Greetings from the Editor:

How Does It Get Better Than This?

I have taken many self-discovery workshops during my lifetime. Looking back one lesson stands out from all of the rest. That is to ask myself often, “How does it get better than this?”

Now you might think it important to say this mainly when desiring things to improve in your life. Yes, this is true, and it does move you in a positive direction, opening you to new interpretations of unwanted experiences and allowing new possibilities to show up. I have found myself in constant amazement however, by saying this when life is wonderful as well. I am continually amazed at the good that shows up in my life. It is better that I can imagine, many times. I live in continual wonder and gratitude as my life expands. Experiment with your own life. Ask yourself at least once a day, “How does it get better than this?”

Fortunate Blessings,

Suzanne

 By Gale Berkowitz

A landmark UCLA study suggests friendships between women are special.  They shape who we are and who we are yet to be.  They soothe our tumultuous inner world, fill the emotional gaps in our marriage, and help us remember who we really are. By the way, they may do even more.

Scientists now suspect that hanging out with our friends can actually counteract the kind of stomach-quivering stress most of us experience on a daily basis...

The Sacred Keys to Freedom

By Joe Gregory

 Most people when asked what they want in life respond in terms of freedom, whether that be in the form of more time, money, purpose or peace of mind. People desire to live life on their own terms. We all also want to be free from worry, fear and doubt. This country was founded on the basis of freedom but most people feel constricted in their life by their fear and doubts, their circumstances and conditions.

 So how can one go about freeing themselves so they can live the life they deserve? All you have to do is remember the Truth. And you can do this from the comfort of your couch! Here are the six sacred keys to freedom...
