I had read this months ago. Of course it would not be advertised on this forum or anywhere else; wouldn't be good for business. Lucinda also sold the StressCenter.com to another company in Oct '08(Transom Capital I think) but remains actively involved in this program. She has been on QVC quite a few times this year selling a 5 day stress program. She looked very nice and was very professional and seemed sincere in wanting to help people. You can go to there website and search by her name to view the product. I also recall the forum techs posting on all sections that she would be on QVC.
With that said, there is no one to blame in suicide...not even the person who felt the need to do that. It is a sad situation for any family that has the unfortunate experience happen to them. No one is immune, this can happen to any family. Doesn't matter if you live in the inner city or an exclusive beach community, suicide doesn't discriminate.
I also agree wit James789.
This forum is nothing like it used to be years ago. I used to be an active poster in 2001-2004. There were some great people on here and we all helped each other. Now, it isn't the same.
Finished program - read this important info!!!

Wow, I sure didn't mean to offend anyone or have an agenda. I realize I could have come across that way, and I agree and thank Julie F. for her insights.I want to stress (as I did in my original post) that I think it is a good program, and I finished it months ago. I just wanted to give IMHO some of the things that I did not agree with personally. I think forums should be for healthy discussion, not just praise.
Lucinda seems like a sincere person, and her husband's problems were mentioned to show you how this can affect anyone. After all, she is a public figure. And the same program has been used for years; I feel it could be modernized some. Her personal life and marital problems with her past husband were mentioned in the program, so I hardly thought it was inappropriate to mention his death here since it appeared in Wiki and the newspaper.
Just wanted to post a follow-up. I never posted here before, and thought I would give some thoughts of a person who has completed it. I have to admit I feel a little "attacked" and would hesitate to politely express my opinion again here.
Again, I think overall it is a very good program and it did help me.

oops, forgot to ask if anyone has heard about her new 5 day program selling on QVC? i don't want to invest in it again if it is a condensed version of the one I already have. Reviews I have seen are mixed. Some people think she can only produce perfect programs, others feel she is a "scam artist". I think she is good overall, but as I said before, some areas could be improved, IMO. As I noted in my original post, people will spend thousands (or they don't care because their insurance does) and not complain about their med/doctor cost.Maggie

Thank you James 789. I couldn't agree with you more. Life is no "fairy tale" and is not always positive. Dealing with reality without over-reacting and over sensitizing every minute detail every second of the day and thinking too much about everything is why people write on this forum in the first place.
Tragedies happen. We all must learn and struggle throughout life with negative situations. It's how we react (in our minds) that matters the most, not the situation itself, as hard as that may sound. That's what this program tries to convey, IMHO.
Reacting "in our minds," whether acted out or not, defines a healthy or unhealthy self image. No one is perfect. We all fall short, as I "stated in my original post."
A healthy forum is created by honesty and support, not "fluff." If I wanted fluff, I would watch "Mary Poppins."
And, guess what, sometimes I might want fluff and will watch "Mary Poppins" if I feel like it. Whatever works or helps and doesn't hinder a person's thinking pattern is good, as long as it doesn't harm anyone else along the way.
Of course, that should go without saying, but heaven forbid, I don't want to say anything "politically incorrect." Unfortunately (fortunately IMHO), I guess I already have. We all have feelings that don't want to be "hurt," mine included.
Can we be more supportive and less defensive? That would be a good thing.
That being said, I hope people in this forum support each other and do encourage each other and write positive feedback, not destructive and judgmental speak. There's a fine line between helping and hindering others.
