1. WELCOME
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
Dear Friends -
We often hear the term "mother's intuition." Yesterday my twenty-two year old stepson, Cliff, saw how it saved a child's life. Cliff works part time as a lifeguard at a local fitness club. He was one of eight staff on duty last night during a busy shift at the pool.
A swimming class for toddlers had just begun when he heard a commotion erupt in the direction of the kids. He looked over to see a frantic mom pulling her three-year-old daughter from the arms of the swim instructor and running straight towards him. She pushed her child at Cliff who quickly realized the little girl was having a grand mal seizure. He yelled to a fellow lifeguard to call 911 and to another to get the AED (Automated External Defibrillator). Meanwhile, he lay the child on a paddleboard and cradled her with a towel to prevent her from hurting further herself during the seizures. Within seconds she stopped breathing, turned blue and lost consciousness.
What the mom did not know consciously, but clearly knew through her intuition, was that Cliff was the only person at the whole facility who was a certified Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). She had made a beeline to the right person. He was the youngest person in a group of adults who might have seemed to be an obvious choice to help her child. However she chose the only person there who had the skills to keep her child alive during those precious minutes before the ambulance arrived.
The role of intuition doesn't end there, however. After the young girl was taken to the hospital and Cliff had a chance to process the whole event, he remembered he'd had a dream that morning. In the dream he had saved the life of someone having a seizure. Cliff reported that he felt the dream had prepared him to be completely present and equipped for the emergency that presented itself at the pool. He used all the skills he was taught and the child survived.
A proud step-mom,
Lynn Robinson

"God lives in your heart and speaks to you through your intuition, visions, and dreams." -- Alan Cohen
"The key to failure is to try and please everybody." -- Anonymous
"You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand." -- Woodrow Wilson
"Sometimes in life, we just need someone who believes that we can. And more importantly, we must have the courage to believe we can. Yes, we sometimes get knocked down by circumstances, people leave and the thing that we want does not appear to want us. But it is in those times when all hope is gone that our understanding must raise its beautiful head. We can make it. It may not be easy, fast or logical but in the blink of an eye or a snap of our fingers, things can turn around." -- Dawnelle Hurd
We can't become what we need to be by remaining what we are.
-- Oprah Winfrey

5. HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN IT'S YOUR INTUITION ON THE LINE?!
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
First of all, what is intuition? Here are some of the more common answers. Intuition is:
* A tool for quick and ready insight.
* A natural mental faculty.
* A sixth sense we all possess.
* A gut feeling.
* A key element in the creative process.
* A warning experienced as a tingle up the spine.
* A component in problem solving and decision making.
* A deep inner knowing.
* A form of guidance and wisdom from God.
Intuition comes in many forms. It communicates in different ways to each of us. Following are some of the ways intuition makes itself known.
INNER VOICE - Many people report a "still, quiet, inner voice." Your intuition will always communicate with you in a compassionate, loving manner that is perceptibly different from your normal inner chatter.
DREAMS - You can receive a wealth of guidance when you learn to ask for intuitive insight from your dreams.
EMOTIONS - Intuitive information often comes through your feelings or emotions. You may simply "feel right" about a certain course of action. Or you might experience a sense of distrust about an individual or situation.
PHYSICAL SENSATIONS - The Japanese call intuition "stomach art." We call such sensations a "gut feeling." You might find that your body feels heavy if a decision you've made is wrong. Your body may feel light or experience "chills" if it is the correct path for you.
INSTANT KNOWING - You may receive a sudden flash of understanding. This is sometimes called the "Eureka" effect.
SYMBOLS - Intuition often comes to us in symbolic images. It is often said that, "A picture is worth a thousand words." You might receive a symbolic impression of a rocky road if you choose "Path A." If you choose the alternative "Path B," you may see a clear, well-paved path in your mind's eye.
COINCIDENCES AND SYNCHRONICITY - It's been said that coincidences are God's way of remaining anonymous. When you experience frequent synchronicity you'll know your intuition has led you on the right path.
The question I'm most frequently asked is -- "How do I know it's my intuition and not fear or wishful thinking?" This is such a tough question to answer because it's really about knowing yourself. Most of us feel fear when we try anything new because it takes us out of our comfort zone. Conversely, most of us have an ideal life we'd like to experience and our intuition can help guide us there. But how do we know it's not just "Pollyanna thinking?" Here are some guidelines to help you in trusting your intuition:
* If the message contains thoughts of hope, love, encouragement, wisdom, strength and comfort, it's your intuition speaking.
* You may feel a sense of peace come over you as you contemplate a right course of action. You may still feel nervous about actually doing this thing but you will feel right about it nonetheless.
* You feel consistently passionate and excited about something over a period of time. This is usually a nudge from your intuition to go for it.
* You've followed your guidance and taken some small steps towards your goal and you find that opportunities begin to open up to you. You're on the right path!
* You're drawn to a book or overhear a conversation and the words seem as though they were directly spoken to you in answer to your request for guidance.
* You begin to feel grateful or have an attitude of appreciation for your life even though you may be going through a difficult time. This is your intuition speaking.
* Insight that comes quickly into your mind after a prayer or request for guidance is usually the right path to follow.
Intuition is a rich resource for acquiring knowledge about yourself and the world around you. It can provide profound guidance that allows you to make the best choices for yourself. When you listen to intuition and follow its wisdom you will be led to a life that is abundant, successful and full of limitless possibilities. I believe that intuition is a connection to your soul, a vehicle for God (or the Universe if you prefer) to communicate with you. When you ask your intuition for help or insight, you are tapping into your Spirit and seeking its wise guidance.

6. BOOK REVIEW - The Unmistakable Touch of Grace
by Cheryl Richardson
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
My friend, Cheryl Richardson has written a wonderful new book. It's full of wisdom, inspiration and a generous spirit. Here's what the publisher has to say:
"Every event we experience and every person we meet has intentionally been put in our path to help us lead more conscious and fulfilled lives," says Cheryl Richardson, the New York Times bestselling author of "Take Time for Your Life," "Life Makeovers," and "Stand Up for Your Life." In her new book - her most personal work to date - she'll show you that, once you learn to view your life from this perspective, the person who smiles at you while you're walking down the street is no longer a stranger, the phone call from an old friend who crossed your mind the day before is no longer a surprise, and the failed relationship that left you brokenhearted is no longer a source of bitterness and pain. Instead, these experiences - examples of what Richardson calls "the unmistakable touch of grace" - are seen as blessings in disguise, gifts that make you stronger, more conscious, and, ultimately, more alive."
