Live an Enchanted Life

Autumn is is a time to reflect on the changes, to remember that we, too, grow and change from one season of life to another. As I reflect during this Fall, I think of all the miracles that have occurred during this last year. Two beloved friends entered my life and opened my heart like it was new again (one for a season and one for a lifetime!) My heart feels love and gratitude for all my friends, clients and, especially ~ my Faith. Remember the true meaning of Love. Try to let go of how you think things should be. Don't drive down a one way road the wrong way but discard the need to control having to go down a certain path. Surrender. Trust. Allow. Everything always works out if you let it. ACCEPT people for who they are. And, don't resist what life offers you. Relish in the Sweetness of ordinary moments. Kindness from strangers, fresh air, clean sheets, warm showers, good food and gorgeous days full of sunshine. Remember, to say "Thank YOU".

As we experience the beauty of autumn changing into winter, let us acknowledge the many blessings of all the people in our lives and those we had to say goodbye to. Let us celebrate the cycle of life and know we are better for every transition. Let us appreciate that we are alive, right now.

As Most of you know, I believe in Miracles. I believe in Fairies. And, I most of all, believe in Angels. This week's workshop on Angel's and Guides was the most successful turnout of my Living, Loving, & Learning workshop series that I have ever had in the past 5 years. Most especially, the guest presenter, Isabelle Otero was one of the most powerful presenters that we have ever experienced. She is truly an Angel. I send out a big THANKYOU for everyone who attended and made the evening divine! I look forward to another meeting with the Angel's and Isabelle around Christmas. Until then, please come join us this season to celebrate and rejoice in your hobbies, passions and new possibilities. We will inspire you to LOVE the life you are living.

I am very excited to announce our first annual Holiday dinner party, "Let's EAT and Let's Connect" that I am collaborating with Bernadette Armiento on Friday, November 20 at Bernadette's lovely home in West Orange. This special evening is open to all ~ it will be a night to rejoice in our friendships, make new connections and learn how to eat healthy.

I passionately love co-creating workshops every Wednesday night and am always looking to hire speakers to launch new programs - please contact me if you would like to collaborate with me. I am presently organizing a symposium in March, 2010 with a panel of speakers who are Daughters who have lost their Mothers - Please keep in touch for the details.

Feel free to connect with me on Facebook.com/SueWaldman. I also created a new Meet up where there are weekly specials if you are a member. Visit http://www.meetup.com/Women-Networking-Wellness/calendar/.

Wishing you Happiness and most of all ~ Love,

Sue

The workshop will introduce the study of dreams, using methods to explore dreams safely and enjoyably.

So much of who we are gets served up to us or thrust upon us in our dreams during sleep. What are these images, why did they come up and what relevance do they have to our everyday lives? These and questions like these will be the focus of our work during our workshop on dreams. If you have dreams you remember or have written down from the past or if you would like to set a writing pad next to your bed to write down some dreams as you wake we would welcome these into our work. The first part of the workshop will be about the study of dreams and theory development. The other part will be our actual work with some of the dream material we bring in to explore its meaning and relevance.
