2. WISDOM QUOTES
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
"Trusting your intuition means tuning in as deeply as you can to the energy you feel, following that energy moment to moment, trusting that it will lead you where you want to go and bring you everything you desire. It means being yourself, being real and authentic in your communications, being willing to try new things because they feel right, doing what turns you on." -- Shakti Gawain
"What you are afraid to do is a clear indicator of the next thing you need to do."-- Unknown
"Challenges come so we can grow and be prepared for things we are not equipped to handle now. When we face our challenges with faith, prepared to learn, willing to make changes, and if necessary, to let go, we are demanding our power be turned on." -- Iyanla Vanzant
"When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for it is just the place and time that the tide will turn." -- Harriet Beecher Stowe

3. MOVING FORWARD FAITHFULLY
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
I've had many conversations with clients lately who describe themselves as "stuck." "Nothing is happening" and "I don't know what I want," are frequent complaints. It's been my observation that quite often the words and phrases above really translate to, "I'm scared. I'm afraid I'll make a mistake and things will be worse than they are now. I'll just decide to stay where I am until I'm forced to do something different."
What should you do when your life feels like it's on hold?
BEGIN TO GATHER INFORMATION
You may be putting the proverbial "cart before the horse." Before you make any decision you need to have information. Think about a goal wish to achieve. Perhaps it's a move, a new job, a skill you'd like to learn. Tony Robbins once observed, "You see, in life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know. Knowing is not enough! You must take action." What are three things you could do this month that would give you information about your interest? Perhaps you could take a class, read a book, talk to someone who has a similar goal. It doesn't have to be a huge risk. When you commit to action, your intuition can begin to guide you. It puts options, possibility and hope in your path.
PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU TELL YOURSELF
Writer Serge Kahili King notes that, "All thoughts, words, images, prayers, blessings, and deeds are listened to by All That Is." What goes on in your mind? If the bulk of your thoughts are negative, it's very difficult for your intuition to get through to offer help. Begin to ask, "Is there another way of looking at this situation that will make me feel better?" Or think of someone you admire and ask, "What would ____ do?" When you can begin to focus on the positive side of things, the Universe can easily present you with opportunities that will lead you to your hopes and dreams.
HAVE COURAGE
Have you ever talked yourself out of something because you felt scared? You may be surprised to know that nearly everyone feels anxious before they try something new. Think back on your own life. How did you feel before you took your current job or before you moved into your present home? You probably felt uncomfortable for awhile until, over time, the new became familiar. Whenever you make a change in your life, however large or small, you're out of your comfort zone for awhile. Your intuition will always nudge you to try new things. That's how you grow spiritually. It's also how you gain self-confidence and self-esteem. What is one small thing you can try this month that has you a little scared? Perhaps it is asking someone you admire out to lunch or speaking up in a meeting to share a comment or ask a question. Be daring. Have courage. Be willing to move just outside your comfort zone. You'll be surprised at the world of possibilities that open up to you as you begin to take risks.
KNOW THAT YOU LIVE IN A LOVING UNIVERSE
I see many clients when they are struggling, in massive indecision, or have just lost sight of their dreams. I've found that there is an assumption from many people on a spiritual path that if you're doing it "right" you will feel wonderful all the time. You'll be in perfect health, have a relationship with your soul mate that's heaven sent (and you never argue!). Money will flow from heaven at all times and your children will be perfect and well-adjusted. Well dream on . . . It ain't necessarily so. There is wise guidance available to you at all times, supporting you, loving you and encouraging your growth. We are all here to learn love, compassion, forgiveness and faith. Sometimes this means that you face difficulties and challenges. As you face these and overcome them, you become strong in the weak or broken places. Know that you live in a loving Universe.

6. BOOK REVIEW - "POWERHUNCH!" by Marcia Emery
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
Acting on intuition means heeding one's premonitions, paying attention to an inner voice, and responding to what seem like creative bolts from the blue. When people feel uncertain -- in their jobs or their relationships -- it's often because they're not seeing the range of options that intuition can provide. Marcia Emery takes readers through a personal training course, helping them to develop their intuitive muscle and teaching them how to incorporate hunches into daily life.
You can purchase the book at Amazon.com. Here's the link:
