April 2007


For years, copying other people, I tried to know myself.
From within, I couldn’t decide what to do.
Unable to see, I heard my name being called.
Then I walked outside.
- Rumi

I am always amazed at how the longer days of Spring immediately shed new light upon all aspects of my life. It's as though the secrets that the winter spent unearthing have suddenly sprung to the surface...and I am left in wonder of the next inevitable rebirth in my personal and professional life.

For a very long time, I have invested my talents in mediums created by others. These disciplines, and their respective mentors, have taught me countless lessons for which I am endlessly grateful. And now comes the time for me to create a vehicle of my own. I have been a fitness teacher, a wellness educator, and a performer. Yet in my heart of hearts, I am a spiritual guide.

I have long dreamed of writing and leading seminars worldwide, guiding people into closer relationship with themselves and their inner calling. As The Secret has recently revealed, we all want to feel good and manifest our desires, yes. However, the essential piece that gives it all meaning is our relationship to a divine source. I want to help cultivate that...in me and in you.

So often I invite you all to SHiNE...and to live your life in fearless surrender to that which moves you. And it is time that I walk my talk with greater fervor. I am realizing that fear is no excuse for inertia. Movement must happen.

Stay tuned in the coming months as I move towards my calling...and walk alongside me. Together we can know what it is to live an inspired life...on an inspired planet. This I know for sure.

Walking Outside,

theMessenger April 2007 - Book of The Month
Dare To Be Yourself, by Alan Cohen

A fabulous and inspirational read, this book is a must have on your bedside table. A three-page journey will take you further than you might imagine, as Cohen offers you anecdotes from all walks of life to help bring out the SHiNE in you. I especially love the fusion of spiritual traditions that he offers.

From the back cover:
In this powerful map to self-discovery, Alan Cohen draws on sources from Buddhism to the Bible, from Gandhi and Einstein to A Course in Miracles, sharing many of his own radiant moments of revelation on the spiritual path. He shows how we can let go of the past, overcome fear, and discover the power of love in our lives... Dare to Be Yourself will dramatically enlighten, empower, and enliven you as you awaken to life and love and the unique gifts that are yours to give the world.
