Please Accept My Apology

I know this is a strange way to start off a newsletter, but I mean it. I am sorry that I've let you down.

Our commitment is to bring you newsletters that actually bring you news. We strive to bring interesting articles on health, EMF, and hopefully some inspiration and hope as well.

So why am I apologizing? I haven't followed up on this commitment recently. I was so excited about our new Room Shield and all the ways it could help protect your family, I rushed to send you this information...and basically just sent you a long advertisement.
Then I did the same for Valentine's Day. I am sorry, it's not my intent to just throw ads at you. I moved just to the Washington DC area before Christmas and truthfully it's taken a while to get things organized and situated, and somehow my conversational, communication juices just weren't flowing.

We're finally starting to feel settled and I'm getting back in the grove.

I feel like March is almost like the start of a new year. Spring brings new growth and hope of warmth and changes.

March comes in like a Lion and out like a Lamb.  We move from cold to warm, from barren trees to full green branches.
This is the time that we want to be blooming the new parts of ourselves.

What is growing within you that you want to bloom? Sounding your intention can reinforce your new growth, your new blooms.

My intention is to communicate with you, not just shout advertisements. You might find this hard to believe, but we're really not all about the sale. We're honestly here to help on many levels, and I'm renewing my commitment to do just that.

Have a Magical Spring
Carolyn

The Top 10 Steps to a Successful Life

By Lynn A. Robinson

1. Make your intuition your ally.

How does your intuition speak to you? Do you receive information in words, feelings, a body sensation? Do you just know? Ask your intuition questions and pay attention to the answers and act on the information you receive.

2. What are you enthusiastic about?

The root of the word enthusiasm is entheos. It literally means "God Within." Just think, when you feel enthusiastic about your dreams it means that God is speaking through you and saying "yes" to your goals! The feeling of enthusiasm is one of the ways your intuition speaks to you. What makes you excited, happy, delighted? What do you look forward to each day? Do more of it!

3. Be clear about your goals.

We are often quite clear about what we don't want. Spend time thinking about what you do want. What does your ideal life look like? Draw pictures or cut out scenes from magazines that illustrate the life you want to create. Write in your journal, envision. Spend time each day imagining your ideal life. Envision the details of that life. Imagine you are living it now. What are you wearing? What are you feeling? Who are the people around you? The power is within your mind and heart to bring forth the new life you want.

4. Spend time in prayer and meditation.

Answers often come to life's questions through self-reflection. Prayer and meditation are two ways we have of slowing down enough to listen to the still, quiet voice of our Higher Self. Remember that the answers don't always pop into your mind fully formed as you meditate or pray. You may find them slowly evolving into your consciousness over several days or weeks as you ask for insight.

5. Create positive self talk.

Pay attention to what you tell yourself about yourself and your life. If the general tone is hopeful and positive you feel better and are more optimistic. William James said, "The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives." It's easier to create a life you love when you give yourself affirmative message.

6. Practice an attitude of gratitude.

Research has shown that the happiest people are the ones who have gratitude for all that they have despite their circumstances. You don't have to postpone happiness until you have achieved all your goals. Joy is an inside job. In the Talmud it says, "In the world to come each of us will be called to account for all the good things God put on this earth which we refused to enjoy." Learn to appreciate the unfolding process of your life, not just the realization of your dreams.

7. Take action.

People often get stuck because they can't figure out how to get from Point A to Point Z. What is one thing you could do that would be a next step? Take a class, talk to a friend, read a book on a topic of interest, learn a new skill. Take action on what feels exciting to you.

8. Look for coincidences and synchronicities.

It has been said that coincidences are God's way of remaining anonymous. We often have serendipity occurring in our lives as a way to show us we are on the right path. As you trust your intuitive knowing you'll find these synchronicities occurring more often.

9. Know that there will be ebbs and flows.

We often reach success through a series of ups and downs. When you are in a "down" place and feeling stuck, know that it won't last forever. Find some ways to enjoy your life despite the lull and continue to focus on what you want.

10. Trust in divine order.

Maybe you're beginning to feel as Mother Theresa once did when she said, "I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much." The Universe has a perfect plan for your growth and unfolding as a human being. As you learn to be guided by your intuition you're beginning to act on this wisdom from the Universe.

Note:

Just as I was putting together the February 26th Newsletter I got this great email from www.intuitionzone.com.

I'd just finished writing that March is a new beginning and a time to set your intention. This article just seems to fit that perfectly. Enjoy

Reaching Out

I know it may be difficult to think of Spring at the moment. Especially if you're in the middle of a nasty snow storm. But it's coming...really.
Even if you're in the middle of winter, what can you do to improve your life? Do you need to just stop and be grateful for what you have? Is your heart telling you that it's time for a change? Follow your bliss, find more time for things that you're enthusiastic about. Find some people to share your interests.

I mentioned that I just moved to the Washington DC area in December. I knew no one. I realized I needed to find some people I could share my interests with. I found www.meetup.com. There are over 350 different groups within a 25 mile radius of our house - groups on meditation, food, wine, going clubbing, business, art...just about everything you can imagine, and some I never could have thought of. If you're looking for new friends, interesting things to do or business networking, check out MeetUp. You can even start up your own group for only about $15 a month.

Just for fun, check out the meetup my husband and I have scheduled for tomorrow. I find this  amazing, we have some really interesting people coming to our Open House/Jewelry Show. A couple people I've met at other groups, others are complete strangers who share our interests. Some people are coming to talk about jewelry making and art, some to shop, and others are coming for some munchies, wine and friendship. Should be an awesome day.

My point is, don't sit around and bemoan the fact that "there aren't any like minded people". There are, you just need to reach out and find them, make that connection today.

I hope I've inspired you.

Sincerely,

Carolyn

PS Virginia will be back commenting and writing to you on our next newsletter. Sorry, I kind of took this one over, but I really needed to reconnect and let you know that things will be back to normal...well as normal as anything ever is.
