Dear Friends -
I just returned from teaching a wonderful Boston area workshop on developing intuition. It felt more like a party with lots of laughter, community and of course, discussion of how we can learn to use our fabulous sense of intuition! Thanks to everyone who attended. You made it a great day.
I have some good news to share. I've just been asked to be a contributor and advice columnist for a terrific website called http://www.ThirdAge.com. It's the leading Web destination for baby boomers. ThirdAge.com provides unique resources, interactive guides, assessments and articles that assist ThirdAgers in enriching their lives and managing life transitions.
To kick off our new relationship, we're giving away a weekend spa getaway and prosperity seminar. See #2 below for all the details.

3. WISDOM QUOTES
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
"Usually we think that brave people have no fear. The truth is they are intimate with fear. When I was first married, my husband said I was one of the bravest people he knew. When I asked him why, he said because I was a complete coward but went ahead and did things anyhow." -- Pema Chodren
"Try saying the phrase, 'Let me be open to the possibilities.' Just be open - there is no commitment to action.. Saying this phrase to yourself a few times a day opens our heart to intuitive feelings." -- Nancy Rosanoff
"A setback can lead us to a better place - if we'll just let it." -- Anne Wilson Schaef
"I feel that if one follows what I call one's bliss - the thing that really gets you deep in the gut and that you feel is your life - doors open up." - Joseph Campbell

5. MAKE SUCCESSFUL DECISIONS USING YOUR INTUITION!
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
Part of learning to trust your intuition is to remember to ask, "Does this decision make me happy?" or "Do I feel energized by this decision?" There are many ways to ask the question and experience the answer but here's the truth: your intuition will provide you with information to make positive choices. Would it make sense for you to be sent to earth with a magnificent inner guidance system that made you feel awful? Not likely!
The root of the word enthusiasm is entheos. It literally means "God Within." When you trust your Divine intuition you begin to feel better. You might even feel enthusiastic! We often ask the wrong questions. "Why did this happen to me?" "Why can't I make more money?" Your intuition works best when you begin to put your focus on what you want, where you're headed and what your goals are. The question to ask is "What makes me feel lighter, more energized, happier?"
When I give people intuitive readings, I see their choices and decisions as a form of energy. When you constantly put your focus and attention on what you don't want or on what makes you unhappy, your energy stays stuck. You keep attracting the same old thing -- relationships that don't work, lack of money, the wrong jobs -- the same old issues time and time again.
It takes commitment to stay focused on what you really want. Here's the way I see it work in sessions with my clients. When they can get themselves thinking consistently about the new goal or objective through visualizing, affirming, and feeling excited about their intent, they begin to put out a new energy. It's as if they are putting forth a new signal to the Universe that says, "Here's what I want. Here's what I'm focused on right now."
Your inner guidance is always directing you to what makes you happy, healthy and full of life. It will help you stay well or assist you in getting well if you're sick. It's the way your intuition helps to keep you on track. When you consistently feel bad, it's as if the intuitive message is, "Warning. You need to pay attention to what you're thinking and where you're headed." When you're feeling up, purposeful and full of joy, your intuition sends a different message. It says, " Stay on this path and continue. Good things are flowing your way."
Each and every one of you was born with an "Intuition Code." It's the wise part of you that knows your purpose in life and provides a constant outflow of information to assist you with the choices to live your purpose. Intuition doesn't require strain and effort. It is more a matter of relaxed and open receptivity. It's also not necessary to spend long hours deep in meditation to receive wise counsel. Just ask, then "listen" for the answer.

6. BOOK REVIEW:
BLINK: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking
By Malcolm Gladwell
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
From the publisher:
"How do we make decisions--good and bad--and why are some people so much better at it than others? That's the question Malcolm Gladwell asks and answers in the follow-up to his huge bestseller, "The Tipping Point." Utilizing case studies as diverse as speed dating, pop music, and the shooting of Amadou Diallo, Gladwell reveals that what we think of as decisions made in the blink of an eye are much more complicated than assumed. Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience and psychology, he shows how the difference between good decision-making and bad has nothing to do with how much information we can process quickly, but on the few particular details on which we focus. Gladwell reveals how we can become better decision makers--in our homes, our offices, and in everyday life. The result is a book that is surprising and transforming. Never again will you think about thinking the same way."

I have a wonderful resource for all of you who want to fuel your Inner God or Goddess! It's Goddess Granola. My colleague, Andrea Lyons, has shared her creation with me and it's absolutely heavenly! Read her inspiring story of the creation of Goddess Granola at her Web site. It's intuition in action! She also gives 10% of her net profits to the "Good Goddess Fund." I'll bet you find her granola as nourishing to body and soul as I did.
