"Feeling a sense of purpose allows you to bring joy to whatever it is you're doing." ~Marci Shimoff Here is the uplifting inspirational desktop wallpaper for your computer. Please forward this message to your friends, and encourage them to subscribe!
What a busy month May has been. I've been fortunate enough to have listened to at least four inspiring teleconference calls. Here are two very inspiring interviews I heard. Debbie Ford was interviewed by Elese Coit on Contact Talk Radio and I found her to be very passionate about what she does. (use the link above to find "Debbie Ford" and click "stream" to hear it.) Here are a few notes from her interview: There are no accidents! If you just sit with your anger and tell yourself "I did this (whatever it is you're angry about), why would I do this..." it will help transform your emotional life. This is the year of the shadow wherein we are going to wake up from denial. We're here to stretch ourselves and confront some fear, insecurity, and anxiety. Love is the answer to confronting these things because it brings light to the darkness! The insecurity in you needs love; it needs light. If I heal my inner world then I'm healing my outer world. (I love this quote from Debbie! Our inner world is where health, and happiness start!) Her tagline is "stepping from the darkest thought to your greatest dream." She really dives into shadow work with her students, in fact, she got started doing shadow work with Deepak Chopra's students. She's got a movie release soon: "Be uplifted by the power that is hidden beneath the surface of your conscious mind. Take this emotionally gripping, visually compelling journey into your mysterious shadow self—the hiding place for your most disliked thoughts, emotions, and impulses—and discover how by embracing your worst fears, you can step into your greatest self. Be transformed by Debbie Ford, the #1 New York Times best-selling author and internationally acclaimed expert on the human shadow, as well as some of the most brilliant and evolutionary thinkers of the 21st century. Be inspired to uncover the wisdom in your wounds, the blessings in your misfortunes, and the gifts that are waiting to be claimed where you may least expect them…in the dark." Debbie Ford: The Shadow Effect movie coming soon. ------- Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy is known as SARK. I heard her call on thewomenmasters.com. She has been called to be a beacon of inspiration to women everywhere. She says, "all growth comes in spirals and layers." Her journey to helping people began with hand-writing inspirational posters which ended up surprising her and selling like hotcakes. She emphasizes that self-love is: you loving you so you can love the world more. What is your self-love hungering for? "Dreams don't go away. They will wait for you all your life." For this reason, she advises to say your creative dreams out loud to somebody. That will get the wheels turning for you to begin the process of making your dreams into reality. She's had a telephone line for five years dedicated to giving you a recording of her inspirational messages. When you're having a bad day, just call the inspiration line and you'll feel better. I was amazed to hear how many women have really changed their lives for the best after reading SARK's books, too. Until next time! Follow me on Twitter: |

Photography and Photoshop work by Jessica Alvarez. This landscape photo is from somewhere near Boulder Colorado, taken in May of 2009. The Photoshop filter applied is "paint daubs." I thought about what phrase to put on this wallpaper for two weeks and no mountain or valley quotes seemed right. It's a postcard-perfect shot so I oversaturated the colors and added the "flying" text, "Love is" to it. Do you remember the cartoons that ran in newspapers that always began with "Love is..."? That's what I'm getting at here, that love simply IS, and we can simply BE, and drink in all the beautiful landscapes of the world as if we were right there.
