Many dogs will make too much noise when visitors arrive. If your dog doesn't bark, you might consider yourself lucky. On the other hand, you may want to teach her to bark for security reasons, or because you have a big house and can't hear people knock. Give the "speak" command as you knock. Reward your dog for barking. After several rounds of knocking and asking to "speak", you want your dog to start barking at the knock alone. Reward your dog and give lavish praise if she barks. Practice this over several days to be sure your dog has it down. You can do the same training with the doorbell. Have a friend or family member outside to ring it for you. You may need to give the "speak" command the first couple of times. After that, drop the command and let the dog respond to the knocking. Again, you can do the same training with a doorbell. As instructed earlier, start by asking for the correct behavior multiple times before giving a treat. Then work in sessions with no treats.

Summary: Be sure you want your dog to bark when people come to the door. Stand by the door and knock on it. Drop the "speak" command and knock only. Have a friend or family member come to the door and knock. Gradually phase out treats.

Visualise it glowing in flaming blue light. Perform the Sign of the Enterer and vibrate YOD HEH VAV HEH (yode-heh-vahv-heh). Perform the sign of silence. These lines connect your pentagrams. Perform the sign of silence, remembering to keep your right arm out in front of you. You should now be surrounded by four blue flaming pentagrams in the 4 equal corners of your circle you've just made.

Summary: Move to the east of your area (or at least be facing east) and trace with your finger/wand/Athame a large banishing pentagram in the air before you. Keeping your finger or tip of dagger in the center of your pentagram, move to the south quarter, and trace a bright white line to the center of the south of your circle. Trace another pentagram the same way, now perform the sign of the enterer and vibrate ADONAI (ah-doe-nye). Carry the white line of light to the west, repeat the steps of tracing and charging your pentagram, but this time vibrate EHEIEH (eh-hey-yay). Carry the light to the north, do the same one last time, and vibrate AGLA (ah-gah-la) Carry the white line of light back to the east, and connect all your pentagrams together. Walk back to the center of your circle and turn clockwise to face east.

You might not spend the time checking yourself out each month because cancer doesn't run in your family, you are young, you feel healthy, or maybe you tend to put things off. However, you may want to familiarize yourself with how healthy breasts normally feel. Do this right after a period because this is when natural breast lumps will be at their smallest. The upper breast tissue either feels long and thick or uneven and rounded. The lower breast feels smoother. Some random spots feel slightly bumpy normally; just be aware of changes each month. Different symptoms will alert you to a possible problem. Being familiar with each of them is something that you should add to your to-do-list! Educating ourselves is the best defense when it comes our health. Be aware that some tenderness or lumpiness can occur around the time of your period. If it doesn't go away by your next cycle, be concerned. If your breasts get red, become irritated, or the skin is flaky, you might want to see a doctor. If your nipple looks like it is flipped inside out (unless it usually looks this way), make an appointment. If your nipples produce any red, brown, yellow, or clear fluids, it's time for a check-up. It is integral that you do not delay seeking a physician's advice if you notice a change in or around your breasts. It is always better to be informed. Avoid thinking about the worse case scenario at this point, though. Make your appointment as soon as possible. The longer that you wait, the worse off you will be if the tumor or other symptom is a sign of cancer. Talk to friends and co-workers. Ask other women if they've ever had a similar experience and ask about the outcome. Hearing some positive stories will stop you from completely losing it. Panicking just gets your cortisol levels going. An uptake in cortisol is going to make you crave sugary, fatty, no-good-for-you foods. Drink some chamomile tea and calm down, as you need to stay healthy. It might be scary when you find a lump or other abnormality. Don't freak out, though! It is more than likely that your lump is not cancerous, but you must receive confirmation of that from a doctor. Some lumps are just cysts. Cysts, which are filled with fluid, occur due to hormonal changes and it is common for women to experience them at some point in their lives. Other lumps might just be benign tumors. These are the result of tissue that has simply formed too quickly and is a bit abnormal as a result. You might be experiencing mastitis. This is an infection and the primary cause is breastfeeding. It can easily be treated with antibiotics.

Summary: Become familiar with how your breasts feel. Know the warning signs. Set an appointment and keep calm. Learn about the different types of breast lumps.
