As I prayed a prayer of thanksgiving, beside the 'real bed' inside a warm room, as the temperature fell below freezing outside...I opened my eyes and noticed this book sitting on the night table.
I discovered hope, faith, and meaning in every challenge in my life. I discovered that no matter what the challenge, there is hope, and no matter how difficult, there is something 'good' going to come out of it.

The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent: Living the Art of Allowing
Amazon Price: $10.17 (as of 12/22/2009)
I have spent a lot of time saying I wanted something and then on the other hand behaving as if I did not want it. This is confusing for a universe that is loving, careing, and very generous. But, we often keep things stagnant because we confuse things by thinking one way, saying something else, and then acting out in another way all together.
The guidance in this book will help you to balance all of these factors out, as it did for me, and soon you will find the universe is free to move all sorts of blessings your way.

Great Stuff on Amazon
A Course In Miracles
There is magic in this book. It has a way of transforming those hidden scars and liberating the spirit in such a way that you don't notice it at first. Others begin to say things like "...tell me, what have you been doing, you are glowing all the time these days..."
It is a Course in Miracles, and well worth the challenge (if you are like me and take awhile to process it all).

Charles L. Whitfield M.D.
I still remember the day I could say " I remember" ... sounds silly now. Before that time, I could only recall brief moments for each year of my life. Eventually, as I uncovered and discovered many things, I was able to remember everything and let it heal and move forward.
Moving forward...isn't really possible until we are given the tools to come to terms with the past. Forgiveness (of self mostly), needs to be planted like a seed, then tended, then celebrated as it grows into a mighty tree (an evergreen), that is when there are never again dark barren places that seem to reach beyond time and space and obstruct our view of a very beautiful world.

Catherine Ponder
Then the women got off the phone, looked out the window and saw some of her flowers were blooming. Next thought was of a dear friend who had been under the weather for some time. She went out in the yard and picked the flowers, then took them to her friend.
When she returned home, she started setting the table. The children who had been a bit anxious and out of control prior to this, began to settle down as they watched their mother setting the table. They then knew that they would soon be fed.
Just as the table was set, someone knocked on the door. They said "...I was accross town, and thought of you, then I remembered that I owed you some money and it was heavy on my heart to pay you right now."
I still cry when I think of this story...
The world is just that simple you know. Let go of the lies to make room for the truth. The truth is "...There is always more than enough of all things to use and to share."

Luanne Oakes, PH.D.
I knew that sound has a profound effect on people. Just think about how many times you have been able to see a change in how you feel by simply turning on your favorite song. How some music is better than other music at different times.
Dr. Oakes has discovered a way to create sound that heals every part of our being. It is difficult to put into words, but, when you listen to it (combined with the book's lessons), you will find yourself experiencing less stress (in otherwise stressful situations), and you will discover yourself being able to openly interact in just about any social situation with authenticity and the highest regard for all aspects of our existence. Pure Love...that is what we are and that is our greatest gift to ourselves and others, to just Be who we are without fear.
Sound Health, Sound Wealth

I entered my favorite bookstore with not particular book in mind, and went to a section that I usually do not go into. This book literally jumped off the shelf into my arms. It was exactly what I needed right at the right time! That seems to happen so much these days. Serendipity!
Energy Medicine is responsible for a new level of awareness for me. I have generally been able to disregard pain. Short version: I have managed chronic pain by ignoring it for over three decades. Now I am learning to reconnect with it, to heal it, and to improve my physical health as a result.
Awareness lends itself very well to this part of the journey. Having the tools to manage pain and heal the source of it from within, has been a joyful journey and an enlightening one.

Paula White
When I first discovered Paula it was on her show "Paula Today", and I was taken in by her energy, her sincerity, and also her vulnerability. It is my desire to be free from fear...Paula has no fear! So, as I get to know her better, I learn that she has overcome obstacles that are enormous! She has not only found ways to meet challenges, she has discovered how to be Victorious and how to make things happen.
I am still reading "Your All That", and I keep it by my bedside for early morning motivation and late night re-creation. Her books are the kind that while I am reading them, I keep wondering how in the world she can be so comprehensive about every single subject she writes about (and there are countless topics she adresses)... there are rarely writers of her expertise and wisdom at such a tender age.
She has obviously been blessed with much insight and profound blessings of decernment! Paula Today is our blessing as she shares about Paula of Yesterday we get to 'see' miracles at work in her life and we believe that we can see them in our own lives as well. She insists on it and You ARE ALL THAT!

Eckhart Tolle
Eckhart Tolle shares what next simply and vividly. We are here now and the power is awaiting our command.
The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment
Amazon Price: $9.97 (as of 12/22/2009)
List Price: $14.00
"Ekhart Tolle's message is simple: living in the now is the truest path to happiness and enlightenment. And while this message may not seem stunningly original or fresh, Tolle's clear writing, supportive voice, and enthusiasm make this an excellent manual for anyone who's ever wondered what exactly "living in the now" means. Foremost, Tolle is a world-class teacher, able to explain complicated concepts in concrete language. More importantly, within a chapter of reading this book, readers are already holding the world in a different container--more conscious of how thoughts and emotions get in the way of their ability to live in genuine peace and happiness."--Gail Hudson

A Passion for Writing
My Dad always used to ask "...are you writing a book?" I know he was joking about how I would ask questions until it made everyone around me tired. I had (and still do have) a thirst for knowledge. I want to know everything about people primarily. Not the kind of thing you read in People Magazine, I want to know about what makes people happy, what makes people enthusiastic, how to bring out the pure joy that lives within under the other stuff that is plain disception. I want to know how to show people the beauty that I see in them.
So, I will write...and I have started, thanks to Nanowrimo
(National Novel Writing Month - Every November)
but, first
... I wanted to read all about writing.

Does Luanne Oakes use the Solfeggio scale to create her healing sounds? Research indicates that specific soundwave frequencies can repair damaged DNA. I'm pleased to find another resource for healing sounds right here on your lens. :)
