I can't believe it. And, I'm so excited. Terrie has been working endlessly throughout the past several months to make sure that when we opened there would be plenty of material to keep you busy - and of course, there will be much more in the future. There may even be too much information - nah, just kidding. We want you to delve deep into this material becuase the more you read and listen to, the more it will be ingrained into your subconscious and you will transform yourself in a way you would never think possible.

The discussion forums will be a very special feature too but only once people start participating. That will get things rolling and the more you talk with each other, the more you'll realize you are surrounded by like-minded people who are very supportive of each other. You know the old saying "see one, do one, teach one"? Well, that will be so applicable here because there will be folks who aren't as experienced as others and they will be asking questions. You will need to help them and bring them along. That way Everyday New Thought will be a very large and extremely powerful family.

Terrie just has  few more glitches to work out and we should be able to open the doors!

Stay tuned....

Let's enjoy our time together, o.k.?

This morning I took my morning coffee and sat out on my porch to do my morning thank you's.  I start every day by reminding myself how very lucky I am.  I sometimes ask myself how I can better explain my trip on planet Earth.

I know now that I had never made a decision to be happy.  I had never made a decision on what I wanted to do or become. I just had a lot of questions with no answers.  I would ask myself what I was on Planet Earth to do.   I didn't get an answer.  I would ask myself what I would really love doing.  I didn't get an answer.  I floated through life with no direction.

One day something stirred me to say, "I  don't know what I want but I certainly know what I don't want.  I sat down  and started listing the things  I really wanted to eliminate from my life. 

I wrote for what seemed hours.  I  listed everything from barking dogs in the middle of the night, to having to wait on delivery people who promised to be ther at 9:00am and arrived at 9:00pm, to having people who "knew  everything"  give me unsolicited advice.   The fact that now I don't have those kinds of situations or people in my life starts me very quickly with a new gratitude list.

For those of you who haven't decided they are in charge of their own life, I suggest you make a list as I did. 

Sometimes our best place to start is to determine what we don't want so we can take the opposite and claim what we do want.  

That is the Secret that gets us out of the mud and into flying high. 

Just keep on keeping on.  We can all reach a point of pure joy when we make decisions to be happy and take steps to let it happen.

Til next time.

Be happy and love yourself

Hi all,

    The week in Phoenix at the International New Thought Alliance Congress was wonderful.  Just seeing so many friends from over the 30 years I have been attending was a joy.  It was a beautiful time for me.  I went in early for the Executive Board Meeting on Monday. The New Thought Leaders Program on Tuesday was a delight.  Several people told me they had been on our teleseminars and  had not known about New Thought.

They only knew they desired to be around people who thought like they did.   It's so much fun to meet people you know by their voice and name and now can match with a face.

    It was very busy.  There was so many workshops and speakers and we all wanted to hear everything.   The  first time attendees were so excited.  Many of them had never known there was New Thought, or Divine Science, or Unity, or Religious Science…….  Much less the other 26 groups and organizations who come under the umbrella of New Thought. 

     Dr. Terrie Wurzbacher came in on Tuesday to do the "How to"  on teleseminars. Those of you who saw her power point presentation on "The 12  Powers of  Man" based on the book by Catherine Ponder know that Terrie is a genius at creating things like that.  When Terrie showed a map with little red dots in every place we had listeners they all sat up and took notice.  Power Point  is quite impressive.  She gave almost an hour of  slides with the kind of equipment needed, the costs of different items and discussed the free help they could get on line. She gave them web page addresses and phone numbers.  She told them how to create publicity,  All of this was done with pictures, graphs, fun things and serious things. THEN.  She volunteered to do the  first seminar with each attendee  (and the room was full)  Bunches of people signed up for that nice benefit. 

    I gave my presentation on Thursday night.  That was also well received.  I had so much fun.  People asked me what I was doing in retirement.  My standard answer was "Anything I want to."  

    The Congress was a great success.  I wish you had all been there.
