Hi, I am new to the group....and live in sunny South Africa! I have just
reread Carolinešs books and loved them all over again. Her message resonates
with me so much more now that I have been through the cocoon stage, I now
truly understand...I received a channeling the other day which used the
analogy of a cup of coffee, only when it is empty can you really refill the
cup with superb coffee, a much better, richer flavored coffee which will
make the enjoyment so much better.... So very often we try to fill a half
empty cup with new tasting coffee, which will only dilute what you already
have and not give you the opportunity to savor the new.

Much love
Lesley.
