Daily Purpose

"I begin my day by asking to be of service. I watch with expectancy for today’s special assignment. I accept the detours that bring unexpected meetings and situations with others. Whatever presents itself I know I will learn something of value and see where I am needed. I watch with expectancy for today’s special purpose."

Greetings from the Editor:

Thank You Helpful People

I love it when someone unexpectedly does a nice deed for me. Jim O’Connor, whom I do not know in person, wrote a great review of my book, Empowering Teens to Build Self-Esteem. Read his review here and check out his educational blog as it all relates to self-esteem. Then I included in this newsletter an article Dan Smith wrote relating to another of my books, Enlightening Cinderella. Following I have included both reviews. I am grateful for the help from both of you.

Many of you readers order books and send my articles and homepage to your friends to review. Both of these actions help me keep this website going. (For those new to reading my newsletter or past articles, notice at the bottom of each page you can send things to your friends’ email) I say, “Thank you!”

Enjoy Fortunate Blessings,

Suzanne

Self-Growth

Facing the World

by Jim O'Connor

It seems to me that every kid has something going for him or her.  Maybe not good looks, and maybe not brains, but some quality that eventually gets them somewhere in life.  It might be an interest in books, a hobby, music, a sport, art, fashion, mechanics, computers, or any number of things.  They pursue it, or a parent or teacher or a friend encourages them, and it leads to a career. Or they just fall into a profession.

HOW TO GET BEYOND THE
PRINCE CHARMING FANTASY

by Dan Smith

Is the man who swept you off your feet now stepping on your toes? Does the handsome Prince Charming who rescued you and rocked your world – your one and only ‘soulmate’ – now seem but a distant memory? After the “honeymoon” stage in any relationship, when the wonder has waned and reality sets in, both partners feel the thump of crashing back to earth; the realization that the magic of first experience can not last indefinitely...

What’s Your New Story

by Gary Bate

Whenever I grab a Latte in a coffee shop, I observe young and old engaging in their emotional stories, normally about what he or she said or done. Are the TV soaps depicting real life or are our youngsters now mimicking the actors in the soaps? I guess it doesn’t matter who’s playing who because it’s all a product of mind control.

You meet a friend for coffee and you give them your story and they give you their story. Who is speaking? Your emotions! What’s the point? It’s not the truth! It’s just a story you’ve concocted to make you feel better and often to get the other person to feel sorry for you or take pity on you. And how great it feels when they get involved in your story and offer their perspective – now you can expand it even further!

Personal Growth

SPIRITUAL COUNCELING

By Judy Finch

What is Spiritual Counseling? It uses helps one understand the story one created before entering this life. That story unfolds as the Soul attracts people, places, things, times, and events that help act out this story. This is also called pre-destiny. We fulfill the “destiny” of our story, unless we awaken to the greater power of what we are – Divine Beings. In this case we can choose to own the play we wrote completely, call it the past, and start Re-creating life the way we now choose it to be using our free will choice.

We cannot change what we do not recognize, therefore, spiritual counseling helps one understand what one created to explore this lifetime. Believe it or not it is possible to discover the language of the soul.

What’s the Root Cause of Money Issues?

By Jeff Bauer

There is a story about a man named Jeff who asked me for help with some major money issues. He told me he tried all sorts of things to make more money:

• Affirmations
• Visualizing
• Courses on the Law Of Attraction (he told me he spent hundreds of dollars just on LOA materials)
• Subliminals

As I began working with him, I remembered back to when I had the same kind of challenges and what I learned. And how much I struggled with trying to get ahead (or in many cases just to keep up)...
