I like to think that I&#39;ve already begun that process. BUT, (always a &quot;but,&quot; isn&#39;t there?)there are still those to whom I would find it difficult, if not impossible, to be kind, never mind considering &quot;liking&quot; in the future. I hope that doesn&#39;t mean I can&#39;t change my mind someday. I don&#39;t want to be that close-minded.<br /><br />I was also pleasantly surprised by America&#39;s decision this past election! What other pleasant surprises might be in store for us all?!Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09608389934823832496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734570754308636217.post-32079774790177538102009-09-17T09:13:16.821-02:302009-09-17T09:13:16.821-02:30Sounds exciting!

Until now, I&#39;m still afraid to drive in the city of Manila. Crazy city. A friend ask me if I could teach health and nutrition in his culinary school but I don&#39;t know if I could. Actually, my mom didn&#39;t allow me to go to another city but my inner voice is telling me I should. My brother in law wants me to attend this workshop (a la Jack Canfield) to help me move forward in life. I am 33 years old now and felt that those fears (many fears) are just so difficult to get over with.Divina Pe, RHNhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01683569023103415187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734570754308636217.post-5365861601615124022009-08-16T11:32:53.165-02:302009-08-16T11:32:53.165-02:30I think this blog is talking to me. Yes, I do have a lot of fears and it prevents from enjoying life. And that includes my self-worth and self-esteem as I grew up with a lot of negative words until today.

If you really want to get worked up take a look at the pharma companies, simply amazing!Justinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07989709619285520671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734570754308636217.post-83599275138115937492009-05-25T11:01:21.700-02:302009-05-25T11:01:21.700-02:30Hey Allison, I love what you've created here and I can't wait to go through it all to learn more about you and me!Justinhttp://journeysineternity.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734570754308636217.post-73169071831030663422009-04-28T12:28:00.000-02:302009-04-28T12:28:00.000-02:30well done alison! looking forward to seeing u progress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734570754308636217.post-57279899604593465202008-12-30T12:42:00.000-03:302008-12-30T12:42:00.000-03:30Hey Alison!<BR/>I'm with you.In an effort to try to find my "true purpose", as all the new-age seekers and Oprah-watchers would call it, I stumbled upon a truth I had been ignoring all along. <BR/><BR/> In an effort to make a living as an artist and entrepreneur I have been working as a gigging musician, painting watercolours and selling them to whoever was interested, writing blogs, dealing real estate, substitute teaching, private music teaching...you name it.<BR/><BR/>But one day in a moment of unusual clarity it struck me. Remove the urgency to "make a living" and it was obvious. That I have been living "on purpose" all along.<BR/><BR/>I have a lovely wife, a nice-enough home for which I am grateful and a family which doesn't always get it but supports me nontheless. I am immersed in love and gratitude and all the while I create. I compose. I write. I paint. I teach. Each day I bring something into the world that did not exist the day before and would not exist without me.<BR/><BR/>My purpose on this earth is to love and create and I can't wait to get out of bed every morning to do so.<BR/><BR/>Lovely to see you again at Poistive Thinkers. Hopefully see you again there soon.<BR/><BR/>Have an amazing, bountiful, love-filled, creation-juiced 2009. I know I will.<BR/>Love,<BR/>Gary JohnstonGary Johnstonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07928861757460245871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734570754308636217.post-58143835522466460462008-10-13T00:51:00.000-02:302008-10-13T00:51:00.000-02:30I love thinking about emotions. Sometimes those tender things that happen - like illness, surgeries, etc. can really make our feelings awaken -- and give us a time to examine our hearts. It's times like that that help me remember how important it is to connect with others -- and to leave a legacy.....etc.<BR/><BR/>My first baby passed away when he was almost a year old. I went through five years of very intense grief and anguish. It was several years after that when I read an article written by a nurse specializing in grief counseling. She talked about the cycles of grief. I never knew anything about emotions before, and it was so healing to know what I was feeling, and why.<BR/><BR/>Now my husband and I teach classes on the subject of understanding emotions. I really believe that it is the most important thing we can do. Our emotions involve a feeling and a thought -- and when we understand what those are, our actions change, our abilities change, our lives change. It's been an amazing journey.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your feelings. We have a blog where we talk about those kinds of feelings, and it's been fun to connect to others and see that we're all very similar in how we feel about things. You're welcome to check that out!<BR/><BR/>Janet Summit<BR/>www.peacethroughprinciples.comJanet Summitwww.peacethroughprinciples.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734570754308636217.post-42849365525066097932008-07-24T00:23:00.000-02:302008-07-24T00:23:00.000-02:30Alison, I was just reading through your post, and it surely struck a nerve for me. You were able to put into words what I have been feeling for so long. Actually, this week I had said "yes" to something that certainly should have been a "no", and, as you indicate, the cycle of self-destruction began. And, for me, guilt and low self esteem as well!<BR/><BR/>I absolutely LOVE your explanation about how we teach them that their time, energy, talent, peace of mind etc., is more important than ours. Had never looked at it this way before. It has almost become a way of life for me ..... saying "yes" to whatever (when I really mean "no"), and then beating myself up for days and weeks afterwards! My ego has been having a field day for a very long time! I now have a flicker of hope that I may be able to actually say "no". What possibilities it would open up!<BR/>Thank you so much Alison for letting me see that change may be possible!<BR/>Judy-AnnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734570754308636217.post-43254915341752895672008-05-21T10:18:00.000-02:302008-05-21T10:18:00.000-02:30Hi Allison, just surfed over to your blog and read that you attended "I Can Do It" in Toronto. I'm going to Vegas on June 26th for the same.... can't wait! Would love to chat more with you about your experiences at the conference.

We maintain it in a community of people who are also transformed. Living a transformed life is a lot different from being transformed - most of the time I am not there either - listening to the voice in my head as truth - not so today - i reached out a wrote a touched some friends with acknowledgement.
