Yes, I had a “calling.”  The small voice inside was getting louder and louder.  This book helped me to recognize and handle my resistance to the calling by guiding me through deep questioning and awareness.  Here is a part of his book that I underlined: “You must know that you mean business, that you’re going to jump into it up to your eye sockets and not turn back at the last minute.  In making the leap from vision to form, you will be tested and suffer setbacks, occasionally sever.  At our first steps toward authenticity – or any high calling – every devil in hell will come out to meet us.  Only when you try your vision in the world can you test whether it’s true.” 

Carol Adrienne talks about using intuition, intention, synchronicities and placing yourself in places and amongst like-minded people to guide you toward the purpose of your life.  She asks, “Passions -- we have them and if you think you don’t have them, look again.  What do you do that you enjoy so much you lose track of time?  What kind of work would you call “too good to be true?  What would you do even if you would not get paid for it?  Within these activities are the seeds of our passion.  This book is a wonderful tool for guiding you toward your divine true gifts.

This book was gift from a dear friend.  It’s really a wonderful workbook with a meditation at the end of each exercise to help manifest your desires.  When I opened this book today, I found some of the statements I had written back in 1999 in regard to what I really, really wanted for myself.  They have all come true.

I first fell in love with Martha Beck when I read her monthly columns in the Oprah magazine, O.  She’s a funny, witty, smart, wise woman.  She’s totally honest and forthcoming about herself which has a magical affect on your honesty.  Lots of really cool exercises and stories about real people who found their own North Star.

If you haven’t read any of Robert Kiyosaki’s books, well . . . get on it!  This was one of the books on the reading list of my Women’s Prosperity Circle last year.  This is the kind of book you buy and give each of your kids and buy extra copies, on the chance you have grandchildren and this should be your gift, as soon as the child reaches 8 or 9.  I wish I would have read this book 30 years ago.
