wish to share with us, please do contact us.
Many of your communications reflect concern
about money and career. Prosperity
includes being prosperous in your love life, friendships, career,
spiritual growth as well as money. It is a time of uncertainty for
many people and more people are creating jobs and careers of their
own.
The
‘Affirm and Learn Enhancement Program,’ an Anti-violence
program for children is going into its second year in Kendal
School in Washington. Ms. Marjie Nistad will be teaching it to her
new Grade 3 Class. The results from the previous class were
fantastic, better than we ever imagined. Check out our site:

Up Coming Events:
Intuition and Reflections
Janice is now taking reservations for the September class.
It will begin in early September
On Monday nights 7-9pm in North Vancouver.
The class is about learning to trust your intuition more and to
understand your life more through the use of reflections. Trusting
our intuition assists us in our day to day lives in making
decisions. It helps us to know when we are going in the right
direction for ourselves. I have been spending more time this last
class in helping to understand one's reflections. I find that this
is a very good way to help my students make the changes they want
to in their lives. If you want less stress in your life and
more joy, then this is the class for you.
Janice believes learning should be fun, so prepare to laugh.
If you want to have more joy, call Janice at (604) 986-0259.
Don't be disappointed, call now as the class is filling rapidly.

Letters
to the Publisher:
See Author Information:
Dear
Anne Marie:
I
got rather panicky when I was not able to download your August
Passport. I was worried that you were not printing it anymore. I
e-mailed you and thank you for your reply that the August Passport
is just late, not cancelled!
This is a
very important service and there are those of us who look forward
with great expectation and rely on it. Please don't stop!
Olga
from Switzerland
Dear
Olga:
My
apologies as I said in my e-mail. I do take responsibility. In the
future I will endeavor to do my best to get my information to
Janice before the first of the month so she and David can do their
magic in getting it out there. Thank you Olga.
Love Anne Marie
Dear
Anne Marie:
I
saw your TV/Internet Show Anne Marie & Friends for this month.
I was very impressed with your topic and your guest. I know that
when things are not going well for me, I also have a difficult
time saying everything is perfect. Now I know that it IS perfect
for me at the time! Thank you for the enlightenment and keep up
your feeding the soul work!
Samatha,
Homer, Alaska
Dear
Samatha:
Thank you for your letter. Yes, I also have difficulty declaring
and decreeing that everything is perfect, when the whole world
seems to be tumbling down around me. However, when I look back at
these situations, I really have to agree that there was a great
lesson in that seemingly negative situation and really that
everything was perfect for me at that time.
Janice
Smith my Editor of this Newsletter and I have had many
discussions about this very subject. Now I can see and am able to
accept and say that statement with meaning, "Everything is
perfect for me at this time." Try it Samatha and enjoy the
feeling of freedom and peace that you get from this simple
statement. You are in my
affirmations.
Anne Marie
Dear
Anne Marie:
I cannot
seem to budget my money, I am always living from payday to
payday and even existing on payday loans. I am tired of it and at
times I feel disappointed when I wake up and find that I am
actually still alive! I am so tired of being broke, worried about
bills and stressed. Do you have any positive capsules of wisdom
for me? Joanne, Portland, Oregon
Dear
Joanne:
Many
people feel overwhelmed by expenses; bills and struggling to
stretch paychecks monies received and pension checks. Your letter
is one of many that I receive on a regular basis. I would question
if you may be harboring some thoughts, ideas, beliefs of lack and
poverty from your childhood. If you are, the good news is that you
can get rid of them. Read my story in this issue on Money
in Dandelions.
Say every
morning and evening, "I, Joanne now forgive everyone and
everything that has ever hurt me. I forgive myself and am
forgiven. I forgive past circumstances, my parents and others for
speaking of lack and poverty when I was a child.
I
deserve and now am wealthy. I balance my checkbook and
pay all my bills and have money left over to socialize and to do
what I choose. I am happy, fulfilled and peaceful to the good of
all parties concerned. Thank you, Thank you, Thank
you."
Learn
to budget your income and stick to it. Use the common sense
approach. Do not buy for the sake of buying. Be realistic and do
not expect your paycheck to S-t-r-e-t-c-h. Make a list of your
priorities. Then enjoy life! You are in my thoughts. Love Anne
Marie.

Money in
Dandelions:
Anne Marie Evers, Affirmations Coach
When I was a
child we were very poor and many times our meals consisted of dry,
stale bread, dandelion soup, dandelion salad and dandelion stew. I
grew to hate dandelions. I could never really understand why. but
when I saw a dandelion I would become angry and anxious. I had an
overpowering urge to pull it out of the ground and stomp the life
out of it. After I became aware of my great hate for
dandelions, I started to question why. Going back and reflecting
on my childhood and speaking with family members, I learned that
dandelions were the main stay or our diet. Also I learned that
dandelions had some very important nutrients.
Now
that I was aware of why I felt like that, what could I do about
the situation? One day I picked up a dandelion and looked at it
from all angles. I was very surprised to discover how beautifully
formed it was and marveled at the bright yellow color. I
always loved yellow as it reminds me of the sun. As I held the
lonely dandelion in my hand, I allowed any anger and bitterness
from the past regarding dandelions to surface. I acknowledged my
feelings. I actually felt the pain of being hungry, and then I
forgave it and released it into the Universe to be recycled. Then
I allowed positive thankful energy to flood throughout my
body and from me to the dandelion. I thanked it and all its parents,
grandparents and great-grandparents for providing nourishment for
my family members and I over the years. Again I expressed thanks
for the dandelion family keeping us alive.
As
I looked at the dandelion it seemed to change before my
very eyes. It sighed a deep sigh of relief and actually smiled at
me! Imagine, me speaking with my archenemy, the dandelion and it
communicating with me! Wow! I felt such a sense of relief
wash over me and real thankfulness welled up within me. As I
repeated over and over "Thank you, thank you, thank
you," I saw $100 bills floating in the air above my head. As
I continued being in a thankful mode they actually landed on me. I
was so excited. Financially things changed for me for the better
from that moment several years ago
I
now love and appreciate dandelions. I marvel at their
exquisiteness. I stopped pulling them out of the ground with
vengeance and stomping the life out of them. Instead every time I
see a dandelion, I whisper a prayer of thankfulness. There is
no more spray of round up or weed killer in my yard and most
of all I discovered the true beauty of a single dandelion. Was
this anger, bitterness, and hate keeping me from enjoying the
abundance I so richly desired and deserved?
I
truly think so. I have experienced prosperity in every sense of my
life since that day several years ago. Do you have a dandelion in
your life that is keeping you from your prosperity? If so, face
it, search it out, acknowledge it, forgive it and then let it go
with love.
Please
send me your stories of why you think you are not enjoying the
prosperity you are entitled to.

Change:
Janice Smith
Self Empowerment Coach
Things are changing rapidly at the moment. Change is definitely
in the air. Be prepared for the unexpected. All is well even if it
doesn't seem to be. Be patient with self. You do know what you're
doing even if your conscious brain can't grasp it. All will turn
out for the better. Do not doubt the process. Love is guiding this
change. Enjoy yourself as much as possible as you move through
this shift. Remember everything has a purpose even if you can't
see it at the moment. Do not monitor your response to things, you
will only confuse yourself.
We are being driven to change at this time. In moving from a
negative base to a love base, there are many transitions we need
to make. Take time to really listen to your self talk. Is it
positive and hopeful or negative and downtrodden? When you really
pay attention to it you will be amazed at how negative our
thinking is each and everyday. It is extremely important to
practice positiveness and hopefulness. This can be difficult when
one is feeling down. But it is essential to keep practicing it as
best you can. Keep working at it even when you want to give up
because it feels like nothing is happening. You may be getting
close to the shift and wouldn't want to give up just before it
happens. Remember it only takes a moment for change to happen. One
minute things can seem bleak and the next minute absolutely
wonderful. Stay focused on the positive as much as possible. Open
your heart to love. Allow it to shine through you. Enjoy the rest of your summer. May beauty and grace be yours.
God Bless you
May you live in magic
Hugs,
Janice

Reflections:
Janice Smith
Hi Janice;
I am at odds with my boyfriend, I ask him to call me, so I know
what's up and can plan my day when I know what he is doing. He
thinks that I am keeping tabs on him and don't trust him. It is
the same when he is late, I expect a phone call, I think that is
only courteous, but he thinks I am checking up on him. What am I
to see with this.
Rena
Dear Rena;
Somehow Rena, you are not happy with the way you are doing things.
Are you being too structured with self, or not leaving enough time
to accomplish what you want to. I agree, it is courteous to let
someone know if you are going to be late. But his resistance to it
tells me that you are somehow resisting structure at the moment.
Check to see if you are giving yourself enough spontaneous time or
do you have your whole life scheduled?
Hugs,
Janice

deserve and now am happy and fulfilled. I realize that what I have
been searching for is within me I also know that I am the creator
of my thoughts and as such I have control over how I react and
view situations and people in my life. I am also aware that
no other person can get into my mind and think my thoughts for me
I know that I have complete control over what I choose to think.
Everything is in perfect order in my Universe. I am complete to
the good of all parties concerned. Thank you, thank you, thank
