What a wonderful couple of months it's been! Been so happy-busy that I haven't published a Newsletter for a while! I'll update you in this one.

Fall is coming to South Florida! YAY!! October is my favorite month here in Miami--the weather gets drier, cooler and absolutely gorgeous.

All is well in my family, and I am grateful for the abundant blessings in my life.

I launched a brand new group coaching program for spiritual entrepreneurs in August, *The Soul to Soul Marketing Mastery Program* and it's taken off like crazy! Helping spiritual business owners to revitalize their businesses to help more people and make more money has become a passion and a real joy for me. For me, it's "dropping a big pebble into the pond".

I hired a new coach in June, Suzanne Evans, who has helped me to quantum-leap my own spiritual business. My assistant, Sharon Savage has taken on more responsibilities in her amazing way and makes my business life so much easier. And I just hired a fabulous Web Support Team who handle the techie stuff for me! I am blessed!

AN EXCITING NEW DIRECTION!

Check out Soul to Soul Marketing  for a look at the new program I created and launched in August. The first group of members of this 3 month group coaching program are excited about finding their 'tribes', using their own healing stories to connect with that tribe, and realizing just how natural and authentic marketing to them can be! They are living their calling and increasing their incomes!

If you need this kind of support to stop struggling and start thriving, contact me for a F*ree 15 Minute Spiritual Business Strategy Session to discuss how we can work together to get your spiritual business going and growing!

If you are excited by the idea of a 3 Month Group Soul to Soul Marketing Mastery Program, I am taking enrollments right now for the next group which will start in a few weeks.

EVERYONE NEEDS A MENTOR

If you examine the lives and careers of the most successful people around, you will find that they all have coaches or mentors of some kind. Trying to go it alone is a lonely path that usually involves more struggle and strife than necessary. In my case, I have always had phenomenal coaches, mentors and teachers along the way who pulled me up to the next rung on the ladder.

Most recently, I hired a great coach, made a big investment in her six month group coaching program, and within 2 months of hiring her, I had tripled my income and made back all the money I invested in her program! In TWO MONTHS!!

Think about it. Are you worth the investment of time, money and energy it would take to hire a coach? If you're not sure, then work on clearing the blocking energies around this and invite the next helpful person into your life who will support and help you create your dreamed-of success!!

I want the same kind of rapid turn-around for my clients that I experienced with my coach. That could be YOU! Maybe the next right coach for you is me, maybe not, but please, make the decision to give yourself the gift of that kind of support. It will make an astonishing difference.

SELF CARE vs CARING FOR LOVED ONES

One of the areas of expertise I have developed over many years is the ability to help people shift from sacrificing their own well-being in order to help a struggling loved one, to learning how to honor and care for themselves. Self-Love and Self-Care is the best way to heal ALL of your relationships. If I can support you around this kind of issue, I'd be honored. Contact me and we'll make a plan for creating more harmony in your relationship with yourself.

HEART or BRAIN ~ Which One Is Leading Your Life?

Science is telling us that the energy field of the human heart is THOUSANDS of times greater than that of the human brain. Shouldn't surprise us, but perhaps it does, given how we have glorified the role of the logical mind in modern culture. ...and intuition, emotion,....well, not so much.

How many people do you know who truly live their lives led by their Hearts? Do you? Many are afraid to do so because of what we've been taught about the perils of emotional vulnerability. And the instability of an emotional approach to life.

 But what many don't understand is that once you've decided to honor the Heart and give up trying to over-protect it, you begin to realize just how strong and sturdy it is. The hurts we think might just kill us, in fact are bearable and become more bearable the less resistance we have to feeling the hurt. Paradoxical. And true.

What becomes clear to one on a Heart-centered path is that the risk of vulnerability is far more desirable than the experience of a life lived WITHOUT Heart. This is a path of no turning back, and one that enriches and gives meaning beyond belief to one's life.

The life lived in a Heart-Centered way differs from one lived with a closed Heart in significant ways:

The Heart-Centered life is:

• Alive
• Flowing
• Energized
• Inspired
• Unfolding
• Magical
• Joyful
• Juicy
• Easier
• Satisfying

By contrast the Brain-Centered life is:

• Dry
• Muffled
• Over-thought
• Controlled
• Predictable
• Difficult
• Disappointing
• Ordinary
• Harder
• Disconnected

Now, granted these are generalizations, and there is a lot more to add to the concept of a Heart-Centered life, but they are meant to highlight the very real cost to us if we move Heart out of the way and go with the seemingly more reliable Brain in making life choices.

Journal your answers to these questions about the highlights of your life:

1. In the peak moments of your life, which was more present for you, your Heart or your Brain?
2. In choosing the most significant people in your life, how did you decide to embark on these relationships, from your Heart or your Brain?
3. How did you choose your life's work: with your Heart or your Brain?
4. Day to day, how do you flow through your life: with your Heart or your Brain leading the way?

Lots more on this next time!

Love you!
