Beautiful Gaia people!
Two gems this week. The first is a reminder about our
book raffle—you've still got a few days to toss your name in for one of the
three free books in our giveaway. Just drop me a note letting me know which you'd like and why (or post it in the comments
here!) and we'll let you know on Friday who the winners are. (And yes, I'll personalize with a little gift-inscription. :)
We've also got another book-related announcement from our lovely sponsor, Dr. Judith Orloff, whose latest bestseller, Emotional Freedom, just came out. The book is a treat (rich and informative and wonderfully well-researched) and her techniques, which use emotions as a path to spiritual awakening, are practical and enlightening. (A few of you have discovered this already—I've seen a few postings in our Groups about her work.)
I finished Emotional Freedom this past weekend, but this one I'm saving for reference. ;) For me, the best parts were on how to stop absorbing the emotions of others, and learning that the best way to handle 'emotional vampires' is with compassion. (And her words on the spiritual meaning of depression were so sweetly accepting. It's rare to find someone who so deeply understands the value of certain sorrows.)
Her announcement? Judith has partnered with Dr. Christiane Northrup, Dr. Bruce Lipton, Dr. Michael Beckwith, Neale Donald Walsch, and many others, to offer new readers an abundance of
downloadable talks, teleseminars, and free coaching sessions. She's extending them to anyone who
buys the book here. (Though you can also find it at
Amazon.com.) And, if you're in Los Angeles on April 8th at 7PM, she'll be talking and signing copies at the Agape Center for Truth. (More information about this event and Judith's national book tour schedule is on
www.drjudithorloff.com)

So thank you, Judith, for your work in the world, and thank you, lovely writers who
offered your books, and thank
you, wonderful people of Gaia, for your energy and warmth and heart, and your own perfect roles in the world.
