			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These are YOUR voyages on this blue marble we call Earth.</p>
<p>This Summer <a href="http://lizmittenryan.com" target="_blank">Liz Mitten Ryan</a> has some very special Retreats available to you, and I wanted to share this video with you.</p>
<p>I’ve had the honour of interviewing Liz twice on <a href="http://welcomechangesradio.com" target="_blank">Welcome Changes Radio</a>, as well as reading her books and watching the DVD series.&#160; </p>
<p>Her Retreat is on my vision board, and while I have almost made it there, twice, divine timing has not arrived yet.</p>
<p>Is it your time?</p>
<p>Watch the video.&#160; If it resonates for you, contact Liz through <a href="http://equinisity.com">http://equinisity.com</a> and register.&#160; Please let her know who sent you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How do you know what is true?&#160; How do you know what is false?</p>
<p>How do you feel?&#160; That’s your truth speaking.</p>
<p>You know the difference.&#160; Do you listen?</p>
<blockquote><p>“There are two ends to the spectrum.&#160; Fear is one end and it is false.&#160; Love is at the other end and it is all that is true.” ~ Premiere Edition (Prima) through <a href="http://lizmittenryan.com" target="_blank">Liz Mitten Ryan</a>&#160;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Do you feel fearful, or at peace?</p>
<p>Some will argue that fear keeps you safe.&#160; Often, when our safety is in jeopardy, the decision to take us to safety is a quick and a peaceful one.&#160; It’s never, “the house is one fire. Should I stay or leave?”&#160; It’s a clean decision.</p>
<p>False Fear is not a clear and clean decision.&#160; False fear is usually filled with shoulds and negative what if’s.&#160; </p>
<p>Truth is filled with love and peace.</p>
<p>If you get a false fear, what do you do?&#160; </p>
<p>You don’t always see the truth right away.&#160; That’s okay!&#160; Simply know that the false fear is a sign post that this is not the correct direction.</p>
<p>From that place you can begin to ask questions, and as you open up and turn away from the false fears, the truth will show itself.</p>
<p><strong><font size="3"><em>JOY Challenge:</em></font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="3"><em>I choose to take action from a place of love, not fear today.</em></font></strong></p>
<p>Suggestion:&#160; A <a href="http://joy-journal.com" target="_blank">JOY Journal</a> is a great place to ask those questions that come up when you don’t choose fear.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We know the choices we have.&#160; It seems so simple.&#160; And yet we often choose that which does not serve us.&#160; We make up reasons why we don’t or cannot.</p>
<p>We judge ourselves.&#160; We judge others.&#160; It is simple.&#160; Why do we not do it?</p>
<blockquote><p>“You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.&#160; You can lead a man to pasture, but you can’t make him eat.” ~ Premiere Edition (Prima) through <a href="http://lizmittenryan.com" target="_blank">Liz Mitten Ryan</a></p>
</blockquote>
<p>It is simple, and yet we make it hard.&#160; We think too much.&#160; We make stuff up.&#160; We justify, and then we judge ourselves too.</p>
<p>What would it be like if we didn’t think?&#160; What would it be like if we acted through instinct?&#160; Is it possible we’d be happier?&#160; Would we be more at peace?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some people say “I am just one person” when they think of creating change.&#160; It seems like a daunting task.&#160; What kind of effect could <em>I</em> have on the world?&#160; The truth is, each <em>I</em> does have an effect on the world.</p>
<blockquote><p>“In one instant you can change the world.&#160; If man were to change his mind; one mind at a time, a chain reaction (like nuclear fission) would occur.&#160; Human minds like ours, are all joined.&#160; It is a belief in isolation that creates the limits.&#160; Simply let them go and a far greater world is yours, ours, and in the communion of spirit as it has always been.” ~ Premiere Edition (Prima) through <a href="http://lizmittenryan.com" target="_blank">Liz Mitten Ryan</a></p>
</blockquote>
<p>The beauty of this is that it can take some of the pressure off.&#160; It’s not your responsibility to change everyone’s mind.&#160; It’s not your responsibility to make anyone else do anything.&#160; You’re only responsible for changing your own mind, your own way of BEing in this world.</p>
<p><strong><font size="3"><em>JOY Challenge:</em></font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="3"><em>What is one thing I can be, do or have differently that will contribute to the peace, love and joy of the planet?</em></font></strong></p>
<p>Suggestions:&#160; It can be as simple as recycling or composting.&#160; It can be volunteering, contributing to a food bank, or even meditating on world peace.&#160; It doesn’t matter what you choose.&#160; It all makes a difference.</p>

<blockquote><p>“We are all one, Human, Plant, Animal, Rock. – Every single little quark is united in the same cosmic soup.&#160; There are spaces but no boundaries.&#160; Boundaries are only thoughts.” ~ Premiere Edition (Prima) through <a href="http://lizmittenryan.com" target="_blank">Liz Mitten Ryan</a> </p>
</blockquote>
<p>Are these limiting thoughts serving you?&#160; Are they moving you closer to your dreams and intentions?&#160; Or are they the limits that keep you “safe”?&#160; What are they keeping you safe from?&#160; Success?&#160; Failure?&#160; </p>
<p>What would happen if you succeeded?&#160; What would happen if you didn’t succeed?&#160; (Remember, you only fail if you stop.)</p>
<p>What if this limit is simply a small stone in the road that you’re bumping your toe up against?</p>
<p>What if you were lift your thoughts (foot) a little bit higher to step over the limit (stone)?</p>
