Two Valuable Lessons Here……

I have to discuss this story because it’s hit me with such force at work.

I sometimes live under a rock so this was complete news to me. However, there are two lessons in this:

1) Never Ever judge a book by its cover

2) Never give up

I can’t embed the video because of YouTube rules but here’s the link you should hop on over and watch this video.

This is about the woman in the UK’s “Britain’s Got Talent” version of American Idol.

Susan Boyle is 47 years old, unemployed (but a charity worker) and “never been kissed”.

Her dream has always been to be a professional singer.

People laughed (including the judges) when she just walked out on the stage on Britain’s Got Talent. There were snickers when she told them of her dream. I have to tell you that that really irritates me whenever I see it and I’ll go on more about that later.

But then she opened her mouth and let loose. This woman, after that one song, has changed her life forever and if people stop to think about it, she has changed others lives dramatically as well.

She said she was aware of their snickers but figured she just had to continue on with her dream.

This video brought tears to my eyes because she just went out and “she showed them” – all those who judge people by their looks. I get so disgusted with people who do that.

But she never gave up. And to all those people who were laughing at her and criticizing her I simply say “I haven’t seen you on CNN, Good Morning America, or Larry King Live.”

At work, several of the men I work with with were talking about it and every single time they mentioned it, they would say how “ugly” she was. I couldn’t take it any more and when one of them said “she’s so ugly” I butted in (we do that in our office) and said “have you looked in the mirror lately”.

Why do people have to do that? Why can’t they accept people for what they are. As Susan said “that’s just one side of me”.

She never gave up. Take heart in both these lessons and continue to cheer her on.

Personal Actions For The Coming Week

I wanted to write a quick note to all of you before I leave to spend Christmas with my brother and his wonderful wife – another year reunited is certainly cherished by me.

This will be a hectic week for all of you. I encourage you to take personal time and reflect on 2007. Hopefully you will start by listing your “gratitudes” and if you haven’t done so already, I hope you will download the Gratitude Journal and begin using it daily or at least weekly so you can remember all the wonderful things that have happened to you.

In addition, most people try to decide what the coming year will bring. One way to get started with that is to do a Burning Bowl. Listen to the audio and it will help guide you. Or, you can listen to both the Burning Bowl and The Goal Setting Teleseminar from one page.

Enjoy. I gotta go..my cab is here

Dreaming of a White Christmas? Well, what about any Dreams?

No, this is not about Christmas…I just couldn’t resist.

It’s about Dreams. Are you the tiniest bit interested in what it means if you dream that you’re standing in water and can’t get out of the water…or floating down a river…or falling endlessly?

When I’m able to remember my dreams, I’m sure wondering what the heck these things mean.

Anne has been interpreting dreams for years. She will also teach you the keywords you need to remember to make the most of the interpretation. I don’t know about you, but I remember the dream in detail for a few minutes (maybe) and then poof….it’s gone. She’ll help you with some easy techniques to remember the key points too.

Once Everyday New Thought Community Membership site is opened we will be having monthly or bimonthly Dream Interpretation workshops where members will submit their dreams and we’ll pick a few and interpret them on the call.

This two week series on Dream Interpretation is a “prerequisite” of sorts to these workshops. So, sign up and learn about your dreams.

It will be 13 and 20 December (it’s also less intense so we figured that would be easier for you to listen to in this hustle and bustle time of year). Same time as usual: 5:05 p.m. Pacific, 7:05 p.m. Central, 8:05 p.m. Eastern.

What do you REALLY want for Christmas?

I think we get so lost in all the things we’re “supposed to do” at this time of year – the “holiday season” – it should just be changed to “the hectic season” if you ask me.

But, anyway, this is a great time to stop and smell the roses, as they say. Of course most areas have wintery weather and there probably aren’t alot of roses around, are there. So, you’re probably thinking that Terrie’s just being Terrie. And maybe that’s true but take a look at the rose. Even if there’s no rosebud visible at this moment, there’s still a rose – it’s just underground being protected and nurtured in order for it to reach it’s next level – it’s next level of awareness in a sense.

Just as we look at the material things especially at this time of year, we should not neglect the “underground rose” in our existence. We say we want “Happiness” but what does that mean? People come to New Thought to “find” or “get” things that are missing in their lives. And if they don’t get them right away, they snub their nose, turn their backs and mutter “this stuff doesn’t work. I knew it was bogus.”

But as we tell you week after week, it’s more than just ONE thing you have to do. We all came here (to this earth) to learn some lessons. We don’t necessarily know what those lessons are but the sooner we find out what they are, the sooner we can pass them all – and then – move on to our next vibrational level – just like the Rose!

So, we’re having a teleseminar this week titled What I really want for Christmas – Anne will help us get our priorities straight – but more than that, she’ll be letting us know how we can get the crib sheets for those lessons and pass these tests with a bit more ease than before. I know I’ve been floundering around for all these years. I think I should get my rudder in the water and find the right direction. I’ll be listening intently to her teaching.

If you’re interested, you can go to the registration page or you can just sign up here:

Date: This Thursday 6 December 2007

Time: 5:05 p.m. Pacific, 7:05 p.m. Central, 8:05 p.m. Eastern

Burning Bowl Successes

And we have people who have commented on the importance of the Burning Bowl.
Here are two of them who provided us with input. These things really work!

We received this wonderful note from

Marie writes from Iowa:

Dear Terrie and Anne,
Thank you for the teleseminar session! It has been very valuable for me
and for my husband, John!
I feel greatly invigorated.
What helped me the most was the catagories from the Burning Bowl ritual.
It seems that once I know from what area comes the limiting thought, I can
release it faster. And that the Belief System catagory is where I am
declaring the Truth of who I am. The affirmations that you shared are extremely potent, and of course I am interested in my Divine Potential!
I got to an edge of my thinking about my work, being an artist: sculptor and
painter. I am great at the building and supply for that. I became a sculptor at 45 and now at 51 I have big pieces in 4 states. I think Texas needs one, too. Anyway. I realized the language of the next steps of my
work in the world are where I am now affirming Divine Direction. This
has energized me greatly, and I know the avenues and the way, and the people
and the places will manifest. As will the recognition, and the comfort in
that, and the income!
This I wanted to share, thank you for hearing me on this electric drum!
