Your Arms To Receiving….
by Patricia Crane
Did you know that there is enough money on this planet for everyone (yes,
everyone) to have a million dollars? So why is it that Bill Gates has
billions, others have a million, and others have only a small amount? The
answer is simple: consciousness. Each of us has played out the beliefs
from childhood about deservability and money to create whatever we have in
our lives right at this moment. If all the billions on the planet were
redistributed tomorrow and no one changed their consciousness about money,
it would all be back to the same people in the same amounts in about six
months. Are you willing to change your consciousness right now about
what you deserve to receive? CLICK

Mercury Retrograde: Your Survival
Guide to Astrology's Most Precarious Time of the Year!
by Chrissie Blaze
It's happening everywhere, to just about
everyone. For three weeks at a stretch, maybe five, communication breaks
down in a thousand weird ways. Wires get crossed, messages lost. The cell
phone dies in the middle of a call. A package never arrives. We sign
contracts for deals that go horribly wrong. We squabble with friends or
loved ones.
Most such moments are trivial in
themselves—but collectively they pack a punch. The phone call we miss
might have been a dream job offer. The package that never comes might
contain our kid's asthma medicine. A thoughtless word can fracture a
friendship.

Hippo Rage (A speech which
brought the house down in Quebec)
by David Leonhardt
Has anybody here ever been stuck in traffic
for a frustratingly long time? Put up your hand if you have. Oooh! Don’t
you just hate that? And some people don’t mind showing us how much
they hate it. We call it road rage.
Has anybody ever waited in a ticket lineup
or a checkout lineup for a frustratingly long time? Let me see those
hands.

Recommended Book |
The Wonder of Girls, Michael Gurian aims to bring us new insights into
the lives of our daughters in much the same way he attempted to open up
the lives of adolescent males in The Wonder of Boys. While many of
the chapters read like lessons in biology, plenty of parents will find
useful tidbits and reflections from this father of two.
Gurian emphatically
agrees with Deborah Sichel's (Women's Moods) idea of "A
woman's biology is the cornerstone of her mental health." He
elaborates on this theory throughout his discussion on the physical
changes in childhood and adolescence. This concept certainly holds some
validity, but there's a fine line from here to "biology is
destiny." Some readers may find Gurian crosses that line with his
claims of "brain pruning" and insistence about hormones:
"they don't just change a girl into a woman, they are, to a great
extent, the woman herself."
Others find his recommendations on hormonal
treatments to be a literal lifesaver, and the book is peppered with
positive anecdotes from his own life and families encountered in his
training sessions. Important issues like self-esteem, eating disorders,
and sexual experimentation are all addressed, along with the role of the
father and "the absolute sanctity of motherhood." Gurian offers
a somewhat narrow path as a guide through your daughter's adolescence, but
if nothing else, this book will provide a solid background in the physical
aspects of her growth. ~Jill Lightner, Amazon.com Reviewer

“A person's worth is

8: Develop Your Intuition |
Intuition is an innate
resource we are all born with which acts as a gentle guidance system
within our daily lives. As is often the case, non-use of our
intuitive faculties creates an atrophied state of our natural
ability. This class teaches methods for developing/strengthening
intuition by learning to identify personal intuitive symbols,
visualization exercises, dreamwork, and journaling. Held at 185
Commonwealth Road, Wayland, MA. 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Pre-registration
is required. For more info call 508-733-7079. Mention that you read
