~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~* 1. Welcome ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~* Dear Friends – Last week I received an advance copy of my new book LISTEN: Trusting Your Inner Voice in Times of Crisis. It's so amazing to actually hold it in my hands. I spent a long time writing and editing it and finally… Ta Da! There it is! It will arrive in bookstores in mid-December. In the meantime you can view it and pre-order it on Amazon.com Be sure to hold onto your receipt, though! We'll be offering some terrific bonus gifts in January for all of you who buy the book. To celebrate, I'm offering a 20% discount on all intuition counseling sessions through the end of December. Email or call me at 1-800-925-4002 to book an appointment. In the next few weeks 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. Several people have written to me recently asking about how to manage fear. "My intuition is guiding me to make a change in my career, but I feel terrified. How do I deal with the fear?" We're all confronted with this sooner or later. Whether it's time to end a relationship, make a geographic move, leave a job, or any of a myriad of other life issues, it feels scary. We want to go back to our comfort zone! So how DO you deal with it? You’ll find out in #5 below. In gratitude, Lynn 00-1-617-964-0075 (International calls) 800-925-4002 (U.S. and Canada calls) Lynn@LynnRobinson.com ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~* 2. Wisdom Quotes ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~* "The happiest people I know are the ones who have learned how to hold everything loosely and have given the worrisome, stress-filled, fearful details of their lives into God's keeping." — Charles R. Swindoll "When you feel enthusiasm to do something, it means you've lined up the Energy, and you are being inspired to take action from that point of alignment. When you don't feel like doing it, don't push yourself, because your effort is not worth it. But, when you line up the Energy, the feeling of procrastination goes away." — Abraham "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." — Melody Beattie ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~* 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.

We can only transform it into a companion that accompanies us on all our exciting adventures. Take a risk a day - one small or bold stroke that will make you feel great once you have done it." --Susan Jeffers Fear is the biggest hurdle that stops most people from achieving their dreams. Do you know that we all experience it? It's what happens when you move out of the comfort zone of the life you've known and into the life on the border of your hopes, dreams and ambitions. Danaan Perry has written a beautiful essay where he likens life to a series of trapeze bars. He says that "Most of the time, I spend my life hanging on for dear life to my trapeze-bar-of-the-moment." When he’s holding onto his current bar he feels in control. Yet, inevitably, life intervenes and requires that he grab his next trapeze bar. "It is my next step, my growth, my aliveness coming to get me. In my heart-of-hearts I know that for me to grow, I must release my grip on this present, well-known bar to move to the new one." Fear is the biggest hurdle that stops most of us from achieving our dreams. Many of us feel the fear and say, "I’m not going one step further." Or "Give me a guarantee of success and then I'll move forward." Or even, "I feel scared. This must be my intuition telling me that this direction is wrong." Many of us choose to stay stuck or simply treading water. It feels safe where we are. We convince ourselves that what we have isn’t so bad and we talk ourselves out of our dreams. Do you approach your life with one foot on the brake (your fear) and one foot on the accelerator (your dream)? With that combination you tend to neutralize any forward movement. If you want to move forward in your life, you'll have to release your brake. Courage is what it takes to face your fears. When you use your connection with your inner guidance it gives you courage. As you take action on your dreams you may feel as if you're on the edge of a cliff. You're about to take a leap of faith and no one is there to catch you. But you're not alone. The inspiration of your inner guidance is there to catch you and create a way for you to sail safely to your dreams. The voice of God exists in each of us. We often don't ask for help. We haven't built a relationship with our inner guidance. Too bad, because it can be like your best friend whispering encouragement and direction whenever you need it. When you take a step in a new direction, you're bound to feel uncomfortable. It's scary. You're likely to feel anxious. You're in a situation where you've never been before. Newness is a mixed bag. It can make you feel wildly excited, pumped up and open to experiences and ideas you might never have considered. But it can also make you fearful. Everything suddenly feels unfamiliar. You're in strange territory without a map to get you to your next destination. Heck! Sometimes you may not even know what that next destination is. It may help to know that almost everyone feels afraid and anxious when trying new things. It's okay to be afraid; it's natural. The most important thing is to not let your fear be a big "stop sign" in your life. If fear is your constant companion and stops you from achieving your goals you may need to shift your focus and ask for your Higher Power to help you with this. Here's a prayer to try. As always, feel free to alter the words to fit what you need. Dear God: "I know that I am filled with fear and anxiety right now. I know there are dreams I have that I want to achieve. My fear is standing in my way. I know that I need help moving beyond this fear. I believe in your power to heal. Please help me to allow your guidance in so I can receive strength and energy to reach for my dreams. I allow your guidance to direct my life through my intuition. With this power I can move forward toward my dreams." Anyone who has a dream knows fear. Part of the requirement of making your dream come alive is to step beyond the borders of your fear. I have found that any dream worth following produces some fear and anxiety for me. The bigger my fear, the more exciting, and ultimately life enhancing, is my dream. Gerald Jampolsky, MD, wrote in his book, Teach Only , "There are only two emotions: love, our natural inheritance, and fear, an invention of our minds which is illusory. Each instant of the day we choose between these two, and our choice determines the kind of day we have and how we will perceive the world." Trust that the power that guides the Universe, guides your life. Ask for the power of the Universe to assist you to release your fears in order for you to achieve your dreams. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~* 6. Some of My Favorite Things ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~* My colleague, Michael Neill, is one of my favorite personal growth authors. He’s written Supercoach, Feel Happy Now and You Can Have What You Want, as well as the audio series Effortless Success. He's offering a wonderful new program called The Supercoach Academy from January to June 2010 in New York City. I'll be one of his coaches offering a program on developing intuition. We'd love to have you join us! Creativity and intuition seem to go hand-in-hand. When you're being creative your intuition kicks into high gear. When you're open to your intuition, creative new ideas abound! Gail McMeekin has designed (and created) some gorgeous Creativity Cards They'd make a great holiday present for those friends who want to develop their inner genius! I love the Dream Manifesto Wizard!" It's a software program I've installed on my computer that reminds me at preset times of my affirmations, goals and dreams. I know many of my newsletter subscribers are self-employed or thinking about it. It's tough to be heard and get your message out in a way that's fun and creative. I'm reading The Complete Idiot's Guide to Target Marketing by Susan Friedmann.
