& Announcements:
Intuition and Reflections
Janice is now taking reservations for the spring class.
This class will begin on the last Monday of April.
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) 880-0454.
Don't be disappointed, call now as the class is filling rapidly.

Telephone: (604) 988-9907
Dear Anne Marie,
I am searching for that loving, lasting relationship. Can you help me? I have heard that doing affirmations do work for some
people. Am I one of them? Wondering??? Judy
Dear Judy,
Please read my article below “In Search of a Loving, Lasting Relationship?”
Dear Anne Marie,
All the girls I meet seem to be not interested in me. I am nice-looking, tall, pleasant and take care of myself? Can you answer
why? Fred
Dear Fred,
Could you be trying too hard? I always suggest that people do affirmations to attract and create loving, lasting relationships.
Why not try this one?
“I, Fred, deserve and now have a loving, lasting, happy relationship with the perfect woman for me. We are compatible and
enjoy a happy, healthy relationship to the good of all parties concerned. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.”

In
Search of a Loving Relationship?
Anne Marie Evers, Affirmations Coach
Relationships are a part of everyday life. Your relationship with yourself is the most important one you will ever have. Learn to
love, respect, accept and approve of yourself, just the way you are. Then you can move on to creating happy, fulfilled
relationships of all types. You have a relationship with life, money, career, loved ones, all others and everything. It is wise to
create long, lasting happy healthy relationship in life. You choose -- you know the difference between a right relationship and a
wrong one. Learn to let go of relationships that are no longer working for you.
"It is the nineties, going into the year 2002 so why am I having so much trouble finding that special soul-mate, mate, partner,
lover or spouse," you may ask? "Love is so natural, right, good and basic. Why is it so difficult to find?" These questions are
asked frequently. The answer is you need a blueprint -- a simple How To Instruction Guide to attract and keep that special
person.
The Relationship Puzzle
Selecting relationships are like putting the pieces of a puzzle together. All relationships require work, trust, loving kindness and
consideration. How much energy and loving kindness are you prepared to put into your relationship finding? How Important is
your puzzle? Put your very own relationship puzzle together piece by wonderful piece today. Problems are only pieces of the
larger puzzle. You may need to find the solution to each part of the puzzle. Even the smallest piece is important and if it is
missing the puzzle is incomplete. Work with the whole puzzle at times. Sometimes problem solving the whole puzzle involves
working with other people. It is important to keep in mind that you must never force a person to commit to you. It has to be his
or her decision. Adopt a win/win attitude. Get agreement from each piece of the puzzle before putting it in the main part of the
puzzle.
When involved in the Relationship Puzzle you are always searching for the right pieces. Carefully examine each one. Perhaps it
contains a lesson you need to learn. Can you see that a loving Relationship Puzzle cannot contain seeds of dishonesty, mistrust
and betrayal? Even if the piece looks to you as if it will fit perfectly, when you place it next to the other piece, you discover that
it does not. If this happens, it is time to take a look at yourself and discover exactly what your desires are. If it is a little piece,
(a little anger or resentment) and you think you can ignore it or leave it out, think again as your puzzle will never be complete
without all the pieces. As you pick up each piece, gaze at it intently and ask if there are any lessons or information that you
need to know to proceed. If the answer is yes, ask for the answer and then sit quietly and listen.
In the case of the fear of commitment piece of the Relationship Puzzle, you may have the puzzle shaping up just great, but when
it comes time to place that piece, you cannot get it to fit. Then it is time to go within and do some soul searching. It may be time
to forgive, dissolve or release that block from a previous relationship? Ask yourself what is it that you really desire. You may
need to curb your possessive ways or streak of jealousy. It could be that the person you are trying so desperately to fit into the
puzzle may not be the right person at all!
The Perfect Mate Puzzle
You may choose to use particular pieces of the puzzle that you apply to your perspective mate. Mark the pieces, "Healthy,
happy, independent, kind, loving, balanced, loving, generous, faithful, kind, caring, financially independent, nice appearance and
more. When you put all the pieces together you may discover that the person you are doing it for is the right person for you, but
needs a few minor adjustments. Ask yourself how much are you willing to compromise? Then do a Relationship Puzzle for
yourself and find out what kind of mate you are. You may also discover some values or desirable qualities missing. It is very
important to forgive. Being in a relationship with self or others is a responsibility. You are the scriptwriter, producer and director of your show. All
relationships take time and work to evolve into loving, lasting ones. A great relationship enhances your life, but it does in no
way complete it. We all know individuals who repeat disastrous relationships. It would appear that they have confused love for
what they feel is a familiar experience. The known experience gives pleasure only because it feels normal and comfortable. It
keeps them in the comfort of a known, abusive, unhappy relationship. They soon forget how painful these relationships can be
as they feel they are safe harbors to them. These negative situations and relationships can be dangerous. These people actually
fear the unknown experience of a right relationship and are afraid to take a step out of your comfort zone into the right
direction.
Never allow fear to control your life. Learn to experience negative situations so clearly that they cannot repeat themselves. Are
you attracting the wrong people into your life? Do you feel you have to live up to the demands of others? Why? Your
attainment of personal security, joy and happiness have absolutely nothing to do with others’ expectations of you. Your right
thinking and positive thoughts have everything to do with your happiness. Relationships do not solve problems. Now you have
two people working on them. You are never able to work out someone else’s problems -- nor can anyone work out your
problems.
Set the guidelines at the beginning of any relationship. Define your wants and needs. Know the difference between them. A
needy love is a false love. To be needy is a crutch and to need is a tool. Everyone has basic needs for food, clothing, shelter
and living necessities. There is a difference between a need and a want. A need in a relationship is when you have a gap in
your own life and you need someone to fill it. There may be a specific need such as loneliness. A needy person is different from
a person who has desires and wants, goals and expectations. To want is to desire. Do you know the difference between a need
and a want? You may have a fear of living alone. Instead of working on improving and healing yourself, you search for a person
to fill that need and to make you feel whole.
A want in a relationship is when you are a whole person and desire to enhance or add to your wholeness. You may wish to
share your whole person with another. It then becomes a caring, sharing situation where each individual has and gives 100%.
The Relationship Train
The Relationship Train is always on track, on time and dependable. To attract that perfect, lasting, loving relationship, you have
to be in the market place. Boarding the Relationship Train is the process of placing yourself in the market place. You are never
turned away. All are welcomed equally. The Train of Relationships is like a passenger train with many cars. Everyone boards
and disembarks at will. You are free to move throughout the train. The conductor is your subconscious mind or higher self that
guides and protects you along the way.
The Engine is the place where all relationships begin. You are in a relationship with yourself at birth. You are always in some
form of relationship, whether negative or positive. The physical part of all relationships is created in the engine. It is fueled by
the emotions of desire and passion. The engine is the first car.
The Sleeping Car is the comfort zone car. Your porters are fear and phobias and they are at your beck and call. They
provide you with clean bedding, (excuses) comfortable surroundings and keep you in your comfort zone. Your comfortable
surrounding is the process of blaming others for your misfortunes and never taking responsibility for their own actions and lives.
This could also be the sulking or silent area where one partner goes to sulk. This is their secret room, car or hiding spot in the
mind.
The Dining Room Car is a place to talk, communicate and resolve issues. This is a fully functioning car that leads to growth,
happiness, long, lasting, loving relationships and marriage. Stay here as long as you desire. Some people find loving, happy
relationships or marriages and stay in this car for their entire lifetimes.
The Club Car is for socializing and having fun. This car is to enjoy, relax, meet other singles and communicate on a fun level.
This is the fun-loving car. There are no strings attached and no commitments. It could be called "The Hang Loose
Car.
"The Baggage Car is where all personal baggage is placed. You can leave it there to be disposed of, or you may take it with
you. The choice is yours. It may be the time to get rid of any unwanted, negative baggage. When leaving this car, be careful not
to pick up another person’s baggage. You may find it heavier or more troublesome than your own.
The Caboose is the place of ending relationships. People who want to end relationships enter and visit this car. This is the
place of true beginnings and endings.
If your partner desires and chooses to get off your Relationship Train, allow him or her to do so. Release them with loving
kindness to their highest good. When one relationship is ended and the grieving process is complete, you are ready for another
relationship opportunity to appear. This can apply to any friendship or relationship.
There are various boarding stations (choices) all along the way. People board these cars at will and they stay as long as they
wish. They can get off whenever they choose. This is a train of free choice. Are you on the Relationship Train? What car will
you stop at and for how long? Every day everyone is deciding which train to board, then which car to retreat to in every
relationship. At any time you can visit the other cars or feel free to get off that particular Relationship Train and board another.
This process is ongoing and you will always be boarding, staying or getting off the train. This wonderful Relationship Train is
always on track, on time and dependable. It delivers everyone, who chooses to board it, to the destination of choice.
Choose your particular train and retreat to the car of your choosing. Make good, solid, informed decisions. Great, loving,
lasting relationships add to your happiness. True happiness does not come pre-packaged. It comes from within and needs to be
practiced daily until it becomes a habit.

Trust:
Janice Smith
Self Empowerment Coach
Learning to fully trust the universe is definitely a challenge.
All kinds of curves can be thrown your way. Do I choose this
pathway or should I choose that one. Is this the right person for
me, is this the right house or the right move? How does one know
which way to go? Part of it is learning to trust your sixth sense
or instincts, the other part is trusting in the universe and
knowing you will be provided for! This can be a challenge when one
is under pressure to make a decision! It is important to get quiet
with self and allow the universe or higher power to coach you. We
do not always know why we are being led in a certain direction,
yet if we learn to trust, our life will be easier. This is going
with the flow, learning to move along on your particular pathway
and getting off the idea of where you should go and who you should
follow. There is nothing easy about this learning to trust, as we
are programmed not to trust anyone or anything, underneath, that
is how our society functions, so you will be bucking the trend in
learning to trust that all will be ok.
Try getting quiet, find a nice quiet place to just sit and
allow yourself to be at peace. Then go inside yourself and ask for
guidance, which direction do I need to go, what is it I need to do
in this situation. Be patient and wait for an answer. Once you
have your answer, don't try and make sense of it, just try and
follow it the best you can!
With practice this will become easier and easier! Good luck and may spirit be with you!
Love and Hugs,
Janice

Reflections:
Janice Smith
Hi Janice,
I am tired of my boyfriend, he never calls, I must always call
him. He says that it is better that way but I am tired of being
the one to make all the contacts. Couldn't he just put a little
effort into the relationship. I love him a lot but am tired of
always being the one to do and suggest things. I know he loves me
but I want more.
Greta
Dear Greta,
It is definitely frustrating when you are always the one making
the effort. It feels as if the other person does not care. Are you
putting too much effort into this relationship and not enough into
yourself. You may want to see what you are doing for your
relationship with yourself. Are you always trying to get someone
else to love you or are you putting energy into loving yourself.
You may find a pleasant surprise when you turn some of that
attention towards yourself.
Hugs, Janice
