Dear Group and Bernie, Rebecca and Doreen, We have had some wonderful
spiritual discussions coming in! I think it is fascinating to see how the
stream of life can move in our personal ways, as we begin to notice more. I
remember I was doing a radio show, when I had my radio show, THE ENCHANTED
SELF on hope and had invited on my friend Dr. Sandra Prince-Embury. We
actually talked two time and incorporated a lot of discussion about hope,
self-renewal and personal faith and strength. During those two times she was
on, I was walking near my house, over a bridge I had walked on for over
twenty years. I looked down and on the metal marker that I guess is the lid
to a pipe or something that runs under the cement, was the word HOPE. I was
so surprised. It was somehow a nice comment from the 'universe' for our
discussions. In all those years I had never seen that metal cover and yet I
probably had walked on it a hundred times! So much is out there and some of
it is just what each of us needs at any minute in time!

I encourage each of you to look for the positive markers, whether they come
from the right words out of someone's mouth, something you read, or a feeling
inside that you are on the right track. THE ENCHANTED SELF encourages an
exquiste self-knowledge that focuses on knowing who you are from a positive
perspective. That means knowing your own strengths, talents, coping skills,
interests and of course potential, even your hidden, almost buried potential.
If you take the time to know yourself by these markers and do not waste time
focusing exclusively on your self-disappointments or weaknesses, you will be
able to take the best from the universe. Opportunities will present
themselves and you will be able to say, "Yes, yes, yes!"

I think that Rebecca and Bernie are doing just that. Doreen makes an
important comment-sometimes what is presented is not exactly as we imagined
and yet it seems to still have our name on it. That's why it is so important
to really know yourself-and in many circumstances to take into account your
weaknesses so that you can use good judgement in decision making.

Let me stop and encourage further sharing-


Take care,

Barbara
