I’d like to share two resources that have really made a big impact on my life and let everyone know of an excellent free call tonight at 9:00 pm Eastern Time (NY Time, for those who are doing time conversions outside the US).

We have long been a fact and evidence-based society, wanting proof for everything. This can sometimes hinder us in the emotional and spiritual realm, because we think we need to see something to believe it. Unfortunately, the Law of Attraction states the opposite: We get what we put out.

Winter and I did not get along very well at the time — winter meant not only dark, but cold.

Sunday Blues
Hooked in to my thought process was the Sunday blues. I was focused on dread most of the time — dread of studying, dread of going to classes, dread of tests. Underneath it all was dread of failing, of not being good enough. I put so much pressure on myself in high school and college that I was in a constant state of alert stress — what else do I need to do, what have I forgotten, what did I do wrong? These were my internal tapes, my mantras.
