grace.

The youngest Palin daughter is the ONLY aspect of the US Presidential race that hasn’t reached burnout proportions
What a relief to learn I’m not the only one fascinated by seven year old Piper Palin, the youngest daughter in the Palin clan.Newsweek recently featured a story “Piper, Please Don’t Drop Him!”The writer, a mom, admits she too is riveted when she sees Piper on TV, often caught on tape lugging her infant brother around.Though the writer goes on to explain that she’s mortified at the thought that Piper will wind up dropping the baby on national TV!
Piper’s popularity index soared following her prime time debut at the Republican National convention, when cameras caught her applying a little spit-shine to baby brother’s hair.Then there were the videos on You Tube calling for Piper to run for the White House in 2044.These days, there are entire slide shows on news websites devoted to photos of Piper.She’s even featured on tabloid TV shows, schmoozing with the media on the campaign jet.Piper signs autographs.Piper poses with reporters.Piper says ‘vote for my mom.’
