			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The following is Day 12 from the Free e-Course &#8220;Finding True Love,&#8221;  based on an out of print book by Chuck Spezzano.  You can sign up to receive a lesson daily, or read the entire e-course:</strong><a href="http://aspaceoflove.com/ecourses.html"><strong></p>
<p>http://aspaceoflove.com/ecourses.html</strong></a></p>
<p><strong>Before you read this I&#8217;d like to add one thought.  In &#8216;A Course in Miracles&#8217; it says, &#8220;God knows you don&#8217;t know how to forgive, be willing to forgive and God will take care of the rest.&#8221;  Guilt is always about an unwillingness to forgive ourselves.  But we don&#8217;t even know how to forgive ourselves!  &#8221;I am willing&#8221; is the key.  Just start saying to yourself, &#8220;I am willing to forgive myself&#8221; or &#8220;I am willing to release this feeling of guilt&#8221; (or unworthiness or fear) and then allow God (or whatever word you want to use &#8211; the Universe, Love etc&#8230;) to take care of the rest.  Remember it only require willingness, nothing else!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>*     *     *     *     *     *</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Guilt, Unworthiness and Fear are Merely Illusions.</strong></p>
<p><strong>All negative emotions are illusions. Certainly we experience them and they affect us and sometimes even kill us. But, the good news is, these feelings are an illusion.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Painful feelings are an indication that something is amiss. I&#8217;ve worked with tens of thousands of people around the world and I have yet to find anyone, with any kind of willingness, who was unable to resolve the blackest guilt, the deepest pain or the greatest fear.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The basis of the mind is happiness, or wholeness, and it is that wholeness which allows and promotes our continued movement towards growth and healing.</strong></p>
<p><strong>I&#8217;ve encountered many people who thought they were to blame for problem situations in their families while they were growing up, or for other dilemmas they encountered in life. They thought they were so guilty that they did not deserve to have a partner.</strong></p>
<p><strong>I&#8217;ve met many others who thought so poorly about themselves they believed they were unworthy of a partner. Others, who wanted a partner, were afraid to have one, because they felt they were too inadequate to be intimate. They were afraid that when their partners got to know them, they would leave them.</strong></p>
<p><strong>These feelings can be corrected fairly easily. Know that even though you are experiencing such feelings they are not accurate. These feelings, which can block you from finding a partner and destroy relationships, are not the truth. They can be resolved if you are willing to find the way past them, and change, so your life can be better.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Exercise<br />
Make a personal inventory of all the negative feelings which may stop you from finding your perfect mate.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Don&#8217;t make a monument to a mistake. Don&#8217;t let mistakes be the superglue which stops you moving forward. If you are willing to change, a better life awaits you.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Choose the truth.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Be willing to have a new perception of situations where you are in pain. Pain is an indication of misperception. Your Higher Mind can give you a perception where no one is to blame, not even you.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Ask yourself: &#8216;What has been my purpose in holding on to the old pain?&#8217;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Now make a choice as to whether your being right about how you experienced situations and the lack of love and success it entails is more important to you than learning the truth and being successful and happy.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>I&#8217;m in the midst of editing my new book, &#8220;Parallel Worlds,&#8221; and I was thinking about how I could share something regularly that would be of value.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The following is from a Free e-Course on my site called, &#8220;30 Days to Finding True Love,&#8221; but it&#8217;s not about &#8216;finding&#8217; anyone it&#8217;s about finding the love that&#8217;s within you, and recognizing what holds you back.  I&#8217;ve selected some of the lessons and exercises that I use most when doing counseling work.</strong></p>
<p><strong>(The following link will allow you to either sign up for the course &#8211; it&#8217;s free &#8211; and receive a lesson daily, or you can go there and read the entire text.)</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://aspaceoflove.com/ecourses.html"><strong>http://aspaceoflove.com/ecourses.html</strong></a></p>
<p><strong>Roles, rules and duties</strong></p>
<p><strong>Roles and duties are about doing the right things for the wrong reasons. We drop into roles for approval, perform our expected duties to prove we are good, and to show others, usually our parents, how they should have acted in order to treat us right.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Roles and duties are based on grievances, feelings of guilt and failure. They are embodied forms of sacrifice and compensate us for our painful feelings.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Roles are like suits of armor, encasing us, cutting us off from intimacy, our ability to give and receive. Roles create deadness. The two most common roles are &#8216;being good&#8217; and &#8216;being a hard worker&#8217;.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Giving and receiving increases our sense of self-worth and heals the main dynamic of fear of commitment, which is that no one, including ourselves, is worthy of continuous attention.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Rules are built on guilt and pain. They have the same dynamics as roles and duties. They are rigid demands on ourselves and others, which lead to no-win situations, because if someone follows your rules, you feel a bit safer but still have the fear that generated those rules. Rules are counterfeit principles.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Exercise<br />
Look for all the areas in which you are giving, but don&#8217;t seem to be receiving. Giving and receiving are a natural cycle, giving leads to receiving. An area where you are not receiving is an area in which you are in a role. To change a role into true giving just choose to give rather than giving because you are supposed to.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Make a list of all your rules which apply to the areas where you would feel hurt, upset or insulted if your rules weren&#8217;t kept, e.g. infidelity, tardiness, insensitivity.</strong></p>
<p><strong>To find these rules, think back to the times you felt hurt. As you find your rules, make new choices about the ones you feel ready to let go of.</strong></p>
<p><strong>A rule hides old pain and guilt and is really a defense begging to be attacked so that the pain and guilt can be healed. Typically, when a rule is broken and we experience pain in a relationship, we adopt a reactive, defensive or attacking posture to protect ourselves rather than using the opportunity for communication, healing and evolution.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>Often people wait for money (or whatever) and refuse to follow their intuition because they think they can&#8217;t &#8216;afford&#8217; to do something or give generously.  But in my experience trusting and having faith that ALL-is-Well, and that we live in an abundant universe, has always shown me that love naturally flows.  You cannot create a &#8216;void&#8217; with loving intentions without the universe rushing to fill it back in.</strong></div>
<div><strong><br />
</strong></div>
<div><strong>Here&#8217;s an example that happened yesterday.  A wonderful friend sent a very unexpected donation.  The following letter which I sent to her (and her response) will perfectly show how this works.</strong></div>
<div><strong><br />
</strong></div>
<div><strong>&#8221; I must tell you more about the amazing perfection of your gift.  A week ago on Friday I went to the bank and planned to take out $100&#8230;which is A LOT in Guatemala.  Spirit pops into my head and instructs me to take out $200 (for no particularly good reason as far as I could tell, but I&#8217;m good at following directions!)</strong></div>
<div><strong><br />
</strong></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>A week earlier I had decided to give my 10% tithing to my daughter&#8217;s riding instructor, Norma (newly single mom trying to do it on her own with 4 children).  And I told her how I always set the money aside (10%) and don&#8217;t touch it because it has to go to someone&#8230;.and since it has to go to someone, I wanted it to go to her, because she was always so loving and kind to everyone and I really wanted to support her.   We had to have a bit of a talk about the importance of receiving, but she finally agreed.</strong></div>
<div><strong><br />
</strong></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>So, three days after taking out the $200, Norma was giving us a ride home.  I asked her about a past issue where her 14 year old daughter&#8217;s dad wouldn&#8217;t let her go to a birthday party at the beach, and why he had that level of influence, and she explained that she needed his financial help, and that he&#8217;d promised to give her $100 (the previous Friday) for her daughter&#8217;s school, but he never actually gave her the money, and she&#8217;d written a check based on his word.  (To give you an idea of what $100 is here&#8230; a full time teacher makes $180 per month, a maid makes $1.10 per hr!)</strong></div>
<div><strong><br />
</strong></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>Before Norma started telling me this story I was already planning to give her a generous amount of money, but then I absolutely knew I was supposed to give her the full amount&#8230; and of course, I had it in my pocket!  I said, &#8220;Norma, this $100 is for you.  It&#8217;s a gift.  I have tax return money coming in, and this is the 10% I&#8217;d be giving you, so please take it.&#8221;</strong></div>
<div><strong><br />
</strong></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>Norma burst into tears, saying she&#8217;d pay me back.  I said, &#8220;No, this isn&#8217;t from me.  I just take directions from God and pass gifts along.  You&#8217;re only job is to receive!  And I was told to take out this extra money last Friday.&#8221;</strong></div>
<div><strong><br />
</strong></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>Norma said, &#8220;I believe you, Heather, I was praying to God about this, and my prayer was answered!&#8221;</strong></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>Then we had this great talk about the importance of receiving&#8230;especially for people like Norma who are SO giving.  And about letting go of judgment toward her ex (and not looking to him for supply) but instead to go directly to the Source of All Abundance!</strong></div>
<div><strong><br />
</strong></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>So your gift coming today, so unexpected and out of the blue, just reconfirms everything I&#8217;m always telling everyone else!!!  :-)   I always have faith.  And at the same time it&#8217;s so delightful when my own little miracles show up in such an obvious way.  Love flowing through money, which is what I did for Norma&#8230;.I flowed my love and support for her through money, and now you&#8217;ve done the same for me&#8230;and we&#8217;re all connected to the same Source so Love flows through us and to us!!  Love that!&#8221;</strong></div>
<div><strong><br />
</strong></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong><em>&#8220;Dearest Heather&#8230;</em></strong></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong><em>I am so happy to be able to share my blessings with you.. Friday I got a strong  thought after reading your facebook email that I should make a $100 donation to you and that you were in need of it.  I thought ok but got busy and forgot. Saturday I was in my Prayer Room and the thought came again saying I needed to go now and make that donation to you.. that you would be waiting for it. I never question the instructions&#8230; I do as told also&#8230;This was love showing up where it was needed&#8230; for you.  You are amazing&#8230;to say the least and your daughter is so so special. She is blessed to have you as her mom&#8230; I do not know to many mom&#8217;s who would have the courage to jump traditional and go for the thrilling&#8230; dare to live the dream&#8230;</em></strong></div>
<div><strong><em><br />
</em></strong></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong><em>Peace, joy and love to you my friend&#8230; keep in touch&#8230; letting us know what&#8217;s happening in your world&#8230;..<span style="font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;"><strong><em>Love you!&#8221;<br />
</em></strong></span></em></strong></div>
<div><strong><em><span style="font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;"><strong><em>* * * * * * * *<br />
</em></strong></span></em></strong></div>
<div><strong><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>When I gave the money to Norma I felt SO MUCH JOY in the giving.  I was thrilled that I could help her, and you can see from the letter I received that my friend felt the same joy and willingness in her gift to me.  This is Love Flowing Through Money.  The amount doesn&#8217;t matter &#8211; it&#8217;s the loving intention behind the gift.  Money given with love never fails to return.  And as you can see, it wasn&#8217;t just money returning, but money given with love.</strong></span></strong></div>
<div><strong><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong><br />
</strong></span></strong></div>
<div><strong>Carolyn Myss (a well known medical intuitive) once taught a class about developing intuition.  She started off by saying something to this effect.  &#8221;Every person in this room is so intuitive it&#8217;s painful.  And the reason it&#8217;s painful is because you do not ACT on your intuition.</strong></div>
<div><strong><br />
</strong></div>
<div><strong>Acting on your intuition means you follow your feelings, even though there&#8217;s no &#8216;evidence&#8217; that you&#8217;re being supported.  The &#8216;evidence&#8217; always, always appears, but not until you take action.  You&#8217;re always called on to have faith and courage first, then you see the little miracles blossom!</strong></div>
<div><strong>Here&#8217;s a link to a slideshow I created.  You can tone with the music at the end and go here anytime you need to be reminded that you live in an abundant universe</strong></div>

<div><strong>Much love to you!  From Heather &amp; Amelia</strong></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Here’s a really fast way to feel better for even the busiest person:  Click on the link, (the music will play automatically, just be sure your volume is turned up) hold the thought, “I’m willing to be at peace,” close your eyes, breathe deeply and sing with the music (or just hum).  It only takes 2 minutes:<br />
<a href="http://aspaceoflove.com/index.html">http://aspaceoflove.com/index.html</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>Try toning, either with the music (or without it) 2 or more times a day.  Whenever I was fearful about something &#8211; like not having enough money &#8211; I’d tell myself that I was just going to take a few minutes to tone, and that when I was done toning (I’d usually sing for 10-20 min. while driving my car to work) I could go back to worrying at that time.</strong></p>
<p><strong>So my analytical mind would let go.  I would sing, and when I was finished I&#8217;d feel so good, I’d always think, “Well, I could go back to worrying…but why?”</strong></p>
<p><strong>Most people feel a difference the first time they sing, but if you don’t feel different, try it for a bit longer.  Instead of 2 minutes try it for 10 min.  (at least two or three times). </strong></p>
<p><strong>And here’s something I’d love to know.</strong></p>
<p><strong>For anyone willing to try this ‘healing experiment’ for 3 days (ideally you would sing for 10 to 20 minutes, 2 or 3 times a day) I’d love to know if something happens within that 3 day time period.  I don’t know what it is about 3 days, but every person who has taken the time to write to me about their experience with toning reported something changing (often dramatically) within 3 days.  (And that was my experience too!)</strong></p>
<p><strong>You can hear about my ‘3 day’ experience on Track 1  of the Silent Language of Peace download (click the link below). And you can download the toning-meditation music (10 minutes) on track 7:</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>If Someone You Know Has a Problem, but They Don’t Have a Problem With Their Problem… Is It Still a Problem?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Here’s a little something I discovered…even if the whole world agrees that someone has a problem, if they don’t have a problem with their problem…it’s not your problem.  (Even if they do have a problem with their problem, it’s still not your problem!)</strong></p>
<p><strong>Now I figure you’re either laughing, or you may think I don’t know what I’m talking about and listing all of the exceptions to the rule on this one.  So if you fall into the latter category, just ask yourself, “Would you prefer to be right or happy?”</strong></p>
<p><strong>Now this is totally off the subject, but I have to quickly share something I did about 20 years ago while traveling cross country in my car.  I was on a highway that took me through tiny towns and every place I stopped the bathroom doors had loads of graffiti.  I found it very annoying that was all there was to read.  So the next time I went to the bathroom I took a huge gold magic marker (the fancy kind for invitations) and I wrote on the stall door (on the inside of course)  “Would you prefer to be right or happy?”</strong></p>
<p><strong>I was so pleased with myself I just sat there smiling.  In fact, I’d started taking my gold pen into every gas station and I wrote some small, intriguing quote from “A Course in Miracles” wherever I went.  Well a month or so later I was headed back and happened to stop at that very first gas station. I was delighted to see that all of the graffiti had been cleaned off of the door, except my shiny, gold quote!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Ok, back to that problem that’s not your problem!  (I’m going to be loosely describing a book called, “Awareness” by Anthony de Mello.  And referring to a chapter called “Change as Greed.”  This is a FANTASTIC BOOK…I highly recommend it!)</strong></p>
<p><strong>Now, the first thing you have to recognize is that when you perceive someone as ‘having a problem’ you are feeling a negative emotion.  So recognize that these feelings are about you… they are your feelings.  Another person in your position would be perfectly calm and at ease in the presence of this person, they’re not affected you are.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Now here’s what Anthony de Mello says, “Now, understand another thing, that you’re making a demand.  You have an expectation of this person.”</strong></p>
<p><strong>When I read this I was stunned.  I felt that I was a spiritual grownup.  I would never make a demand on another person.  I had learned not to be judgmental &#8211; hadn’t I?  But there it was.  Any negative emotion, for any reason whatsoever boiled down to ME being in judgment, having an expectation, and making a demand.  And this was just last summer!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Happily, I’m happy to learn.  There’s nothing in me that wants to hang on to an uncomfortable way of being.  So you too, can instantly ‘wake up’ just like I did, if you want to!</strong></p>
<p><strong>But let me quote a bit more.  “Then say to this person, ‘I have no right to make any demands on you.’  In saying this you will drop your expectation.  ‘I have no right to make any demands on you.’  Oh, I’ll protect myself from the consequences of your actions or your moods or whatever, but you can go ahead and be yourself, I have no right to make any demands on you.”</strong></p>
<p><strong>That quote set me free.  You see, I’d been married to my husband, Don, for nine years.  Don has a feisty, Italian, hot-blooded heritage, he can be absolutely wonderful and then moody and then back to wonderful, and then stressing out about finances, angry while driving, happy then worrying or whatever.  I am cool by nature, grounded, handle stress extremely well, and I might add, in our Relationship Report (you can read about these in the astrology section on my site…and you can get a couple of pages for free as well if you’re in an intimate relationship – <a href="http://www.aspaceoflove.com/astrology.html">www.aspaceoflove.com/astrology.html</a>) there’s an aspect between us where Don “stimulates” me to feel angry, and to make matters worse, the report points out that this is “MY PROBLEM” not his!  How annoying is that?</p>
<p>And it was true.  For over nine years, Don was “making me mad” a few times a week!  I knew it was my problem.  But I’d have to stop my otherwise perfect day to have to ‘deal’ with whatever it was that was upsetting Don.</strong></p>
<p><strong>For nine years, I’d been saying, “Now Don, look, you have to learn to let go, and just be happy…bla, bla, bla….”  But after reading “Awareness” I realized I wasn’t talking to Don about anything of interest to him, I was making a demand.  It went like this, “Stop screwing up my day.  I was having a happy day until I had to stop and deal with your latest problem.  I’ve only told you five billion times that ALL IS WELL (except your behavior!) bla, bla, bla.”</strong></p>
<p><strong>Now here’s the Faerie Dust…the piece of Pure Magic that transformed my world. </strong><strong>I FINALLY realized that I was ‘making a demand’ as a means of trying to PROTECT myself.</strong></p>
<p><strong>You see, I thought, of course my husband wants to be happy, and I can see why he’s not happy, so it’s obviously my job to point out ways he can change, and be happy…and then I’ll be happy (because in the end it is all about me and my happiness!)</strong></p>
<p><strong>But when I realized I was making a demand (very humbling, I might add!) I thought about how I’d feel if I wasn’t feeling well or if I was tired or grumpy and someone said, “Hey, Heather, cheer up, be happy!”  I’d be like, “Go to hell…I’m having a lousy day, clear out!”</strong></p>
<p><strong>Ding, ding, ding…I got it.  I need you to be happy so that I can be happy is a demand, because not everyone wants to be happy!  (Except me!  I do.  I love being happy.) And I discovered the trick to being HAPPY ALL the TIME.</strong></p>
<p><strong>I had to protect myself.</strong></p>
<p><strong>But before I go there, here’s one other thing from “Awareness” that I had to admit to myself.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Anthony de Mello says that if you’re in resistance to saying to another person: “I have no rights to make any demands on you,” then “how much you’re going to discover about your ‘me.’  Let the dictator in you come out, let the tyrant come out.  You thought you were such a little lamb, didn’t you?  But I’m a tyrant and you’re a tyrant.  A little variation on ‘I’m and ass, you’re an ass.’  I’m a dictator, you’re a dictator.  I want to run your life for you; I want to tell you exactly how you’re expected to act and how you’re expected to behave, and </strong><strong>you’d better behave as I have decided or I shall punish myself with negative feelings.”</strong></p>
<p><strong>Holy cow!  I was no longer a little lamb!  I saw clearly that I was a tyrant, a dictator and an ass!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Here’s what I did.  I read this section to Don and said, “You are going to LOVE this, honey.  I’m turning over a new cosmic leaf!  I am no longer going to make any demands of you.  I am never, ever again going to try to intervene in anything you do or anything you say.  You are free to be yourself.</strong></p>
<p><strong>“At the same time, I realize that I’ve been trying to talk to you…making demands that you be a happier, spiritually awakened person…because I’ve been trying to protect myself from your moods.  So you get to be your hot-blooded Italian self,  and I will protect myself from your moods &#8211; by taking over the guest room and making it into my ‘Faerie Goddess Temple!’  So when the door is closed, it means I’m not available.  Whatever mood you’re in, however you’re feeling about your job is now officially none of my business, and I will be in my room being happy, the way I like to be!”</strong></p>
<p><strong>Instantly I was in HEAVEN…every day!  A month went by and I had not been angry at Don even once.</strong></p>
<p><strong>But there’s a little more to this protection part.   In “Awareness” it says, “…I’ll protect myself, I’ll be myself.  In other words, I won’t allow you to manipulate me.  I’ll live my life; I’ll go my own way; I’ll keep myself free to think my thoughts, to follow my inclinations and tastes.  And I’ll say no to you.  If I feel I don’t want to be in your company, it won’t be because of any negative feelings you cause in me, because you don’t anymore.  You don’t have any power over me.  I simply might prefer other people’s company.  So when you say to me, ‘How about a movie tonight?’  I’ll say, ‘Sorry I want to go with someone else; I enjoy his company more than yours.’  And that’s all right.</strong></p>
<p><strong>To say no to people – that’s wonderful; that’s part of waking up.</p>
<p>Part of waking up is that you live your life as you see fit.  And understand:  That is not selfish.  The selfish thing is to demand that someone else live their life as YOU see fit…by demanding they live their life to suit your tastes, or your pride, or your profit, or your pleasure.  That is truly selfish.  So, I’ll protect myself.  I won’t feel obligated to say yes to you.  If I find your company pleasant, then I’ll enjoy it without clinging to it.  But I no longer avoid you because of any negative feelings you create in me.  You don’t have that power anymore.”</strong></p>
<p><strong>So what happens when there are no longer any negative feelings?  I wondered about that?  Nothing was repulsing me or attracting me.  I was lovingly detached.  And I felt like an observer.  I was just watching to see what Love had in store.  I absolutely knew the solution to negativity within myself.  But this understanding on my part didn’t protect my children from negativity that they didn’t want to experience either.</strong></p>
<p><strong>When this became clear I knew it was time to move on.  But it was with total love and appreciation for my husband.  And we sat and talked about the idea that Love’s solution is ALWAYS a win/win.  We talked about why Don would be happier too.  And there was a beautiful, kind, loving resolution between us.  Don went on to his winter job in Alta, Utah, and I was guided to go to the Yucatan and now Amelia and I live in Antigua, Guatemala – and absolutely love it!  <a href="http://www.aspaceoflove.com/antigua.html">www.aspaceoflove.com/antigua.html</a>.    Don has been supportive financially and emotionally, we continue to chat and be the best of friends, and yet I’m clear that I prefer living on my own with my daughter, and she’s happier as well.  But we all talk on Skype and share pictures and stories, and say “I love you.”</strong></p>
<p><strong>In learning to stop making demands, and at the same time protect myself by saying, “No,” I discovered how to love in a much more profound way.  I discovered I can love my husband and at the same time see the beauty of us living our lives exactly as we prefer.  And I saw a beautiful side of Don which was his willingness to align with the idea that Love ALWAYS has a win/win in store.  In all of the time we’ve been together, even in separating and going in our own directions, there has never been an unkind word between us.  And that continues to this day.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Don will tell you himself that one of his favorite things about me is that I’m a naturally happy, sunny kind of person, but that didn’t mean he wanted to have me explain to him on regular basis (two or three times a week for nine years!) how he too could be happy if he just ‘dealt’ with a few things!  It’s like saying, “I see you’re enjoying that lovely sunset…let me show you how you too can become a lovely sunset!”</strong></p>
<p><strong>Allowing your husband, wife, children, parents, co-workers or friends to be themselves does not require you to suffer, because you have the right to say no.  They’re aren’t responsible for your happiness.  You are!  You simply let them be the way they are, and then ask yourself, “Is this relationship appropriate for me?”</strong></p>
<p><strong>The truth is, we always know when a relationship is no longer appropriate, but it can be an inconvenience to act on your intuition.  Most people are afraid of what others will think, or they feel they can’t afford it.</strong></p>
<p><strong>So I’ll tell you what happened for me.  There was a defining moment when I absolutely knew without question that it was time to move out.  I knew I wouldn’t stay, but I had no money to move out.  So I thought, “No problem, I can camp.” And then this little voice said, “Winter’s coming.”  I thought, “We’ll camp in the Yucatan.  I’ve been there before, and I love the beach.”</strong></p>
<p><strong>The moment I thought that, bells went off in my head.  And I had the instant feeling to let everything go, even selling our horse, and that I wouldn’t be moving back to Sedona (though I loved living there and had lots of wonderful friends).  I had the feeling we’d end up in Central or South America, but I had no idea where.  Happily I’m good at trusting.</strong></p>
<p><strong>After two weeks of camping on the beach, I said, “Ok, God, any hint as to where we’re going after this would be great.”  The next day I met a woman on the beach, because Amelia was building sand castles with her sons.  Micky was originally from Tennessee and told me about how much she loved Antigua.  I asked about horses, and she told me that her friend owned an amazing stable where they were involved in natural horsemanship, and lessons were $12 an hour including the horse!  I thought, “Thank you, Spirit!  That’s where we’re moving!”</strong></p>
<p><strong>The point is, you have to trust first.  You have to trust that even when things don’t appear to be working out, they’re actually working out perfectly – every time without exception.  I no longer require any perspective to see this.  I know from experience that if a door closes – it’s the Universe’s way of guiding me to something that will make me infinitely happier – so I NEVER feel any sense of lack or limitation.  If I’m meant to be someplace it will fall in my lap effortlessly.</strong></p>
<p><strong>When we arrived in Antigua we walked one block to the main street (after camping behind the police station!) and saw Micky and her family waving wildly at us from their car.  She introduced me to a neighbor who needed a dog sitter, and while staying there Micky introduced me to another friend who is renting us an amazingly beautiful place.  (Pictures will be forthcoming!)</strong></p>
<p><strong>Amelia is taking riding lessons four times a week from Norma, the most wonderful teacher on the planet.  Her daughter is 14 and teaching Amelia Spanish, I contribute to the lessons, which helps Norma who’s a single mom, and supports her daughter as well.  They love Amelia, she loves them, and as Norma puts it, “You’re family!”  And that&#8217;s how it is with Guatemalans&#8230;if they love you, you&#8217;re family and that&#8217;s it!<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>When people ask us how long we’re planning to stay here Amelia says, “Forever!”</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>What would you do if  you had to take $1 and make it into $50 within 24 hours?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Here’s one of my all-time favorite stories!</strong></p>
<p><strong>In April 2003 I was working as an intuitive in Salt Lake City at a bookstore called “The Golden Braid.”  A man named Arthur came in for a session and the first thing I said was, “You’re really worried about money.”  Arthur said, “You have NO idea!  I just went to a class on abundance, and our first assignment is to take $1 and turn it into $50 within 24 hours.  We’re supposed to think ‘outside of the box’ but every time I try to do that I realize I’m still in the box!”</strong></p>
<p><strong>I asked Arthur what he planned to do.  He said, “Well, I have a friend that works with at risk teens, and I thought maybe I could give him a dollar and ask him to give me $50 and just trust me that I’d pay it back.”  Arthur then looked at me sheepishly and said, “I know&#8230;not a very good idea.”</strong></p>
<p><strong>We talked about a few ways to shift consciousness in terms of abundance and at the end of our session I said, “Arthur, give me just one minute.”  I went to the back storage room where I had a box of books, one I wrote called, “Children of Light.”  When I returned I said, “Arthur, there are over 30 books in here.  The story was written for young adults and teens, and it’s endorsed by Deepak Chopra and Jack Canfield, so you shouldn’t have any problems selling these and getting your $50 within 24 hours.  And maybe your friend will want some books for the at risk teens he works with.”</strong></p>
<p><strong>Arthur was, to say the least, slightly in shock.  He didn’t know what to say.  So I added, “Ok, Arthur, where’s that dollar?”  Arthur handed me the dollar, told me he’d be back in a week, gave me a hug and left.</strong></p>
<p><strong>I knew when I handed him those books for a dollar that I had just blown his ‘box’ to bits, so I could hardly wait to hear what happened!<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Arthur returned the next week, glowing.  Here’s what he told me.  The first thing he did was take the box to his car, and then he sat in the parking lot and cried for half an hour.  When he got home he went on the internet and read reviews on Amazon and other sites.  He saw the value of the book and knew he could sell it without a problem.  But then he started thinking about what group of people might like the book.  So the following Sunday he showed up at Unity Church in Salt Lake City, with the box of books and made an announcement.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Arthur told the congregation what “Children of Light” was about, that he was selling them for $10 a piece, and that all of the money would be donated to the church.  He then told them that he’d found a benefactor who would quadruple the amount purchased.  One man offered to buy any books that weren’t sold, but every book was sold.  The benefactor actually quintupled the amount, and Arthur gave the church $1,800.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Ok…so my “box” was blown WAY out of the water and out into the COSMOS!  I thought he’d just sell the books and keep the money.  But he gave it all away!</strong></p>
<p><strong>So here&#8217;s how that affected me.  When I met Arthur I was in the process of recording and producing a new CD called “The Silent Language of Peace” and a children’s cd (for your inner child too) called “Children of Light Affirmations.”  Of course, my plan was to sell the CDs.  Love’s plan was to make the information free to everyone in the form of Free Downloads. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Logically it makes no sense to produce CDs and then offer free downloads.  But from Love’s perspective it’s all about giving from the heart.   Or as Jesus put it, “Freely ye have received, so freely give.”  So I followed Divine Directions and now over 20,000 free downloads have been given away&#8230; so far! </strong></p>
<p><strong>I realized that the content of the CDs had come to me as a gift.  I wanted to know how to heal myself, and in the process of asking and receiving I discovered how incredibly easy it is to heal any aspect of your life. </strong><strong> Anyone who has worked with the Silent Language of Peace audio-program will tell you that it&#8217;s impossible to follow the simple guidelines without having your life change (dramatically in most cases!)<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>If you haven’t experienced the free downloads yet, you can read the novel Arthur donated  “Children of Light” and listen to “The Silent Language of Peace – audio program” or the Children’s Affirmations CD (and much more) here at: <a href="http://www.aspaceoflove.com/free_downloads.html">www.aspaceoflove.com/free_downloads.html</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>I hope you’ll share this with your friends &#8211; that’s really what it’s all about!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Love, Heather</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>A few days ago Amelia came running into the house and said, “Shake my hand!”  I said, “Ok…”  She said, “I just shook the hand of Ricardo…he’s the owner of the stables…and Mom, he has the most BEAUTIFUL energy!  I just wanted to pass it along to you by shaking your hand.”</strong></p>
<p><strong>Today Ricardo walked up to me and introduced himself in that sweet Guatemalan way where they give you a hug and a kiss on the cheek, even if you’re a total stranger.  Now I knew Amelia would be right about his energy, and she was; his eyes were luminous and smiling, he had an open-hearted way of being, funny and quick to laugh.  But I had no idea.  I expected a wealthy landowner who was friendly, but as we started talking I was amazed.  Even though he’s only in his mid-thirties, Ricardo has built a hospital, a church, 11 libraries, he’s clearing the land to build a school for 500 children who can’t afford school.  He has facilities to train young women so they can provide from themselves, and he provides free day care as well.   He built the stables where Amelia rides, in order to rescue horses.  And when horses retire from being school horses, they go to lush, green pastures.  The list goes on and on.</strong></p>
<p><strong>I asked Ricardo what caused him to become a humanitarian.  He said he grew up as a rich kid in a bubble &#8211; going from parties in Guatemala City to Antigua to the ocean and to the lake (a lot of estates are there) when he went to college he partied a lot.  But he never saw the rest of Guatemala and had no idea how most of the people really lived.</strong></p>
<p><strong>After college he was driving with his girlfriend in a part of Guatemala where it’s not a good idea to drive at night, and it’s extremely dangerous to break down.  His car broke down, and just down the road was a small house.  They knocked on the door and woke the people up asking for help.  The entire family went out to Ricardo’s car and helped unload everything and stored it in the house.  They then offered for Ricardo and his girlfriend to spend the night, which they did.</strong></p>
<p><strong>When they got up in the morning Ricardo realized the people had given him and his girlfriend their only bed, and the family spent the night sleeping on the kitchen floor.  What touched Ricardo was that the people didn’t know who he was, they had no expectations, they simply helped out of genuine kindness.  And that was a defining moment for him.</strong></p>
<p><strong>A few years later, after becoming involved in many humanitarian projects, he saw Katie riding a horse with a little girl who was paraplegic in her arms, and singing to her as they rode.  He told me the minute he saw her he thought, “I’m going to marry her!”   And he did!  And you couldn’t meet two nicer people!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>I woke at 5 a.m. and this story was on mind to share.  It comes from “The Soul of Money” by Lynn Twist and happened early in the 1970’s when she was new to her job as a fundraiser for The Hunger Project.  I cannot begin to do this story justice (and I haven’t read it in years, but this is the concept).  If you buy the book or even take a peek at it, I believe the chapter is called “Money is Like Water.”</strong></p>
<p><strong>Lynn tells about going to Chicago and receiving $50,000 from a CEO at a large corporation that didn’t care about world hunger, they simply wanted to look better in terms of public opinion because they had recently received some bad press.  She said that when she left the office she didn’t feel good about receiving the money, but she had a plane to catch and was on her way to New York City.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Her talk that night was in Harlem.  In contrast to the gleaming high-rise from the morning, she was in a basement, water was dripping down from the ceiling into buckets placed around the room.  She had  been in such a rush she was still wearing the silk blouse she’d worn in the morning and she suddenly felt embarrassed for being so overdressed.  And when she began her talk she started to feel guilty for even asking the people in the room for any money, but realized that was why she was giving her talk about the people starving in Africa.  So at the end of her talk she asked for money, and it was dead quiet.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Then a woman stood up at the back of the room and in a loud voice she said that she believed in what The Hunger Project was doing.  And then she said that money is like water, and that like water, money is meant to flow.  She had just been paid at her job as a cleaning woman, and she wanted that money to go to the people in Africa.  She announced she was giving one hundred and fifty dollars.  (For anyone reading this who wasn&#8217;t around in the 70’s that was a lot of money, not to mention what it was like for a black woman living in Harlem.)</strong></p>
<p><strong>She walked up and handed her money to Lynn.  And then every single person got up and gave something – single dollars, fives, tens.  (I was reading the story bawling my eyes out!!)  There was so much money Lynn had to open her briefcase so people could put their money inside.  And she was instantly aware of this contrast between people giving from the heart and a corporation trying to ‘look good’ for the public.  The next day Lynn sent the $50,000 check back along with a letter to the CEO suggesting that his company donate to a charity that they truly believed in and wanted to support.<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>That blew my mind.  This was the first extremely large donation Lynn had received and she was new at her job.  But years later she heard from the CEO after he had retired.  He wrote telling her how her letter had affected him and that he’d really thought about what she said in terms of genuinely caring about what you’re giving to.  He enclosed a check from his personal account that was many times over the original $50,000.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Over the years Lynn discovered that when money was given without love, hundreds of thousands of dollars could be poured into a project, with no success.  But when the money came from the heart, a few hundred dollars would be successful.</strong></p>
<p><strong>I hope this story touches you the way it touched me!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>MY ABUNDANT FRIENDS!!!  I wanted to address anyone who&#8217;s afraid that giving will leave them with less.   If you think of money as energy, and that the essential energy of the universe is LOVE&#8230;then when you give to others you are FLOWING LOVE out into the world.  What stops people from having that experience is something that is beautifully described in a book called, &#8220;The Soul of Money&#8221; by Lynn Twist.  She calls it the &#8220;myth of scarcity.&#8221;  (It comes in 3 parts)  1. There&#8217;s not enough  2. More is Better 3. It&#8217;s just the way it is.  We were born to be creators.  So we create whatever we&#8217;re believing in.  If you&#8217;re believing in the &#8216;myth of scarcity&#8217; while giving, you&#8217;ll experience what you&#8217;re believing in.  But if you believe that Love is more powerful that the &#8216;myth of scarcity&#8217; that is what you will create&#8230;every time, without exception!  Energy flows&#8230;if you flow money (as LOVE) to others it will by nature flow abundantly back to you in the most magical ways!</strong></p>
<p>p.s.  Here&#8217;s my original post:</p>
<h3>ABUNDANCE 101! Here&#8217;s the trick! Take 10% of the money that comes to you &#8211; decide that you will not touch it &#8211; and then start hunting for people to give it to! I set money aside and just hand it out during the day. Honestly, you&#8217;ll start feeling like a Fairy Godmother&#8230;you&#8217;ll have so much fun giving it away that m&#8230;oney just pours right back in. GUARANTEED! And you&#8217;ll feel fantastic (which just attracts more abundance!) I give money to people who are begging on the streets here in Guatemala and they light up like sunshine! Amelia LOVES giving to them&#8230;and grabs my arm if I miss someone to be sure we help out.</h3>
