Teach Me how to become a Giver of Love
Posted by Intuition Girl
Giving and receiving love are two of the most beautiful feelings on Earth. When you are the receiver of love, you experience the joy and passion that is not only revitalizing, but it is equally intoxicating. Once you receive it, you want more and more of it. To receive love, however, you must become the giver of love. The giver of love is one who gives it unconditionally without strings attached.
This means that you must also learn how to forgive. You can only truly become a giver of love once you learn how to forgive others as well. That is sometimes easier said than done. After all, many of us carry around a lot of emotional baggage from past hurts and haunts because we believe it is too difficult to let all that sorrow and anger go. We would rather hold onto it because it emboldens us whenever we are angered. It makes us feel powerful when we get mad, upset or want to rehash old feelings. Then when we are feeling sorry for ourselves, and dumped upon, we dig up and recycle all those negative emotions and relive the sorrow and pain as we fall back into our rabbit hole. Sound familiar?
Let me teach you how to become a giver of love. You, too, can become an individual freed from the chains of your emotions. You have the innate ability to give and receive love without condition. No more resorting to old and negative feelings because now you are ready to move forward without the attachment of the old abusive feelings from your past. Just knowing that can remove those unwanted emotions and grief is already a freeing feeling, isn’t it?
The truth is, in order to be able to give love, you must truly feel safe inside of you and become comfortable being vulnerable. This is truly not an overnight process but rather one that may take you a while to achieve, yet it is truly worth the journey. All of this is an inside job and has nothing to do with another person. What you need to do in order to feel safe inside of you is to connect and love all the pieces in you that you feel are wounded. You also have to learn to trust yourself and realize you are the driving force in your life. Do you trust that you can put yourself in good, positive situations that serve you? This is something very important to look at and heal for you.
Allow me to assist you in your path to learning how to forgive and to become a giver of love. Once you have the keys to unlocking the chains that bind you, you will be able to finally rediscover the joy and love that has been missing from your life. And that, my friends, is the first step to leading a joy-filled life. Let’s connect!
I am here to help you learn to love yourself unconditionally.
Until we speak again, I am

Filling the Cornucopia of your Life
Posted by Intuition Girl
In my life, Thanksgiving brings a sense of renewed hope, love and reflection. I take this time to honor the people and events in my life, which have given me the inspiration, motivation and support to be who I am.
Do you see the beauty and bounty in this simple yet nourishing horn of plenty? I do. When I look at the cornucopia filled with an array of fruits, flowers and nuts, I appreciate the wonder and miracle of Nature’s harvest. Moreover, the cornucopia is the promise of blessings to come; and if you put just a little motivation behind your short-term goals, you will eventually achieve your long-term aspirations.
How plentiful is your cornucopia? If you are so fortunate to have family and friends to share your turkey-day feast, consider yourself very lucky. But before the main event… before you chow-down on delicious pumpkin pie, sultry turkey and egg nog – I want you to reflect on all the gifts in your life. Really take a few minutes to think about all the things that have gone right in your life. There must be something or someone that has been a blessing to you. Whether it is a close friend, who is always there to lend a hand – a warm home to call your own – the pet that never leaves your side, or the job that has paved the way for all the material things you own, now is the time to give thanks for all those things you often take for granted.
But I am struggling, Joan Marie – how can you expect me to be thankful when I have nothing to be thankful for, you say? There is always a positive flame burning for you if you only seek it. Inside each and every one of you is an abundance of wisdom that you can use to step into affluence – affluence of health, wealth and joy. You only need to make the choice to pursue happiness and prosperity. Once you do, you are well on the way to filling your metaphorical cornucopia. Remember, your horn of plenty can only become plentiful once you begin adding to it. If you continue to see a barren placeholder for the things that you want out of life, it will continue to remain empty. Start seeing the beauty and wholeness of who you are and the blessings will begin to flow.
Until we speak again, I am

Are your emotions running your life?
Posted by Intuition Girl
What brings you joy? Imagine if everyday you focused for a few minutes on remembering a “joyful moment”. What do you think this would do for you? How do you think you would start to feel if you kept this up on a continual basis? This one simple tool alone will help you out of a great deal of stress and anxiety and of course it will definitely help keep you in balance.
What brings me great joy is when clients share with me how happy they are working with me. It is such a gift for me to hear from someone that I have helped them make major shifts in their life in less than 5 weeks. But when I encounter anxious moments, I close my eyes and see with my heart.
I was speaking with a dear friend recently and we were talking about how much “courage” it takes to clean your emotional house. I certainly agree. It is not easy to see and then release your past experiences; however, the freedom that you will gain is priceless.
As we are preparing for 2010 some of us are getting ready in a conscious deliberate way while others are just going along in life and accepting what comes our way as if we are dragging a heavy weight on our shoulders. We must make a decision– what are you doing to prepare for your life today and in the future? Remember we have free will!
Living your present moments in a joy-filled experience will heal you and I might add is one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself. As this year is beginning to come to an end and a new decade is dawning, I hope you will take control of your emotions and choose the feelings that you want to experience.
Please read on to my two new questions this week from my readers, Heather and Samantha.
Many Blessings,

Bringing joy in these difficult times
Posted by Intuition Girl
Dear Joan Marie:
I love your newsletter and the messages you share. I was wondering if there was something that we all could do during these difficult times to bring joy to someone else
I hope you think this question worthy to be answered
Pia Jenkins, Florida
Answer
Dear Pia:
I would like to share with you a beautiful story which I hope will answer your question and give some food for thought to all those who read this newsletter.
There’s a story someone once told about a lonely and impoverished woman, who had given up all hope. She had lost her will to take care of herself, her home and even reason to awaken in the mornings. One day, a traveling flower salesman arrived at her now-decrepit home. After knocking several times, the woman finally came to the door and cracked it ajar. Peering back through the crack, the salesman could see the robed woman with uncombed hair. With a big smile, he asked her, “Would you like to buy some flowers?” The woman sternly replied, “I do not have any money for flowers; please go away.”
The salesman, being a kind and gentle soul responded, “That’s okay,” he reached down in his backpack of flowers, and retrieved one long-stemmed, red-velvet rose. Handing it to her, he said, “Here, you may have this rose.”
The woman brushed her bangs from her eyes and straightened her robe. Hesitantly, she opened her door a little more and said, “But I don’t have any money.”
“That’s okay,” said the kind salesman, “you may have this rose for free.”
Standing a little taller now, the woman took the rose from the man. Thanking him for his kindness, the salesman made his way down the road. The woman watched as the man vanished into the distance, and she closed the door behind her.
Now, peering at the rose, she could not believe the rich and vibrant red of its petals. “This is the loveliest rose I have ever seen,” she said aloud to herself. Then she glanced around her messy kitchen to locate a glass vase. Seeing one beneath the pile of dirtied dishes in the sink, she gently laid the rose atop an empty space on the counter and began washing the dishes and the vase until the entire sink was clear. The woman then took the rose and placed its long stem inside the vase and filled it with water. As she turned behind, she saw that her entire kitchen table was cluttered with papers, trash and other what-knots. “This simply will not do,” she said. She quickly began clearing the mess and putting all the trash in the waste bin. Wiping the table from all of its dust, she retrieved a checkered tablecloth from her linen closet. But when she placed the tablecloth on the table, it was wrinkled and didn’t look very appealing. The woman then ironed the cloth and draped it over her table, “Now, that’s better,” she said, standing back to get a second look. The woman walked to her countertop and retrieved the rose. She carefully placed the vase in the center of her kitchen table. It was absolutely beautiful.
As she admired the rose, she caught a glimpse of her disheveled appearance in the hall mirror. She immediately cleaned herself up, brushed her hair and put on a nice summer outfit. She felt more alive than she had ever felt in a very long time.
The moral of this story is that everywhere you go, you should attempt to be that rose. When you become the rose in your life, and in the lives of others, amazing and positive things happen all around you. Suddenly, your life is more fulfilled; your heart is lighter; and happiness is what you make it. Be a rose – and the world will become your garden.
