I just returned from a wonderful trip to Kansas City, Missouri, where I gave a talk at Cornerstone Foundation at Unity Temple. What a friendly city! Thanks to all of you who came to my "Divine Intuition" talk. It was great to meet so many of you.
Are you trying to come up with a creative holiday present for the spiritual seekers on your list? Here are two suggestions:
1) An autographed copy of "Divine Intuition: Your Guide to Creating a Life You Love."
Purchase the book at your local bookstore or on-line at:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0789467682/lynnrobinsoatint/104-8390396-3085569.
Send me a stamped, self-addressed envelope by December 15, 2001, and I'll send you an autographed label to place inside your book. Be sure to include the name of the person you are giving the book to. Please do not send the book to me.
2) "The Intuitive Life Series" includes guided imagery audiotapes and a booklet to help create a life you love. They're available in a beautifully illustrated, full-color binder that includes four tapes plus the booklet, "Prosperity! The Intuitive Path to Creating Abundance."

May you continue to be Divinely guided.
Intuitively yours,

2. WISDOM QUOTES
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
"If adversity moves us to rediscover ourselves and the God within us, it becomes an important ally. Pain and challenge are the Universe's way of getting our attention so we can shift direction from loss to success." -- Alan Cohen
"When I enter into a deep meditation I am abundantly aware of a magnetic-like force, which pulls me in the direction of God. The revelations that I experience in those moments of God-realization represent a renewal of my mind. I reconnect to a kind of energy that propels me in the direction of a solution to anything that might be troublesome." -- Wayne Dyer
"The point is to get off autopilot and pay attention. Listen! Stay alert for that little push, watch for signs, tune in to hunches. If it feels good, it's GUIDANCE." -- Lynn Grabhorn
"Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself, and yourself alone, one question... does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't, it is of no use." -- Carlos Castaneda

3. MAKING YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE IN 2002
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO CREATE THIS YEAR?
Being clear about what you want is often the first step in being able to create it. What work do you want to do? What changes would you like to make in your social life? What would an ideal spiritual life look like? How much money do you want to earn? What kind of activities do you want to be involved in? Is there anything that drains you? What could you let go of in order to create more balance and energy?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING WHEN TIME FLIES BY?
If you're unable to easily answer the first question, see if question #2 brings an immediate response. In order to create a life you love, it's important to simply begin where you are. Perhaps you yearn for more time to lounge around and read a good book, or the thought of taking time to tend your garden makes your spirit soar. Giving yourself permission to do the small day-to-day things will result in more joy in your life. Do more of this and the abundant and expansive life you yearn for will begin to unfold.
WHEN YOU'RE IN A RUT
You know that your life needs to change. Perhaps you're in a rut, bored, or just have a desperate feeling to do something new and you're willing to try anything! That's a clue from your intuition that a change is needed. The truth is we need challenge to thrive. How do you begin to figure out where to start when you don't know where you're going? One theory is that you already know what you want and need but you probably have a bad case of what I call the "yesbuts."
THE CHALLENGE OF THE "YESBUTS"
Here are a few examples of "yesbuts" I've heard in the past: "I love to learn about healing. I'm always taking classes and reading books about this. It fascinates me. But, I couldn't make a living at this." Or "If I could go shopping every day I would be in heaven. I love fashion and color and love to advise my friends on their outfits. But, I've decided to go to business school because I can't shop and make money!"
GUIDANCE FROM YOUR INTUITION
Both of these people had clear access to their dreams and passions and initially chose to ignore those inner messages for what appeared to be something more practical. While it may seem like an odd intuitive direction to love shopping as part of your mission in life, I'll tell you the end of the story. This client, I'll call her Kay, ended up choosing to be an image consultant. In addition to working with executives, helping them to choose clothes and styles that fit their professional images, she also works with women who want to get off welfare. Kay gives seminars in self-confidence, interview skills, and dressing for success. Kay is someone who overcame her "yesbuts," trusted her intuition through the excitement that she felt, and created a wonderful business by serving others and making money at something she loved.
FOCUS ON WHAT'S WORKING
Our culture has been very invested in focusing on "what's wrong." For instance, when was the last time you heard of massive research funding for studying healthy, happy people? When was the last time you went to a therapist who asked "What makes you happy?" Have you ever gone to a doctor who congratulated you on all the things that were working well in your body? There's power in the attitude of gratitude and positive focus. It's a potent tool for directing your life.
SHIFT YOUR THOUGHTS
If you buy the theory that what you focus on with your thoughts and beliefs is intensified in your life, why not put all your attention on what makes you happy, challenged and healthy? One of the techniques that works for me when I'm feeling upset is simply to ask myself, "Is there another way to think about this issue/concern/worry?" I catch myself in the early stages of worry and negative thinking and begin to focus on what I want instead of what I don't want.
IT'S NORMAL TO FEEL NERVOUS WHEN YOU TAKE A RISK
Do you know that it's perfectly normal to feel resistance or anxiety when you attempt something new? I always feel it. I used to think it meant I shouldn't do the thing I was contemplating. I have a tendency to think too far into the future and become easily overwhelmed about how to get from here to there. I've come to understand that if something I desire is worth doing, I'll feel some nervousness. When you understand it's common to feel this way, you'll find an easier way to work through it and achieve success.
THE ROAD NOT TAKEN
I have found that many of us just take the path of least resistance. We're out of work, a job is offered, we might as well take it. The cliche that, "If you don't know where you're going you'll probably end up there" holds true in so many situations. We fail to check in with our inner guidance and ask, "Is this a good decision?" How will you know if you don't ask. And if you do ask, how will you know the answer?? (Aren't you glad you asked?!)
TAKE SMALL STEPS
The trick to breaking this habit of thought that afflicts many of us is two fold: 1) just begin and 2) start small. Take a first step to what you feel excited about and then take another one and another one. Remain centered in the present. That's your point of power. Trust your inner direction from your intuition. When you follow your passion, excitement, and inner knowing, you'll discover what makes you happy and fulfilled. When you know what you want, there's a clear path to achieve it. Your guidance will show you the way.
