~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~* 1. Welcome ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~* Dear Friends – My new book is set to debut in the bookstores at the end of December. I’m so excited about it! It’s called "LISTEN: Trusting Your Inner Voice in Times of Crisis." You can view it and pre-order it on Amazon.com In the next month I'll be letting you know about excerpts, bonuses and book trailers on YouTube. I know you'll love this book as much as I enjoyed writing it! It's filled with lots of inspiration from my twenty-plus years teaching about intuition as inner wisdom. Many of my wonderful newsletter subscribers and clients shared stories of how intuition helped them overcome difficult times in their lives. I've been noticing as I’ve been zooming from one task to the next that I was getting tired. I'm usually a pretty high-energy person so this was a bit surprising to me. I meditated and asked my intuition for guidance. I kept hearing "take time for rest." This wasn't what I wanted to hear! I wanted a recipe for creating more and doing more! However, as I heeded the wise intuitive advice, I realized that this WAS part of the ingredients I needed to manifest more easily and effortlessly. Read #5 below for more thoughts on the subject.

Wisdom Quotes ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~* Rather than surrender to feelings of negativity and despair, I consciously and creatively combat such feelings by moving in the direction of greater faith. — Julia Cameron Experience the apprehension and do it anyway! It’s the doing that brings you to a new level of inspiration, so don’t deny your fear…”I’m scared, but I’m also taking action.” — Wayne Dyer When you do not succeed, when no one seems to care for your service, or for your talents, there are two things to do: do your best and love much. — Christian D. Larsen Where your talents and the needs of the world cross lies your calling. — Aristotle We never know what strengths and revelations might be on the other side of our fears until we face them and feel them all the way through. True positive thinking is the mental stance of surrender, simply trusting the process. We learn to accept what is. — Jacquelyn Small. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~* 3.

I decided to write a 30-week e-course on the topic. I've always been fascinated by the fact that some people seem to create abundance and success in their lives and others seem to experience only failure and poverty. Is it fate? Are there a lucky few who are destined to have money, fame and fortune? I wrote this course because I believe each of us has been given all the resources we need to accomplish the mission we came here to fulfill. We learn to create abundance in our lives and in our world through the power of our thoughts and the connection of our Spirit. Many of us have not only forgotten our life purpose, we have also forgotten how to use the tools that forge the path to prosperity, success, love and health. In the "Dear God: Send Money" thirty-week course you'll find tools, exercises, inspirational quotes and techniques to help you create financial as well as spiritual abundance.

Do you often feel empty or dissatisfied? I recently met with a client I'll call Mary Ellen. She described feeling somewhat depressed and anxious a great deal of the time. She said, "I want something more in life, but I can't imagine what it is. It's as if part of me is missing." As she continued to talk it became clear to me that Mary Ellen was doing things for everyone in her life except herself. She took care of her niece after school, worked a full-time job as a bookkeeper, helped care for an ill family member and was a single mother for her nine year old son. I asked Mary Ellen if there was anything she did on a regular basis that was just for her. She looked at me blankly and said, "I don't have time." Does this sound like you? Here's a simple truth -- in order to create a life you love, you must first make room for it in your life. When your life is filled up with too many people, situations and things that drain you, there's no space for something wonderful and new. As I talked to Mary Ellen she casually mentioned that she liked to paint but hadn’t picked up a paintbrush in years. I pointed out to her that when she spoke about her artistic interests she lit up and became energized. "This is your intuition giving you a step you can take in order to bring some passion and excitement back into your life," I said. I suggested she might want to take an art class at a local adult education center. She agreed. For the rest of our session we discussed how to create some free time so she could take this class. By the end of the hour, we had decided she'd talk to both her sister and her ex-husband about sharing more childcare responsibilities. She sent me an e-mail a couple of months later telling me she had freed up two evenings a week and had enrolled in a painting class. What does creating space in your life have to do with intuition? You may be writing in your journal, meditating, affirming, visualizing -- and still not getting the results you want. Your intuition may be providing you with great ideas for change and working hard at bringing opportunities your way. But what does your intuition encounter when it’s done its job? "Go away. I'm too busy! I don't have time for change right now." Intuition Exercise: What Excites You? As I stated to Mary Ellen, one of the ways that intuition communicates with you is through what you feel excited about. That’s an important piece of input you should pay attention to because it’s providing you with information about a step you could take. 1) What did you feel excited about? You may want to think back to when you were a kid. Was there something you particularly enjoyed as a child that you haven't done in years? That may give you a clue about what to write about here. Write them in your journal. 2) What drains you? The next thing you need to do is to make time for it in your life. Here's a question to ask yourself when you're considering what to let go of – “Is there a person or situation that makes me tired and irritated just thinking about it?” That's another clue from your intuition. 3) What steps could you take to change the above situation? Identifying what drains you does not give you permission to immediately get divorced, quit your job or disown your family! You may need to set better boundaries with someone or have an honest conversation, to explore new job opportunities or to simply begin to confront your desire to please everyone in your life and begin to say "no" more frequently. 4) What are you willing to do to create space? Simply understanding you need space isn't enough. You'll need to create an action plan. What are three steps you could take to free up some time for yourself? Write them in your journal. 5) What steps are you willing to take to bring fun, excitement and passion back into your life? This does not need to be something huge. We're talking steps, not flying leaps of faith! You could make a lunch date with a friend, enroll in a class, take a walk in the woods, play with your kids, romp with your dog, dig in your garden. None of these will make a profound change in your life. But it's a beginning. It's saying to the Universe, "I deserve to take time for me. I am worthy of receiving wise intuitive guidance. I now have room in my life to cherish the message and act on its wisdom." When you do that consistently - Watch out life! Here you come! ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~* 6. Some of My Favorite Things ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~* Tired of hearing, seeing and reading only BAD news in the media? You need to check out Daryn Kagan's site. She vows to "show the world what's possible" with positive news stories and uplifting tales of common folks doing extraordinary things. It's a pleasure to watch her videos! Oprah has a wonderful site I just discovered. It's her Angel Network .

Daily Zen Beautiful meditation images, poetry and even Zen humor. The art is inspirational. Live in the now and sit awhile at the virtual altar at DailyZen.com. Calm yourself by gazing at the soothing images. You are greeted by the daily koan (Zen message) to help ease you into a meditative state of mind. Many of you are familiar with the Unity Church. But did you know they have a terrific new Web site? My favorite part is the audio prayers. They're very soothing and help you come back to your center again. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~* Subscription Information ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~* To unsubscribe, click here.
