Adrienne's work and teachings have been a great
inspiration to me! In August of 1998, about four months after my
father passed away, I read about one of Carol's
workshops in a Learning Annex catalog and
synchronistically found her book on a bookshelf at the
bookstore. The themes of her teachings were
familiar and comforting, as they confirmed the thoughts
and ideas my father had shared with me shortly before
his passing. Her books and workshops ignited my
spiritual curiosity, setting me on my soulful life path,
which led to the very creation of
SoulfulLiving.com! Carol's participation has been
an integral part of SoulfulLiving.com, at its soul
level! Thank you, Carol, with all my heart!

There is a Reason
My article on how Cindy Harris is following her passion by
developing her tea business stimulated many of you to write,
so I am sharing this conversation with all of you this month. Click
here to read Cindy's tea story.
Jessica, writes “About two months ago, I made a decision
to move back to my hometown of Rochester, New York, from New
York City. I had been living in New York for the past ten
years, trying to make it to Broadway as an actress. For a long
time I was depressed and felt ready to give up on my career.
Something in me kept nagging and telling me that there is
something waiting for me at home. So, I moved back!
Getting Back into Flow
To make a long story short, ever since coming back I have
been meeting and networking with the most helpful people. I
just had lunch with a friend who knows about playwriting
grants. It just so happens that now is the time to
apply, so we are putting in an application. So many good
things are starting to happen. For example, I got a great new
job working at a community center. I am going out with friends
more often. I am meeting actors and dance professionals and
other people with my interests. I realize that I feel safer
practicing my art here in a smaller city. New York seems like
the logical place to be for any serious artist, but the truth
is that I have never really been comfortable there. I am a
small town girl at heart. I feel very optimistic about my
career now, and I know that I need to trust my instincts and
follow my intuition. I know there is a reason I moved here.”
Don’t Give Up
Tina writes, “I am inspired by Cindy's story, Come For
Tea, and it came just at the perfect time. Four months ago, as
I stood once again in my kitchen making homemade baby food
from fresh fruits and vegetables, my husband reached his arms
around my waist and thanked me for spending so much time to
ensure
that our first and only child had the healthiest food
available. Physically tired and mentally drained from a full
day’s work at my paying job and months of the same routine,
I responded, ‘I 'd do it for ten more babies if I had that
many.’ Immediately, even through my exhaustion, the thought
popped into my mind, I CAN make it for other babies. They
don't have to be my own! Babies deserve better and not all
parents have the time to make their own organic food. I set
out to educate myself about starting a food business, using
every spare moment that I wasn't working on my paying job or
spending quality time with my family to do research. My
husband supported me but was skeptical regarding the FDA
regulations, etc. and how difficult it would be to have a
successful business with Gerber on grocer's shelves all around
the country. I persisted for months, but got so tired and
burned out, I was beginning to get discouraged.
“At lunch today, I decided to just read a good book
instead of packing in more knowledge about the food industry.
At the same time, I felt as if I were giving up on my idea,
and almost put the book down. But I didn't. The book was The
Celestine Prophecy which I had read years before. But
several friends and acquaintances had mentioned it recently,
and so I took those hints as what is meant to be. As I was
reading, I had the urge to look at the back cover where I read
about James Redfield and The Celestine Journal. I found the
site on the Internet and read the inspiring story about Cindy
Harris and her tea company. When I read the paragraph titled, Feed
your Passion, which says, ‘if you have a business idea
rooted in something you care about--go for it.’ I began to
cry because I believe that it was once again synchronicity. It
is giving me my second wind to continue and not give up. I can
get back on track, and appreciate the obstacles. I can do it
if I follow my heart.”
Messages Abound
I thought you might also like this great license plate
story from my good friend, Cori Kenicer, who recently moved to
Arizona. She says, “I registered my car in 2002 as a new
Arizona resident and was assigned a random license plate
number. In January 2004 I started Kenicer Golf Marketing, LLC,
which for short I refer to as KGM. Later, I had to write down
the license plate number to register for a parking place and
when I went to look at it, I realized the letters were KGM.
Hmmm. Then in March 2004 I signed my first contract for the
new business, actually on March 17 (3/17). I happened to look
at the license plate again. The full license plate number is
317 KGM.”
Enjoy the beginning of Fall…
